About this listen

Riley
When I left my life as the daughter of the most powerful mob family in New York City, I never imagined I’d be forced to marry my identical twin sister’s fiancé.

Even if he’s Finn Gallagher, the family’s heartless, handsome, and intimidating top enforcer. And the only man I’ve ever wanted.

But when my sister disappeared on her wedding day, my father demanded I impersonate her.

If I refused, I’d endanger the lives of everyone. If I agreed, I’d be putting myself back into the hands of the Gallaghers, the family that betrayed me.

Nothing could be more dangerous.

Then he kissed me.

And I knew I was wrong.

Finn
The last thing I wanted to do was marry sexy mob daughter Harper Brennan.

Been there, done that. One woman’s death on my conscience is enough. Unfortunately, it’s not up to me.

But when I lifted her veil, I found Harper’s twin sister Riley, the disgraced and exiled daughter.

One scorching kiss and I knew I’d been engaged to the wrong twin.

I can’t fall for her. I’m a brutal murderer. The villain. And villains don’t get the girl.

But for her, I would do anything.

Even play right into my enemy’s hands.

This was my first virtual voice listen and as much as I wanted to like it - it just sounds like 2 artificial voices and I struggled to listen the whole book.

I don’t care for the virtual voice. It is missing feelings and emotions. Not sure if I would purchase another book using this technology.

I think this was a great book. I enjoyed the story. The voice was weird but it was fine.

This was not terrible

This book is good enough for real voices. Although I prefer the male and female voices over a single narrator, virtual voice makes enough errors to grate on my nerves a little. I gave the story 5 stars because I liked the characters and story line. I’ll definitely read or listen to another.

My first and last audio book with virtual voices. Multiple mispronounced words, voice inflection was terrible, sounded like robots in parts. Story was good, though never told where the sister was.

I’m not even 20% through this and I’m ready to throw down. The story is intriguing; I’m invested. But the rampant mispronunciations and weird emphasis take this listener out of the story over and over and OVER. I’ll be hesitant to purchase anything narrated by AI after this. What a waste of money and time.

Seriously, train your AI better

I absolutely loved this story, and was so excited to hear it on Audible. The AI voices ruined it. No emotion, everything felt so sterile like a text book. Definitely disappointed with the AI :(

Disappointed….

The story was good but the AI voice has zero inflection. It brings the story down and makes it hard to listen to.

2.5 ⭐️ | 3.5 🌶️

For the love of God, can we all agree that “Virtual Voice” audiobooks need to be stopped? Immediately. This was my first and it will absolutely be my last. I don’t care if it was free — I paid with my sanity.

You know that awkward cringe when male narrators attempt a female voice and you’re like, please stop? Yeah… I take it all back. I get it now. At least it gave me a clue that someone else was speaking. With this AI-robot narration? Monotone. All of it.

🔥 Hate sex? Monotone.
🩸 Fingers being ripped off? Monotone.
😱 Fear for your literal life? You guessed it… Monotone.
🚐 Kidnapped? Flatline.

I couldn’t tell what was dialogue, what was internal monologue, or whether I was supposed to be panicked or turned on. Turns out I was neither — just annoyed.

Honestly, I think the book itself was a solid 3 stars. Decent plot, decent spice, but I’ll never really know because Virtual Voice murdered every ounce of tension this book was supposed to have.

Can’t recommend the audiobook unless you enjoy emotional whiplash delivered by Siri’s angsty cousin. 🙃

Please don’t make Virtual Voice a thing….
