🎤  NARRATED BY  🎤 Troy Duran. 9hrs 23mins

The narrator changed for the second book. This can be very frustrating as a listener, but Troy stepped into the role flawlessly. The change, in the end, did not cause an issue. 

ARTICULATION  - clean and clear 
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise.
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control.
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – attempts to bring to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. 
SEPARATION- clear and decisive for both performers.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

Series: Wicked Lovers: Soliders for Hire - an enjoyable ear bud nibble. This book picks up immediately from book 1. Both books could easily be combined into one solid read. Wicked and Worshipped is therefore the better choice. A shame that the story did not end with a wedding or baby,  however this may be revisited in the other books in the series.
