Indy_Fan ,

Top Notch!

Actress Tanya Reynolds has a voice made for audiodramas, and she portrays Eliza so wonderfully. The story respectfully addresses some difficult subject matter without a heavy-handedness that could push away casual listeners. It’s accessible and thought-provoking. I would love to hear more from Eliza and her world!

Really Moving Show

I love this show so much. It's so well acted and produced and written, I'm just blown away.

Accesette ,

Chilling!

A great story of that hooked me!
