About this audiobook

“Eunice Wong's narration is clear, well paced, and emotionally balanced...This is a thoughtful, slow-burning novel with a narration that complements the complexity of the plot.” — AudioFile

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities, and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential.


Where there’s a will, there’s a war.


Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne.

Or at least, so they like to think.

Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You're welcome! If only her father's fortune wasn't her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud.

Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father’s approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around.

Eilidh, once the world's most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father’s company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth—by confirming she'd been his favorite all along.

On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins—but which Wren will come out on top?

GIFTED & TALENTED was exactly the book I didn’t know I needed at exactly the right time! I normally dislike lots of drama and the whole rich-people-behaving-badly thing. But in Olivie Blake’s hands, these tropes are shattered and rebuilt into something else entirely. She sprinkled her magic dust everywhere, creating a unique, funny, heartwarming, memorable story that touches on acceptance, the true essence of happiness, and living up to expectations (other people’s and our own). I loved the way the snarky dialogue and the dry humor was mixed with revelatory moments of reflection. The fabulous Eunice Wong narrates, and I was fully engaged and entertained throughout. *Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the free audiobook download.*

Entertaining book, characters are self involved and not particularly likeable, but well written and fleshed out.
