Billie Fulford-Brown and Raphael Corkhill return to narrate the second installment in the Foody/Herman fantasy duology, ALL OF US VILLAINS. Picking up where they left off, Fulford-Brown performs the chapters told by Briony and Isobel with a tight vocal timbre, while Corkhill handles those of Alistair and Gavin with a feverish intensity. Together, they skillfully imbue this story with plenty of heart and a few moments of tenderness. Fulford-Brown carefully mixes fragility into both young women as they plot to end the ancient tournament of survival, casting spells and curses to crush the sacrificial legacy. Corkhill enlivens their two power-hungry male opponents, who roar with anger and mistrust each time alliances shift or break down. A fitting conclusion to this dark fantasy.
