Narrator Barbara Rosenblat returns to Harmony, a planet populated with people from Earth who have developed different psychic abilities. Joshua Knight was a navigator on a lost expedition that Molly Griffin's sister was a part of. Molly tracks him down in an abandoned mansion filled with mirrors in order to secure his help finding her missing sister. Rosenblat projects the eerie feeling given off by the house. She captures all of Molly's determination to get Joshua's assistance. As Molly and Joshua grow closer, Rosenblat's tone reflects the lively banter between the two. Her repertoire of voices enlivens characters ranging from Molly's two moms to Joshua's creepy boss. All of them add to the listening experience.

This monster romance follows Anna, a museum worker whose life changes when Frey, a cursed gargoyle warrior, comes to life and claims her as his fated mate. As they navigate the clash between her modern life and his ancient instincts, danger, mystery, and a powerful curse unfold around them. Narrated by Emma Wilder, the distinct character voices feel natural and consistent, uplifting the story and making it easy to connect with both Anna’s vulnerability and Frey's intensity. Wilder’s emotional delivery is rich and nuanced, capturing quiet, intimate moments as well as high-stakes tension. Dialogue flows smoothly with a conversational rhythm, and the chemistry feels palpable. Wilder’s subtle tonal shifts and strong control of pacing keep the story engaging.

by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland ; read by Elena Rey ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 13, 2026
Still, fans of the series will want to hear this final installment.
Elena Rey narrates the final audiobook in the Wild Magic trilogy. After spending seven years as a spirit, Sky’s family rescues her. Two years later, the youngest Flores sister is an outcast, bullied by most of her small town. When her neighbor’s grandson Adam moves back to town, she negotiates a fake friendship with him to help rehabilitate her image. As Adam accepts Sky’s magic, their friendship turns into something real, and Sky learns to accept his love. Rey captures Sky’s emotions as she struggles with her place in the world. While she gives all the characters distinct voices, Rey’s tone for Sky tends to sound whiny.
