The Beauty Within by HL Day 

 

On Top Down Under Review

'This is one hell of an audiobook. Jake Whalley is magnificent. It’s like being in the book – in 16th century France and then in Sheffield, England in 2018. I know how this book ends and I still cried my eyes out listening. I felt angry, I clutched my chest. I had to keep reminding myself, ‘Kaz, it ends well.‘ From a totally objective standpoint – I’ve read the book – I know it has a HEA but I felt the pain of Frankie and Daniel so much more viscerally thanks to Whalley’s performative narration. He really, REALLY embodied these characters. It was like he was living the experience as well. I’ll sheepishly add that the sex scenes are face-melting. There aren’t many but, holy hell….'

'The narrator Jake Whalley is new to me and he did a really good job. I liked how he spoke the different accents. Also, you could always hear which character he was speaking. His narration pace was also great and with his pleasant voice he made this book a perfect listening experience.'

'this narrator completely blew me away. Not only did he deliver scenes with the appropriate emotion and tone, all while maintaining a pleasant cadence that made for an easy listen, but his accents were amazing. A performance featuring both Yorkshire and French accents as well as different voices for each character, all of which were pleasing to my ear, was such a surprise and absolute treat. While this is a new-to-me narrator, I certainly hope it won’t be the last time I hear his work because it’s fantastic.'

'This narrator is new to me, but I really enjoyed the performance. Reading the book was wonderful, and hearing it brought to life with the accents and emotions was a joy. The pacing and nuances are well done, and the characters have their own unique voices. Truly a pleasure!'
