Cole’s series shifts quickly from funny to intense to sexy to violent, and Petkoff makes it all work. In A Hunger Like No Other, Lachlain MacRieve, the leader of the Lykae, realizes half vampire Emmeline is his mate, something neither of them wants any part of. Petkoff also narrated works by Atul Gawande, David Foster Wallace, and Louis L’Amour. Robert Petkoff is an American stage actor who performs an amazing array of voices for Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. Here are ten narrators whose performance can make a bad book bearable and good book great: Even the most perfect diction and dead-on Scottish accent won’t work if the narrator isn’t unfurling the story in an emotionally authentic way. I need to feel that the narrator is really engaged with the novel, not just collecting a paycheck. But as important as the voice is, emotional authenticity is number one for me. And then there are the sex scenes, which can either sound hot or cringeworthy. Shifts between characters should be distinct, but sometimes narrators go overboard: men using a high or breathy voice for women characters, women adopting a monotone mumble or angry growl for male characters.
For one thing, most have rapidly alternating male and female points of view, and if the narrator can’t voice different genders, forget it. Romance novels can pose some special challenges in audiobook format.
