Dead First

Selena Mikes’ narration in Dead First is nothing short of exceptional; her tone oscillates between calm professionalism and creeping dread, perfectly capturing Shyla’s perspective as she navigates the enigmatic billionaire Saxton’s mansion. The story builds a tense atmosphere through its narrative pace and clever use of dialogue, which feels authentic and engaging even when delivering exposition. However, some scenes feel slightly rushed, disrupting the otherwise seamless progression of events. Despite this minor issue, Dead First is a compelling listen that masterfully intertwines mystery with horror, offering a chilling experience for audiobook enthusiasts.
