Narrator Lisa Larsen captures the wonder of five strangers in New York City who receive mysterious invitations to the Fifth Avenue Story Society, held in an upscale library. Coral's elegant diction masks a painful broken engagement. Lexa's bold tones reflect her corporate ambitions. Ed is both a courtly retiree and a grieving widower. Chuck sports a noticeable New York accent and casual speaking style even as he rages over his custody battle. And Jett, about to publish his dissertation, sounds adrift as he questions his divorce from Lexa. Larsen switches seamlessly among characters with a calm, thoughtful narration. Christian themes emerge as each character's past unfolds. Overall, Larsen matches Hauck's charming conceit with a poised delivery. /Audiofile Magazine
Narrator Lisa Larsen brings to life a 29-year-old long-distance runner named Riley as she returns to the rural community where she grew up. Larsen's strong characterizations of the protagonists create both a likable and believable character in Riley, whose determination is not thwarted by her health issues. Larsen's narration injects just the right amount of petulance and anger into the hotheaded Ethan. Larsen uses spot-on pacing to build the tension as twists and red herrings keep listeners guessing. /Audiofile Magazine
Lisa Larsen's sturdy narration engages listeners from its opening line: "It was the best of times until it was the worst of times." In Brennan's fantasy send-up of A TALE OF TWO CITIES, Lucie Manette tells the story of Light New York and Dark New York, the one shining with the opulence of light magic and the other a place where people are "buried" in penury and fear. Larsen's aggressive delivery suits the ugliness of the political corruption and revenge that are at the heart of Brennan's tale before redemption takes place. Those familiar with Dickens's classic will admire what Brennan borrows from the original, but this love story with its magical world-building can be appreciated by anyone. /Audiofile Magazine

Larsen's phrasing radiates Tomasso's sizzling sexiness as well as his joy that he has found his lifemate. His alluring Italian accent and Abigail's intense responses will evoke thrills as they interact. The story is a seamless balance of passionate romance and high adventure in Larsen's capable hands. The couple's encounters in this erotic story will make listeners breathlessly await the next book in the series. /Audiofile Magazine
ABOUT
After earning a degree in musical theater...
and spending several years hustling on the business side of the film industry, I have found my way back to my first love: performing.
I narrate from my home studio in the foothills of Los Angeles, and as soon as the kids are off to school, I am in my cozy booth absorbed in bringing the words and worlds of authors to life.
When I’m not embodying the characters of strong heroines, feisty teenagers, cranky old men, or alluring vampires, I’m devoting time to my daughters, mucking up my kitchen baking healthy treats, riding my bike, or enjoying a DIY project with my husband.
