Hemovore

Audio Heaven ... or When a Genius Narrator Makes an Already Perfect Book Better.

When I read Hemovore I was once again floored by Jordan Castillo Price's ability to take a familiar trope, in this case Vampirism, and give it a fresh twist. I loved it and thought it was perfect, especially with the added novella, Sweet. Little did I know that along would come Joel Leslie and his myriad of voices, accents, and characterizations. I fell in love with Jonathan all over again ... and what can I say about Mark? He is our everyman: a clothes snob, with insecurities over his weight and age, yet always hungry. Joel makes us feel where these characters are coming from in a very visceral way.

I stretched out the listening as much as I could because I very much wanted to continue living in that world and have Joel be in my head. I'll definitely be listening to this again. And again. And again.
