SOMETHING WITCHY THIS WAY COMES Jolie Wilkins, Book 5

The Queen of the Underworld has her hands full in the fifth book of the Jolie Wilkins series as she learns more about her heritage and contends with the battle brewing between her people and the Lurkers. Allyson Ryan, who also narrated the other books in this series, provides an energetic and well-paced portrayal of Jolie. Ryan uses a variety of voices to convey the supporting characters, especially the magical ones—from the Scottish brogue of the King of the Fey and the crisp British accent of warlock Rand Balfour to the harsh American accent of Jolie’s long-lost sister and the sweet, breathier tone of Jolie’s advisor, Matilda. Ryan deftly follows the evolving story through its revelations and twists, providing a satisfying narration. E.N. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
