Audiobook edition! This one is a for Irina.

Book comments:
When I first read Jory & Sam, I was not completely sold. Jory was likable, perhaps a bit too likable. And Sam was a bit creepy. I mean, he keeps popping up out of nowhere and barks orders at Jory. It doesn't feel romantic to me. Honestly, Jory has so many good options that are not Sam, I just don't get it. Jory says he is crazy about Sam, but I don't feel it. What I do feel is the bromance between Dane and Jory. I bet I'm not the first to secretly wish that Dane goes all GFY and this turns into a socially acceptable incest story. There are several more books, and

, so game on, right?

Has anyone done a Sam Kage vs. Jake Riordan smack-down? Or perhaps a comparative essay? Because for all the similarities, they couldn't be more different.

Audiobook comments: Paul Morey is a very good narrator. I didn't find his voice irresistible, but he did juggle the characters really well. His pace was a bit slow even at 1.5x speed, so I listened to most at 2x. His Jory was spot on, I think he really captured the "happy-go-lucky, everyone adores me but I am not conceited"-ness of Jory. Sam came off as thick, maybe that is spot on as well?
The jazzy music between chapters is cheesy and perfect.

Final verdict - the book overall is still 3 stars, but the audiobook was fun and warrants one more half star.
