Be careful. They bite.

One day I was enjoying my early retirement out in the countryside, taking comfort in the simplicity of my off grid lifestyle. Hunting and gardening provided the bulk of my own food, and I slept and did my work from inside my converted shipping container mini-home. It could get a bit lonely at times—but it gave me the space I needed to get away from the city...and my past.

But when a trio of cute goblins emerged from a silver portal that appeared out of nowhere on my property...things got a bit more complicated all of a sudden. Also, I soon discovered they bite and scratch: mostly each other, but sometimes me.

Still, I made a commitment to care for them. I also discovered that I can travel freely back to their world and slay monsters to gain strength and enhance each of the women I'm now responsible for in unusual ways. It's all pretty exciting—but what is my childhood friend Susie going to say when she finds out about this strange arrangement? Knowing her, probably something weird.

Jonathan Waters is great. He does a very good job with the Narration. Mandy McCullough does a pretty poor job at it by comparison. I've been listening to this and I just had to put it out there, when I first read the book on Kindle I always imagined the Goblin Girls and Susie would have unique voices, given they're very important characters in the story, but this Audiobook feels very incomplete due to Mandy's performance. Some lines she just fumbles and you struggle to really hear what she's saying. Her range of tone and pitch is non-existent. Jonathan on the other hand is enthusiastic and delivers a strong performance playing the protagonist.
I'm really considering getting a refund due to Mandy's performance.
It brings down the rest of the production by a lot if you ask me.

Rough Narration.

I enjoyed the book well enough. The voices were great, and the acting tickled me in all the right ways. Some of the dialogue from ... Crud, I can't remember her name. The human psycho... yeah, her dialogue is kinda trash. No one talks like she does. Not even crazy people.
There's a lead up to a second book, and I am looking forward to getting that.

Not bad
