About this listen

Paige Winterbourne is a witch. Not that you'd notice - no warts, no green skin, no cute little wiggle of the nose whenever she casts a spell. No, most of the time she's just a normal 23-year-old girl; works too hard, worries about her weight, wonders if she'll ever find a boyfriend. Okay, so she does have an adopted teenage daughter, Savannah, who wants to raise her black witch of a mother from the dead. And who is being stalked by a telekinetic half-demon and an all-powerful cabal of sorcerers. But other than that, Paige has a really ordinary life. That is, until the neighbours find out who she is, and all hell breaks loose. Literally…

I'm biased, because I've read this book so many times already, but it's always just as good!

I didn't like the narrator because she made Savannah sound like a 3 year old instead of a teenager, and Lucas sounded like a hoarse old lady. Although I will say that she did a real good Paige, and anywhere that wasn't characters, her voice is soothing and she has a talent to make you feel what the author has written. If the situation is dire, she makes it clear. Skillful narrator, but voice-wise not for me when it comes to the characters.

The story itself is for lack of a better word, awesome!
Suspenseful and intriguing, first time I read this series I just had to continue with the next book, and the next asap because it's just so good. The only remark I have is the ending. Not because it's bad, but it's very abrupt. Allt this stuff happens and then it's over and the last 8 minutes of the story is the "what happens next"-part. It should have been longer, a little more detailed.

This is book 3 in the Otherworld series and so not a good place to start.

Unfortunately at the time of writing this Audible UK doesnt have books 1 and 2 - which are in my view better books. Our main characters Paige and Savannah are introduced in book 2 along one one of the main villains, Leah, so you may be a bit lost without the background ( either read them or find the Audio recordings which do exist elsewhere)

The story is basically a good one, but Paige is a really frustrating character making a succession of really stupid decisions which go just as badly as you already predicted.
It makes the book a bit of an annoying listen at times and I wish Kelley had found a slightly better way to get her into some of the situations she found herself in. Savannah makes some dumb choices as well but there are much easier to accept for a 13 year old teenager.

Narration is OK but not perfect - the book moves the story on nicely though as mentioned in other reviews the ending is a bit sudden. It looks like the story continues in the next book - which I will be downloading.

If you liked books 1 and 2 its worth continuing but I missed Elana who barely features in this book and is a much better lead character

Decent but Frustrating

I have owned the book for age's & really enjoyed it so thought I'd get the audiobook as well sadly 😥 I didn't play the sample if I had I'd have left it because the narration is absolutely awful for Savannah's voice drove me crazy whining & high pitched 🤪👎 The storyline is great some of the character's are good just the narrator could of been so much better LUV 💙 the author Sad wasted a credit should of stuck with the written version of this 📖

KAZ🇬🇧😃 Good but narrator's awful 😞

took me a bit to get in but then I was pulled in, became involved and invested.

A startlingly abrupt end though

interesting

There wasn’t anything about the main character that I actually liked, which is obviously a huge stumbling block for any book. She just bumbles around life not having a clue what she’s doing and making stupid decisions. Then on top of that, there’s no chemistry between the two main characters. I just about managed to listen to the whole book but nearly gave up so many times.

Real struggle to finish
