About this listen
Wendy doesn't mean to kill Dina, the energy therapy practitioner who recruited her to an allergy study. She's not even sure how it happened. How could something as silly as hand waving and hypnotism turn Wendy's skin from empathic to lethal? Better yet, how can she change it back? She has a brother to take care of; earning a little extra money was not supposed to ruin her life this way.
Refusing to live forever in fear of physical contact, Wendy goes straight to the source: the company whose strange energy practices caused her dramatic transformation. Did they mean to make her a weapon? Or was it a mistake? She quickly learns that she is not alone; uncanny supernatural abilities are real. Gabe and Kaylen, whom she befriends at the bizarre camp of super-humans, suspect that Wendy was targeted for a specific reason, and it has nothing to do with her death touch.

A beautiful story beautifully read by Cherami Leigh and Todd Haberkorn.
Colorworld is an amazing and beautiful story, written by Rachel E. Kelly. This review is for part 1 of the Colorworld series; specifically, the audiobook read by the incredibly talented Cherami Leigh and Todd Haberkorn. This review is spoiler-free, with the exception of character names and information from the synopsis.
The audiobook tells the first part of the story of Wendy, a 19-year old college student with peculiar empathic powers that allow her to sense emotions through skin contact. She is struggling to support both herself and her younger brother, Ezra, and decides to participate in an allergy study to earn more cash. However, the study does not go as expected. She wakes up to find someone dead, and learns that it was her skin that caused it. We follow Wendy as she struggles to understand what has happened to her, how to cope with living around people when merely touching them could kill, and whether or not the changes to her powers can be reversed.
The story is filled with endearing characters and wonderful, tender moments that brought a smile to my face every time. The interactions between characters are engaging, natural, and believable - Wendy and Ezra in particular feel very realistic as siblings, both in their cheeky yet loving behaviour towards each other and in their dialogue. The vivid descriptions of the world, and of people’s emotions, thoughts and senses, immerse you fully, in part due to the excellent writing on Rachel’s part, and also owing to the beautiful delivery on the part of the two readers.
The narration and voices for female characters are provided by the amazing Cherami Leigh. Cherami’s beautiful reading is powerfully delivered, full of passion and evocative of emotion. She breathes unique life into every character she voices, from Wendy herself, to the adorable teenager Kaylen, and to the mysterious Louise, among many others. She perfectly captures the struggles Wendy faces, and draws you into her enchanting world.
Similar praise can be given for the male voices, read by the wonderful Todd Haberkorn. The chemistry between the characters, particularly between Wendy, Ezra, and Gabe, feels so organic and real, and the dialogue is delivered seamlessly and naturally. Both Cherami and Todd are able to give very distinct qualities to the voices of each of their characters, so it is easy enough to recognise one from another.
The audio quality is great, very clear and clean on both the Amazon Echo Dot and an iPad (with or without headphones).
I would thoroughly recommend this audiobook to anybody. Fans of the sci-fi genre, or of romance, may enjoy it in particular. Fans of Cherami and Todd will be impressed by what I believe to be some of their best work ever (delivering such powerful, emotional and passionate dialogue believably without any visual aid at all, is a challenge many audiobook readers seem to struggle to overcome, but in this case it seems so natural). But I believe there is something in this wonderful story for all audiences. I encourage you to give it a try, and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have.
