I loved giving voice to Vivian Bookwormer, (who you can see glaring there on the far left) and helping to bring another fabulous graphic novel to life through audio!

Sunshine is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read in my life. It had me ugly-cry sobbing during my first read, but also smiling through to the end. Haven't read a graphic novel before? Read this one. It is truly a masterpiece.

2020 Audiofile Earphones Award
This book was very inspiring. So much so that I created my own Goddess from magazine clippings and mixed media, and it still hangs in my studio as a reminder of how special this book is to me.

"PATRICIA SANTOMASSO MAXIMIZES TERROR"
*Starred Audiobook Review*
"Enhanced by the skillful work of narrator Patricia Santomasso, every aspect of this story maximizes tension and terror. When Santomasso speaks as Kit, her breathy whisper might be because Kit is either being strangled by her own anxiety or, perhaps, it’s Daphne’s bare hands."
- James Gardner "Narrator Patricia Santomasso takes us to Italy in the 1960s... Santomasso gives each new character an authentic voice and accent...she's especially strong as the rift between Gabriella and Silvia's mother reveals long buried secrets. Original characters, romance, mysterious noises in a spooky old castle, all read with enthusiasm and intelligence, make this entertaining listening."
-S.J.H. AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine |
“Santomasso’s vocal qualities align seamlessly with the shifting alliances and intricately plotted tale. The clear differentiation between characters of various ages adds descriptive depth and suspense. Santomasso’s lush cadence brings clarity to a complex, action-packed, expansive fantasy environment. Hassan’s world-building story is perfect for middle-grade listeners and adults alike. A sure bet for fans of Xiran Jay Zhao, Roshani Chokshi, and Rick Riordan.”
- Booklist, August 2022 "Told from a vast cast of characters, this dystopia explores the cost of perfectionism and performative identities. The audiobook narrated by Patricia Santomasso and André Santana expertly gives voice to the large cast."
—Margaret Kingsbury - Buzzfeed Books |
There’s something beautifully chaotic about the fact that Whitney Gardner’s contemporary YA novel Chaotic Good hits the shelves as late as it can to still be considered a 2019 release. With an alliterative logline that promises to send “cosplay, comic shops and college applications” colliding, it should be obvious that the major selling points of Chaotic Good is all about fun and entertainment. For an end-of-2019 listen, that’s exactly what we want. That narrator Patricia Santomasso is on hand to bring Cameron’s feminist killjoy cosplay world to life with a warm-but-tart performance is icing on the cake.

Patricia is delightful to work with. She has a true skill for bringing my books to life—for taking characters straight off the page and giving them a voice. It takes true talent to be a genuine storyteller who beckons people to listen, and that’s what Patricia is—a storyteller. She’s also a great communicator, she always meets deadlines, and she’s extremely personable. You can’t go wrong using Patricia for your audiobook projects.
