About this listen

It’s one year later, and a lot has changed.

Audiobook superfan Vera is “in the industry” now, and Cameron is not so sure he’s onboard. Jennifer has rocketed to narrator fame, but not everyone is comfortable with her newfound status. Neil and Georgia are happily married, but their HEA is wreaking havoc on her writing career. With the Audie Awards just around the corner, all these tensions are higher than ever. But you know who’s feeling just fine?

The Narwhal. Because the Narwhal...is in love.

You know when you need a good laugh that you can count on Erin Mallon. Could it be funnier than the first book? I think it just might be. This audio play brings us back to our good friends in the studio and lets us live in a day in the life of a group of authors and narrators. This quirky bunch plays out all the things we think they would be as listeners! The banter, the eccentricities, the writer's block, their own relationships, each making me laugh and just lighting up my day. With a cast of characters that seem to be written for the amazing cast of narrators, it could not be a better way to start my week. Add in the sound effects and stage direction, we are treated to a play in our minds and it's nothing short of pure magic.

Enjoy Erin's amazing story with Joe Arden, Andi Arndt, Shane East, Tanya Eby, Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon, Maxine Mitchell, Emma Wilder. I don't even have to comment about their performances, their names tell it all. Amazing, funny, heartfelt, quirky, you name it, this cast nails it! I am definitely looking forward to hearing more from these characters!

Need a laugh? Look no further!

How does one improve upon perfection? I sure don't know, but Erin Mallon does! These Walls Can Talk 2: The Narwhal Strikes Back! is sweet and funny and relatable and outrageous and all the things I dreamt of from the moment this creation was announced. Andi Arndt, Shane East, Tanya Eby, Teddy Hamilton, Emma Wilder and Joe Arden are all back reprising their roles, with new cast members Maxine Mitchell and Erin Mallon.

Right off the bat the Sound Design by Nick Long and Editing by Tyler Whitlach was perfection. It turned a book and narration into a play and experience for the listener. I was blown away by how perfect their creative choices were.

This play felt a bit like art imitating life. Challenges with at home recording studios, noises in the booth, kids in the apartment, These seem like challenges working parents (*cough* Erin) would experience on a regular basis especially since March 2020. Some of Neil's story line is even similar to stories I have heard Teddy Hamilton share in lives on facebook. Vera, is trying to carve out a career in the audiobook world in whatever way she can. If we could all make a living out of reading, wouldn't we try? The conversations about F/F romance and M/M romance were so accurate! Though I know quite a few people who enjoy F/F romance so maybe the market is growing?

While Erin's characters are fictional, they are archetypes of the people you find in the romance community, people who love books and the artists that create them. These Walls Can Talk 2 feels like a love letter to romance audiobooks and romancelandia and it was expertly written an performed.

Also, my name is in this play... MY NAME IS IN THIS PLAY!! sorry for the shouty capitals but OMG it was the coolest moment getting to hear my full name read by the talented Joe Arden! I fangirled HARD! At this point my husband was looking at me like I was a looney toon, so of course he had to listen too. Erin Mallon made all my audiobook, bookstagram, blogger romance reader dreams come true. Achievement unlocked, I have officially peaked but man it was good. (Vera would totally fangirl with me if I could tell her)

If you have any concerns about a sequel living up to the original, have no fear! This play is absolutely brilliant! 5 Stars and a standing ovation to Erin Mallon and the cast of TWCT2.

I received an ALC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

A Standing Ovation for This Brilliant Sequel!
