    Behind the Mic: On Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon, Read by Shiromi Arseri and Jason Carpenter

    by Behind the Mic Apr 17, 2020 1 minute

    Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

    Narrators Shiromi Arserio and Jason Carpenter are perfectly matched in this modern-day fairy tale with a forbidden romance. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this delightful start to a new series by Sandhya Menon that relocates Beauty and the Beast to the Colorado mountains. Princess Jaya is a new student on a mission to avenge her younger sister and is unexpectedly drawn to her target — the brooding Grey Emerson, son of a rival family. Together, Arserio and Carpenter bring this story of a cursed love to life.
