Wonderful!

This listen was really enjoyable. I even laughed out loud several times, especially during the interruptions of the story when the characters converse about the story. I also found the promotions to buy the books amusing. This is just one clever story. The narration is excellent as well.
If you like speculative Victorian fiction with interesting female characters, give this series a try.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 822
All alone in Singapore, proper Miss Primrose Tunstell must steal helium to save her airship, the Spotted Custard, in a scheme involving a lovesick werecat and a fake fish tail. When she uncovers rumors of a new kind of vampire, Prim and the Custard crew embark on a mission to Peru. There, they encounter airship pirates and strange atmospheric phenomena, and are mistaken for representatives of the Spanish Inquisition. Forced into extreme subterfuge (and some rather ridiculous outfits) Prim must also answer three of life's most challenging questions.

This third installment in the Custard Protocol series is the best yet. I laughed out loud several times. It also deals nicely with trans issues, in a Victorian context, of course. Moira Quirk's narration was exquisite. This is one of the best narrated books I've ever listened to.

A Great Story, But - Narrator Changed!

Pip Ballantine is a wonderful narrator
Reviewed: 10-04-17
I'm writing this in response to another review that panned the narration. I was leery of buying this audiobook because of that review, but I listened to the sample and decided it didn't sound too bad. What you can't tell from the sample is that Pip Ballantine is a splendid narrator. Tee Morris is passable and does a decent job with different accents, but Pip stole the show. The story was interesting with a surprise or two; a nice continuation of the saga of Eliza, Wellington, and Sophia.

Story4 out of 5 stars 70
What do you get when you add up one guardian angel with ADD, one human who's texting when she should be watching where she's walking, and one open manhole in the middle of the street? You get a cracked skull with 16 stitches and a guilt-ridden guardian angel. The guardian angel, Zing, comes to earth in human form to make it up to her charge, Nell Parker. What doesn't add up is the Internet romance Nell is having. Something (cat)fishy is happening, and now Zing feels obligated to protect Nell's heart.

Fun Story, Great Narration
Reviewed: 08-04-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this. The story is hilarious and entertaining and the narration was thoroughly enjoyable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Big Love?
There were lots of laugh-out-loud moments, but the 'je ne sais quoi' routine was classic. I had to stop the book until I finished laughing so I didn't miss anything.
What about Layce Gardner’s performance did you like?
I am usually leery of authors reading their own books. Having heard Gardner read excerpts before, however, I was cautiously optimistic about this full-length narration. While Gardner was briefly a little stiff at the beginning, she quickly relaxed into the reading and did a wonderful job. The different characters' voices were easily identifiable; Zing's voice was perfect. Gardner ably captured Zing's naiveté and exuberance. It's clear that Gardner's previous acting experience made her a skilled narrator of her own work.It was a real treat to hear how she envisioned her characters and what they must sound like in her own head.
