Just not into paranormal
Reviewed: 02-27-17
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was alright! Leighann Dobbs is a great writer, but the paranormal thing is just a bit much for me. I would read other books if there were not the spells etc.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Good plot, the hunt, kept me to the end
Which character – as performed by Hollis McCarthy – was your favorite?
She did great differentiating between the sisters' characters
Was Spell Found worth the listening time?
yes
