Review: Storming Venice by Anna Bendewald, read by Kristen Sieh
Storming Venice is the second book in The Venice Trilogy of romantic suspense novels by Anna Bendewald.
The action in Storming Venice picks up just a few weeks after the events in Stealing Venice, with old characters making a return and with new ones introduced. Dark secrets, a dangerous and murderous enemy on a rampage, strong women, members of the LGBT community, and the battle of the great Houses in the floating city of Venice combine into a gripping story about love, power, friendship and family.
This second novel in The Venice Trilogy is as well written as the first, with an interesting plot, full of action and mystery. The author takes great care of her well defined characters and expands on their arcs.
The audiobook version of Storming Venice is recorded by renowned actor and Tony award-winning Broadway performer Kristen Sieh, who you may know from blockbuster TV series such as House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, or Boardwalk Empire.
She once again draws from her extensive language skills in order to deliver an immersive and realistic narrative experience for the listener. Switching with ease between characters, voices, and accents, her narration of Storming Venice is spot-on. I think Kristen is a great choice as the voice for this entertaining trilogy.
After I listened to Stealing Venice I said that it could be the perfect summer listen and I extend this to Storming Venice. Two books in, the stakes are higher than ever, and I can’t wait to discover the conclusion in the last book of The Venice Trilogy.
