Annabel Lee by Mike Nappa
(Book 1)
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Modern Detective
Voice: First Person, Southern, Young Girl
“The narrator, Romy Nordlinger, does a fabulous job portraying the voice of a young girl, complete with accent, as well as voicing a variety of male and female characters with nuance and emotion. If you can get a copy of the audiobook, listening will be a treat.”
"Narrator Romy Nordlinger's animated voice captures a variety of compelling characters in this unusual mystery, whose title alludes to Edgar Allan Poe's poem of the same name. Nordlinger's accomplished portrayals capture the story's main characters: a frightened 11-year old named Annabel Lee; her mysterious uncle, Truck; a Special Forces sniper called "Mute"; and private investigators Trudi Coffey and Samuel Hill. Giving the principals appropriate age and character traits, Nordlinger uses emphatic enunciation to create dramatic tension when Uncle Truck rushes the young girl to a military-style bunker deep underground, leaving a German shepherd that is trained to kill with her for protection. Nordlinger's ominous delivery of Uncle Truck's warning not to unlock the door for anyone-- even him--is chilling."

"Mine to Take is read by Romy Nordlinger and the narration is amazing. She really brings all the characters to life and knows how to use her tone to create more impression. Romy is one of the best narrators I have heard. She reminds me a lot of the narrator from the TV show Desperate Housewives. The way she gives each character their own voice kept the book easy to follow and kept me wanting more. I look forward to hearing more of her narration in the future. With the winning combination of author and narrator I highly recommend Mine to Take."
