THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING

Narrator Brianna Colette gives a solid performance of this dense fantasy, which pulls back the curtain to reveal long-held secrets that have shaped the deeply religious land of Bethel and its haunted woods. After an unexpected trip into the Darkwoods, Immanuelle Moore finds herself even more at odds with the world around her as she struggles to come to terms with the twisted truths in the dark history of her home and the power behind the church. Through well-chosen voices and a steady narrative pace, Colette excels at establishing a brooding world of religious intrigue even as Immanuelle struggles to shine the light of truth on Bethel's tightly held secrets.
