The dramatized adaptation of Burn for Me, first novel in the Hidden Legacy series, will be released next week by Graphic Audio.
GA expect a similar release schedule for Hidden Legacy as for Kate, with a new installment every couple of months or so. They will be adapting all seven books in the series: Nevada’s trilogy, the Diamond Fire transition novella, and Catalina’s trilogy. They will also include the bonus unpublished Arabella POV blog exclusives: A Misunderstanding and The Cool Aunt.
Without further ado, the first samples from Burn for Me, fresh of the sound design table.
Mad Rogan abandons his hermit orchid and joins the Baylors for a meal:
Neva and Rogan meet Bug – the voice transformation is aweeeesome!
It’s an all-new director and cast, which I know you want to check out – GA have updated the list on the Burn for Me page I linked above.
The new team have had the same level of collaboration and insight from Ilona and Gordon as Nora and her team for the Kate adaptations. Pronunciations clips with HA’s preferences, advice on voice casting, insight on characters, what our favorite scenes are etc. But a reminder here as always that Graphic Audio are their on business, who approach the authors and buy adaptation rights to these works, so all creative and commercial decisions are ultimately theirs.
House Andrews do not commission them for these audio books. The GA dramatized full-cast adaptations will never replace the traditional, one-narrator audio books released by the authors and their publishers.
I have covered in more detail how to buy and the accessibility of the GA app in this post, which you can also supplement with the Graphic Audio Help FAQ on their website.
Audiobooks.com are also running a promotion for 70% the dramatized GA adaptation of Magic Slays until the 1st of May. A chance to complete your collection if you don’t own it already!
Happy listening!
*squeeeeeeee!*
Having listened to both clips, these are going to be terrific and I can’t wait! I often have a hard time listening to single narrator audiobooks, but I’ve had no trouble with any of the GA dramatizations. So happy to have these coming soon.
I agree 100%. I’ve tried and tried the traditional single narrator and except for one particular series (James Marsters / Dresden Files) I fall asleep or end up tuning it out. But not the Graphic Audio treatments! The complete opposite. They are so engaging I find myself standing still just listening. I am very grateful that HA introduced me to GA!!
Just in time for my birthday! Woo Hoo! Graphic Audio Happy Dance!
But are the old audiobooks getting cancelled? Also will they be adopting the entire Hidden Legacy series? When is the first book coming out?
Don’t forget the questions on how to buy them. 🙂
Or where to buy them. 😀
😛 We’ll never know…
Secret Secret Secret !!!
Yay! I’m so excited. Already pre-ordered and anticipating the release. 😆 It’s the reward I’m giving myself/looking forward to after a busy work season.
squeeeee!
as I’m at a re(rerere)read of Hidden legacy, I’m so happy to hear these. thank you!
I can’t wait. next week when? I need date and time 😂
Friday 25th of April…I think at midnight one of the coast’s time. You got me there, not sure of the exact minute 😀
I thiiink it’s midnight east coast (EDT). I’m on the west coast so I get it 9pm the night before! *rubs hands in glee*.
it’s even earlier in Europe *evil smirk*
😄
I’m central time US and my pre-orders are usually available around 8p the night before release. I’ve got mine ordered. Cant wait! The GA versions are soooo much better than solo narration. Can listen to them over and over again like watching your favorite movie.
If it helps, a GA book that I preordered with a release date of 4/17 was available to download about 7 p.m.CST. I got an email with a timestamp of 7:07 p.m. saying it was ready, so I’m guessing the actual time was 7:00 p.m.
That seems to track with what my memory tells me from the past books, but it’s been known to lie to me, so I didn’t want to say anything without being sure.
Now, I don’t plan on that and just take it at a lovely bonus since it’s a bit early, but maybe yours will come then too? I do order directly from GA, if that makes a difference.
Wow! So good. So looking forward to these…. 😁
Rogan’s voice will take some getting used to. Grandma is perfect, though!
Agree! But am glad the voices will stay consistent thru both trilogies.
Love it! So excited to hear the whole adaptation!
Thanks for getting us the sneak “peek” Mod R!
Those were nice! Thanks for the heads up!
These sound so fun. I’m so addicted to the single narrator versions and have the cadence memorized but GA always does such an amazing job. Mmmmm more Hidden Legacy options. Thanks for the previews!
Awesome!!!
so beyond happy – this is my favourite series of yours – thanks
I’ll second the ‘squeeee!’ Comment!
Did anybody else think Leon’s voice actor gave off a young Justin Long vibes? I loved it, great samples
I laughed so hard while listening to the hermit orchid section. I couldn’t stop until it was over.
I agree, Mod R, the voice transformation of Bug is awesome. Whoa! From a hyper toddler to a calm, smooth voice the actor who voices Bug did a great job.
*makes grabbie hands*
I just finished a reread of Burn for Me a couple days ago! Loved hearing these snippets!! I love Bug.
I am currently on vacation in Australia. But I’ve got this on my calendar and I will be downloading it for the long plane flight home. Yeah!
