About this listen

Life begins at 40 - but so do bad joints, wrinkles, and gray hairs.

They say that by the age of 40 you should have gained the skills and experience to have a better life.

But the only thing I've gained is a job promotion to permanent desk jockey until retirement. I thought I escaped my mediocre destiny when I met my husband...until he died on our honeymoon and a series of unfortunate events left me with a strange mark on my body and my husband's corpse stolen right out of the funeral home!

When I discover a mysterious invitation to a place called the Vale Estates at my door from a long-lost grandmother I had never met. I was ready to toss it away as a scam until I read the words: Your husband's death was not an accident. Desperate for answers, I pack up and go.

But to discover the truth, I'm forced to live in a bizarre estate full of restless ghosts and a creepy goat-legged caretaker while enduring a trial of magic with death as a punishment for failure.

But I'm not a mage! Or at least, I thought.

I guess it's not too late to learn something new.

I like the story and characters, dialogue is good, main problem is the sound quality, the narrator seems to be lost at times, meaning I have to increase the volume to way above normal.

Interesting story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This wasn’t a terrible book but I found there was too much going on and lots of characters. I didn’t actually finish as I lost interest. Narrator was good.

Too many characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The progression was uncomfortably slow, however the plot is good when you get to it. The introduction of the dragon is brilliant. I hope he gets to do more good.

Give the woman a break!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I found the narrator’s attempt at different voices painful and she sounded like she had a blocked nose.
The story was all over the place and the characters over reactive and emotional.

Voice was irritating

The plot held my attention from start to finish. The characters are varied and interesting look forward to the rest of this series.
The narration is good.
