This review is of the audiobook read by Rory Barnett and Imogen Church.
An immortal monster hunter is called to fight the Beast of Gévaudan.
Wow! Debut author Cameron Sullivan manages to balance multiple timelines and POVs, while also writing memorable characters and telling one hell of a horror story. I was swept up by this book and did not want it to end.
The Narrators
Rory Barnett did a good job as the primary narrator. He spoke clearly and conveyed emotion well. I didn't particularly care for his accents, but that's a minor quibble.
I did not care for Imogen Church's reading. She alternated between sounding like a cackling fishwife and bellowing like a third-rate Shakespearean actor. Fortunately her sections were few and brief.
My rating of the audiobook is three and a half stars, but I'm going to bump that up to the four stars I'm sure it would have been had I read this in print.
