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.

Katie Leung's Scottish accent immediately immerses listeners in the Scottish Highlands in this sapphic vampire audiobook. Rebecca, a vampire hunter, goes undercover at a vampire university to find the Book of Blood and Roses, a compilation of ways to kill vampires. After being attacked, her gorgeous vampire roommate rescues her but accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar in the process. Finding the book could break the familiar curse, but their new proximity heats things up along the way. Leung easily switches between accents and tones to enliven a large cast of students, and her precise pacing adds delightful tension to romantic scenes. Leung's Scottish accent and precise pacing elevate this vampire romance.
