DARKLIGHT

Actress and author Lesley Livingston provides an energetic narration of her sequel to WONDROUS STRANGE. Kelley Winslow is a teen actress who discovers she’s actually a Faerie princess. Portrayed as a surprisingly normal teenager, she’s as worried about her relationship with changeling Sonny Flannery as she is about the world of the Fair Folk, which includes her interfering mother, Queen Mabh. While this is Kelley's story, Livingston especially shines in the voicings of the supporting characters. The patient, calm tone of the noble Faeries’ speech is a welcome respite from Kelley's hurried pace. And Sonny’s Irish lilt is an engaging presence amid the danger the pair faces as they make their way in the Otherworld. E.N. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
