A CHORUS RISES A Song Below Water, Book 2

Narrator Eboni Flowers creates the perfect voice for the charismatic Naema in this thoughtful story meshing magic and media. When influencer Naema takes the blame for outing a Siren and a Gorgon in her high school, she lays low for the summer with her extended family and learns more about her heritage. Meanwhile, a group of disgruntled fans decides to defend her reputation by any means necessary. Flowers blends charm, self-regard, and growing wisdom to provide listeners with access to the layers of Naema's complex personality. Cherise Boothe capably narrates the social media and traditional media posts that are intertwined with the main storyline. She uses increasingly harsh tones to express the escalation of baseless speculation and threatening behavior. N.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
