2025 Audiofile Earphones Award for The Summer War by Naomi Novik (Penguin Random House) - "Narrator Ella Lynch demonstrates her expansive gifts throughout this novel, giving unique and distinct voices to all its characters. Her scintillating delivery reflects Celia and her magical world. Of particular note are Lynch's smooth transitions from female to male voices, each completely natural and believable... Lynch uses tone, pacing, and excellent acting to build suspense... This short but powerful story is a testament to the adage that good things come in small packages."

2025 Audiofile Review for The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott (Tantor) - "Lynch's breathy feminine voice supports the main character's cheery outlook, while elderly secondary characters are given room to gasp their lines. Lynch's extended end-of-sentence pauses allow listeners to absorb the dense world- building throughout the story, while her overall energetic pace smoothly maneuvers through dry interspersed textbook passages."

2025 Audiofile Review for Rose in Chains by Julie Soto (Hachette) - "Ella Lynch delivers an outstanding performance; her voice work is engaging and emotionally rich.

Lynch masters the rhythm of the slow burn and handles tension, heartbreak, and resilience with finesse. Her performance enhances the entire experience, making it more vivid and emotionally powerful."

2023 Audiofile Earphones Award for Alchemy of a Blackbird by Claire McMillan (Simon and Schuster) - "Six narrators add unique layers to this well-researched novel featuring Surrealist artist Remedios Varo, a refugee who is fleeing Europe during WWII.  The narrators adopt the native accents of the various expatriate painters and art collectors who make up the novel. The overall effect of the Tarot card readings, myriad perspectives, and accents, along with Reluzco's rendering of Remedios, is positively entrancing."
