THE AFTER HOURS

This sweeping time-travel fantasy is both innovative and moving, and Suzanne Freeman gives it a terrific narration. Her voices are distinct and clear, and she deftly delivers realistic female and male voices. Sloane Becker is haunted by events that took place on graduation night. When she discovers she has the ability to travel through time, she keeps being swept back to that same night, which causes time conflicts and endangers her life. Freeman helps listeners keep the timeframes straight--although the emotions portrayed have minimal variety. Still, the story is mesmerizing, and Freeman's portrayal of Sloane's complicated abilities will keep the listener engaged and intrigued. C.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
