 I thought the narrator did a fine job, both with the males and females. 
 Story-wise, this reminded me a lot of Anita Blake. You have the independent female paranormal investigator (eg: Anita) doing the bidding of the area's master vampire (eg: Jean Claude). they lust after each other, but the female refuses for a while, then finally gives in. I mean, even Willy from Anita Blake has a similar character as Lani, a vampire she knows is a good person and somewhat trusts but is forced to do his master's bidding. There are some erotic scenes which i'm not particularly fond of, but YMMV. Personally, I abandoned Anita Blake when it started getting more relationship/erotic focused and less mystery/thriller, but if you liked the series you'd probably like this one too.
