There are two types of unabridged audiobooks. The first one is closer to an audio drama. Even a single author can create characters with unique tone, inflection, cadence, and even accent. The second one is where the narrator simply reads the book as presented. This narrator is firmly in the second category. Her voice is melodic and easy to understand. her pace is even and her volume is constant.
As for the story, I liked it well enough. It reminded me of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, but with a little more Vampire Diaries flavor; very teen-angsty. Interesting concept, paced well, urban fantasy.
