WINTER MASQUERADE

by Kevin Klehr

Narrated by: Joh Bolitho-Jones

Production by: NineStar Press

A Rich Fantasy!

We get to follow Ferris down the “rabbit hole” only it’s a magically enchanted cruise ship sailing on a chocolate sea filled with white chocolate dolphins, rainbows in the sky, no violent boyfriend, and the person he needs the most is missing.  In the midst of the famed winter ball, Ferris must maneuver his way around the guests, find his way through the magic and not become distracted.  One thing Ferris remembers, is Saturdays are the best day to fall in love and NEVER EVER on a Wednesday.

The author, Kevin Klehr magically transports his listeners into this new world with vivid descriptions, rich characters, and a writing style that draws his audience deeply into the story. I found the story to be well written although at first, I was confused but only because it was not what I expected.  This is a story reminiscent to Alice in Wonderland.  The similarity is reflected in some of the more absurd pieces but there is so much more to this story.  Such as, it is a rally around those who are victims and an exercise in seeing things for what they truly are and for people to take a step and move forward, do not remain trapped or a victim.

The narrator, Jon Bolitho-Jones gives an entertaining performance with unique voices for each character.  His cadence is steady and enthusiastic when needed, he portrays each character according to their role and personality.  He spoke clearly. I have not had the pleasure of hearing Bolitho-Jones before but hope to hear more performances.

Overall, this is an entertaining and captivating book with a fantasy-based storyline and plot twists that one can enjoy.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done.
