Summary

The New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger, writing as G. L. Carriger, brings her comedic voice to contemporary fiction and m/m romance.

Alex, marine biologist and werewolf, has seen better days. Unexpectedly alive, secretly gay, and haunted by a meddlesome, matchmaking ghost, he must now team up with very flirty mermen to save the city from sushi smugglers - and he still can't get a date.

A full cast of science-fiction and fantasy luminaries join together to bring Gail Carriger's short and sweet LGBTQ love story to life with full production audio by ArtisticWhispers Productions and original score by composer Danny Schade.

This is the prequel to The Sumage Solution.

Delicate sensibilities? This audiobook contains confused lovelorn werewolves and very pretty ex-Goth mermen who are exclusively interested in each other. May also contain fish, Irish mafia, and a shocking lack of tea.

Fun story, didn’t love all the narrators

How Alex and Marvin meet and Alex comes out as alpha - it’s lots of fun but several of the voices didn’t work for me, which spoilt it a bit.

Off to listen to the Summage Solution - so far the narrator (just the one) is great

A fab novella, brilliantly brought to life. Highly recommended!

While I'd read the ebook of this story previously, this audiobook version is a full cast recording made by Artistic Whispers, and so literally brought the story to life. I really enjoyed listening to it, and their use of appropriate foley, sound effects and background music really enhanced it. I'd definitely recommend the audiobook to all Gail Carriger lovers (as long as they're OK with M/M relationships) and similar supernatural book lovers. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Enjoyable Story

The story is amusing and a prologue to a great series, I personally don't like the performance style though, but that's just me.

Bad 80's audio drama

Story is great. Performance is cheesy and wooden, like a dated children's alternative media thing with stock sound effects. I am used to Audio books, I don't need animal noises and creaking doors in the background to get atmosphere. Many good actors/actresses have demonstrated how to do this well. This is not it.

Prefer single narration

Having lots of people narrating together didn't work for me. I would have preferred one narrator with the skill to differentiate all the voices.
