VALIANT LADIES

Narrators Almarie Guerra and Frankie Corzo deliver this dual- perspective audiobook inspired by Latinx teenagers from the seventeenth century. With poise and precision, Guerra voices Kiki. Freshly engaged to the son of a powerful family, she has a bright future ahead. Former street kid Ana, who is adopted into Kiki's family, is portrayed by Corzo with unrestrained, sometimes brazen, emotion. As the two friends skillfully tackle the bustling crime of Peru by night, their burgeoning romantic feelings for each other can barely be contained. After Kiki's brother dies under suspicious circumstances, nothing will stop the pair from uncovering what happened. Guerra and Corzo's careful pacing will keep listeners on edge and swooning in equal measure. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
