Love the Book, Hate the Narrator

How could the performance have been better?
This narrator doesn't know simple words, for example, she insists on using the word "fort" for "forte" which should be pronounced for-tay for heavens sake. That drives me insane and there are others. She didn't even try to sound similar to the characters from the Cassie Palmer books. I hadn't planned to listen again but I love the story so much, I had to buy it and then fussed at myself all the way through for having done so. I wish I had bought the nook version.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 399
Dorina Basarab is a dhampir - half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. So far Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing. Now Dory's vampire father has come back into her life. Her uncle Dracula (yes, the Dracula), infamous even among vampires for his cruelty and murderous ways, has escaped his prison.

If you like Cynthia Holloway's performance on the Cassie Palmer series, simply buy the real book and leave this audible alone. It's not even close to the characters we know and love. All the guys sound alike. It's just bad. I will buy the nook version and read the 2nd book but I certainly can't make it through one more audible with this narrator. UGH!!!
