I was excited to see that Hudson, book two in The Billionaires of Whispers, is going to be coming to audiobook. I think audiobooks are great for someone like me who has a long drive on the weekend when doing my errands or just want to get some reading done while I’m working on some crocheting and knitting projects. This time Amanda Stribling and Patrick Zeller help tell the story about Lacey and Hudson.
I read the e-book of this story and gave it four and a half stars, and the audiobook is getting just that. The story was able to transfer over to audio format so well, and really, I was able to picture the story in my head while it was being told. It’s great hearing the words come to life, and it always impresses me how this adds another level and depth to the story.
Now the spice in this book is a solid four chili peppers, which is the same as the book, as none of the scenes were edited. However, with Samantha Skye, she was able to know when to fade to black for the spice. It’s great to see an author know when to give it to us and when to just let our imaginations run wild.
While I loved hearing Hudson come to life, I did feel like the narrators were a bit off. There were points in the story where Amanda Stribling (Lacey) lost the southern accent while she was still being the same character, and Patrick Zeller (Hudson) just felt odd at points in the story. I did think that together they sounded great, and I am giving the narration to his three microphones.
I do feel like people should take another trip to Whispers with Hudson. It’s a great story and is written so well that you will enjoy seeing some old characters along with getting to know new ones a bit better. Hudson is available wherever you get your audiobooks, and good news, if you are a KOBO Plus member! Hudson is available with your membership.
I would like to thank Samantha Skye for the ARC Copy of this book. Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own.
