About This Audiobook
Set on the mystical grounds of Wild Hill at Long Island's edge, this contemporary fantasy follows three estranged women of the Duncan bloodline as they return to their ancestral home after years of separation. Brigid has channeled her supernatural abilities into Hollywood success, while her sister Phoebe practices folk healing on a remote Texas ranch, and Phoebe's daughter Sybil remains unaware of her magical heritage as she builds a culinary empire. When an ancient force summons them back to Wild Hill, the fractured family must confront both their painful shared history and a destiny that demands they unite their considerable powers against rising darkness.
January LaVoy delivers a masterful performance that brings distinct personality to each Duncan woman while maintaining the story's atmospheric tension. Her nuanced delivery captures the characters' complex relationships and regional backgrounds, seamlessly transitioning between intimate family moments and supernatural encounters. LaVoy's pacing allows the magical elements to unfold naturally, enhancing the story's blend of family drama and fantasy without overshadowing either aspect. The audio format particularly suits this multigenerational tale, as LaVoy's expressive narration helps listeners navigate the intricate family dynamics while fully immersing them in Wild Hill's enchanted landscape.
