Edged Blade

Kit Colbana is a half-human, half-demon private investigator operating in a world where shapeshifters, witches, and vampires navigate an uneasy coexistence. In the fourth installment of the Colbana Files series, Kit has spent the past year painstakingly reconstructing her life and her sense of self. When her best friend Justin arrives with a desperate plea, she cannot refuse: supernatural beings are vanishing across the community, and the conspiracy behind the disappearances runs deeper and darker than either of them anticipates.

Maxine Mitchell brings Kit's voice to life with a gritty resilience that matches the character's hard-won recovery arc. Her performance navigates the tonal shifts between vulnerability and action with confidence, keeping the nearly ten-hour runtime moving at a brisk pace. The urban fantasy format rewards the audio treatment particularly well here, as the layered world-building and ensemble cast of supernatural factions benefit from Mitchell's ability to differentiate characters while maintaining narrative momentum throughout.
