Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Katherine Press delivers an outstanding performance in 'The Quickening,' her tone shifting seamlessly between sorrowful whispers and spine-tingling shrieks that make for a truly immersive experience. The narrative weaves seamlessly through the suffragette movement and spiritualism, crafting a rich tapestry of social commentary and supernatural suspense. However, some scenes felt slightly disjointed, disrupting the otherwise cohesive story. Despite this minor critique, 'The Quickening' remains an engaging and chilling listen that challenges listeners to confront the ghosts of their past.
