Twilight Saga Series by Stephenie Meyer | Review

Dear Ilyana, Just want to say how much I admire the work you did with the Twilight Saga audiobooks. For years I never thought I would find another voice I admired as much as Jim Dale’s, but that has changed. I’m afraid I will have to buy my second set of cd’s soon as I’m wearing them out by listening to the series repeatedly! —Thank you from a devoted fan.

“Readers will thrill to Ilyana Kadushin’s elegant reading of “New Moon”…her performance captures the emotional upheaval of mortal Bella’s desperate love for Vampire Edward and the obstacles to their perilous reunion. Kadushin’s silvery feminine voice delivers the unfolding events with precise, consistent timing that showcases Meyer’s story without overwhelming it. Kadushin ably succeeds at creating an addictive listen..” — (Audio File Magazine)

Twilight Saga Series by Stephenie Meyer | Review

“Ilyana’s work as a narrator was intuitive and nuanced and her preparation was superlative. Not only did bringing Ilyana to the table please the high-profile author of this high-profile series and make me look good for bringing Ilyana in, but created a series of audiobooks that will stand the test of time as best-sellers and as great performance.” -Jacob Bronstein (Random House- Crown Publishing).

Twilight Saga Series by Stephenie Meyer | Review

“Twilight is narrated with great style by Ilyana Kadushin, who makes the infinitely romantic tale of star-crossed lovers resonate with a bitter sweet edge. – (Oxford Public Library)

"GLOW" by Amy Kathleen Ryan | Review

“In outer space, two spaceships are dueling for their own fates as well as the fate of New Earth. Likewise, dual narration brings drama to the adventures of the EMPYREAN and the NEW HORIZON. Matt Brown has excellent pacing in the narration of Kieran’s point of view…Kadushin is a great fit for the voice of Waverley, a strong, independent thinker who assumes the role of leader as the oldest girl aboard the EMPYREAN.” – AudioFile Magazine

"GLOW" by Amy Kathleen Ryan | Review

“Kadushin and Brown provide spellbinding narration… Ryan’s novel translates perfectly to audio with its combination of compelling characters and exciting edge-of-your-seat action scenes. Listeners will be unable to turn off this audiobook – whether they listen in the car, at home, or at work – because they need to find out what happens next.”

"All These thing I've Done" Series by Gabrielle Zevin | Review

“Ilyana Kadushin’s portrayal of Anya anchors this action-packed story. Allowing Anya to maintain an aura of calmness when faced with the escalating tension created by corruption, politics and crime. Kadushin vividly portrays the teen, a self-proclaimed ‘spawn of the unscrupulous mobsters,’ who strongly confronts the harsh realities of her perfidious family and their black-market dealings.” – Booklist
