THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN WORLDS

In this locked-room fantasy, Moira Quirk's vocal confidence and captivating talent are on full display. Just two months after giving birth, the famous Hound Guildmember Kembral Thorne attends a New Year's Eve party. But what's supposed to be a gathering of various public officials and guilds quickly becomes a bloodbath. Violent creatures come out of nowhere to kill guests and magically restart time, thrusting everyone into subsequent layers of reality, each more violent and bizarre than the last. Kembral and her nemesis, Rika Nonesuch, must determine what's restarting the party again and again before the deaths become permanent. Because of Quirk's vocal expertise, each partygoer is deftly crafted into a unique and richly realized player in the night's mystery. It's a true master class in narration. A.A.H.