Love the samples! Thank you. GA really does a fantastic job.
You have no idea how much I need this!!!!
Sounds great!
Will I swerve from listen to GA’s World of the Lupi series to listen to Nevada and Mad Rogan? Decisions, decisions.
Can’t wait!!!!!! I have the full digital set, ebooks, Audible and now graphic audio! I know, I have a problem.
There was a house explosion in Austin. Is HA ok?
House Andrews are at a safe distance from Austin, thank you for thinking of them! ☺️
Listening now and just got to Neva and Bern watching the video of young Rogan using his powers- it’s so good. 😁
I can’t wait for the full release ‼️😃
Can’t wait! Already preordered.😁
It took me a moment, but I recognized Henry Kramer’s (Mad Rogan) voice from when he was Ryder Bailey in Ordinary Magic. Great casting choice.
And it’s already out next week??? Just in time for my newly purchased Audible credits. 🎉
~THANK YOU~ I was trying to place where he was familiar from!
OK now I need to read them all again…I go wonder what happens to catalina though…..but we have years yet…
lol…sqweeeeeeeee brilliant. can’t wait
I’m not a fan of audiobooks, but i really enjoyed this. The Hidden Legacy series is my comfort read, when i read it i read all 6 books, i have no 1 favourite book, i love it in its entirety. I think i will give this dramatic adaptation a go. But what i really want is to see this scene acted out! Hidden Legacy would make such a good tv series!
So excited!!!!
So excited for the release – these snippets are wonderful!
Thank you for sharing!
Sending peace, health and safety to all!
That was awesome. It was a great way to start my morning before work.
oh Bug. that “they’re quiet” is heartbreaking.
This just made a somewhat crappy day better. Thank you for sharing the clips! I’m looking forward to next week.
Sooo looking forward to this. Love ALL the IA books and ALL the GraphicAudio adaptations so far. Thank You.
Voices sound perfect, as always! You two do a great job with the voice actors for GA, I always feel like they match my head cannon. Love Innkeeper and Kate, can’t wait for Rogan and Neva!! 😀
Bug is perfect.
I’m so excited. This may be my all time favorite series.
This is only slightly related, but has Avon said anything about reissue-ing Catalina books in the same way that Nevada’s were? I know they are in charge of making that call.
No official news on that, I’m afraid.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the Baylors! Love Bug! These snippets were awesome! Can’t wait for next week! TY TY. Thanks, Mod R, for cooridinating all that is needed on behalf of IA for the GAs and audio books.
I ordered this months ago. I can NOT wait!
I’ve read the series soooo many times. Having a new format makes me so excited. Already preordered and these clips are great!!
Wow! Love these voices of actors are great!
Great snippets, can’t wait for the release! GA never disappoints.
I appreciate these dramatization books so much. When I can’t sleep or get my mind off things, I open one of these on my phone and fall asleep listening! And I will admit that while on the one hand I don’t like how audible “owns” the material and prevents one from truly downloading or anything, the phone app is so easy to use when one is repeatedly playing a book, finding one’s place and chapter and so on is so simple. I am so grate for Ilona Andrews and their creativity and sharing of their lives. I appreciate the common sense approach to their everyday lives.
I’m so excited for these. I love the traditional audiobooks, too, but Kate Daniels won me over to Graphic Audio’s vision for books and they’ve been my gateway to even more epic urban fantasy.
I’m so excited for this! My really bad eyesight finally caught up with me and i just had emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. Reading is uncomfortable right now but i am listening to all the innkeeper graphic audio books and it is keeping me sane. Love the voices in the sample thanks for sharing!!!
Weeeh! This is the best birthday week I could ever ask for! (I know it isn’t intentional on House Andrews’s part, but having GA Burn for Me samples the day before my birthday, and a new serial coming out a couple of days after? So awesome!)
Thank you for sharing these things with us! Can’t wait for the graphic audio version of Burn for Me!
Awesomesauce! I cannot wait. Thanks for the samples.
love, love, love
Very exciting! I’ve been doing a re-read of some of my favorite series (innkeeper chronicles and hidden legacy) and am keeping my fingers crossed that HL’s world will be revisited eventually, even if that’s a few years from now🥹
Thanks for sharing 😁
Hope this is okay to post. Graphic Audio commented on their Instagram that ETA for Book 2 is late July.
Comment is on the Burn for Me post at the top of their Instagram page.
I am soooo happy! Once I finish my GA Kate series binge listening this one is next. I love listening to these. 💗💗🌸🌸💗💗
Just listened to the finished version and it is an absolute jewel. I am so glad that you all are working with the Graphic Audio people, this was a joy to experience and I am very grateful to your for allowing your story to have this way of being told as well as with single narration and on the page.
Thank you
I prefer the GA adaptations over single narrator books. I have a hard time believing when one person does all the character voices. But I’m not sure about Rogan’s voice. However I’ll hold judgement until I hear the whole thing.
