Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the start with Eyre's gravelly voice perfectly capturing Sadie's tough exterior, slowly revealing the softness within. The chemistry between Sadie and Alex is palpable, their relationship evolving naturally, with all the awkwardness and beauty of real-life romance. Brooks' writing is vivid, painting a clear picture of the town's dynamics and the characters' internal struggles. My only critique is that some secondary characters could have been more fully developed. However, Dark Horse is a standout listen, offering a unique blend of grit and tenderness that will resonate with listeners seeking a fresh take on lesbian romance.
