ON THE WINGS OF LA NOCHE

How can we let go of the one we loved and lost? That's the central question that Frankie Corzo so expertly poses in her enthralling narration of this YA fantasy-romance. By day, Estrella "Noche" Villanueva is a 17-year-old who is mourning the death of her first love, Dante. But by night, Noche transforms into a Lechuza, a beautiful black owl who guides spirits to the sky. Refusing to say goodbye to Dante's spirit, Noche slowly becomes untethered from her sense of self. And having been assigned an attractive new lab partner isn't helping. As in so many of her performances, Corzo's narration superbly balances the ethereal and the real. It's a perfect mix for this story of loss and grief and knowing when and how to let go. A.A.H. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
