The resin reading made this almost impossible to listen to

The stories are fine. The reader has no dynamics in his performance and it really is not fun to listen to.

Monotonous reader. Mostly mediocre stories.

Most of the stories did not sound well written. I did not appreciate Any of them. Too many also did not have a satisfactory end.

Asil was great!

Great Little Treasures

I always like reading little side stories about my favorite characters. The book has great stories. Unfortunately, the narrator was the same throughout the book and he was as dry and monotone as sandpaper.
The book is great, I just recommend you skip this Audble version and read the Kindle one instead.

A Christmas Fantasy Treasure

I really liked all of the stories. Great writing, some familiar characters and an excellent anthology.

Did not like the voice

Really liked the stories. Got it for the Patricia Briggs story which was good if you read it but the voice used was horrible so I couldn’t get into it. Had to read it to enjoy the story. Glad they don’t use the same voice for the rest of Patricia Briggs Alpha and Omega series.

Fingernails on Blackboard.

I had to content myself with reading only with this one. The sound of Bridger Conklin's voice was driving me up the wall before he finished the first story! That soft monotone is horrible!

Stories good Narration Awful

I enjoy many of these authors and some of the stories I heard were quite entertaining. That said, the narrator was terrible, so bad that there was no way for me to continue listening to these stories.

The Narrator is Terrible

I loved the stories, but they really should have paid for professionals to do the narration. The narrator (one of the "editors") was unbearable to listen too. Couldn't even be bothered to learn how to pronounce words.

Please don't waste your money
