About This Audiobook

Ednah Walters wraps up her soul-reaper saga with a bold, supernatural flourish in *Goddess*, where Cora Jemison’s hard-won confidence cracks under the weight of destiny. No longer a fragile girl cringing from the dead, Cora now commands a terrifying—yet thrilling—gift: letting souls possess her to guide them home. But possession is a double-edged blade, and when Cora’s own darkest secrets rise with them, the line between guide and ghost blurs dangerously. Walters doesn’t just give us a love story between a girl and a supernatural being; she crafts a messy, magnetic romance where the cost of eternal love is paid in blood, betrayal, and the unanswered screams of the departed. The world-building oozes atmosphere, blending psych wards, gruesome rituals, and the intoxicating pull of a love that defies death itself. If you crave female-led fantasy that chews up clichés and spits out something raw, this won’t just satisfy—it’ll haunt you long after the last word fades.

Kelsey Osborne’s narration is the secret weapon here, her voice a chameleon that shifts from Cora’s fiery defiance to the eerie whisper of possessed souls without missing a beat. She nails the balance between urgency and gravitas, especially during high-stakes confrontations where Cora’s emotions threaten to tear her apart. But it’s in the quieter moments—where Cora’s vulnerability seeps through—that Osborne truly shines, her delivery so intimate you’ll feel like you’re eavesdropping on a private confession. The production enhances every gasp, every rustling sheet of paper in a haunted hospital wing, making it feel like the story’s happening in your headphones.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I came to *Goddess* expecting a typical YA paranormal romance, but Walters delivers something far grittier—a story where love isn’t just a force of destiny, but a weapon. Cora’s arc is the standout, a brutal journey from terrified patient to a woman wielding power like a switchblade. The romance with the soul reaper is electric, charged with a desperation that feels earned, not forced. My only gripe? The pacing stumbles in the final act, rushing through a few key revelations that deserve more weight. And while the possession scenes are deliciously creepy, I wish Walters had lingered in Cora’s psyche a bit longer—her internal monologue is sharp, but the book skims over moments that could’ve deepened her character even more. Osborne’s narration is a revelation. She doesn’t just read the words; she *lives* them. Her performance during the possession sequences is downright unsettling, her voice dropping into a hollow rasp that sends shivers down your spine. But it’s her portrayal of Cora’s exhaustion—the way her voice cracks under pressure—that sold me. The audiobook’s production is top-notch, too, with subtle sound design that makes you feel like you’re standing in a foggy graveyard at midnight. If you love YA with teeth, *Goddess* is a must-listen, even if it trips slightly at the finish line.
