Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom of Blunder—she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic. When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure Blunder from the dark magic infecting it.

The Narrator Ruined It
Reviewed: 10-16-24
As an audiobook connoisseur, the narrator is hands-down the worst I’ve ever heard. I barely made it through and will not be listening to the second. I will read it on kindle instead. Mispronunciation of the word “hearth”, over-emphasis on every “T” (example: nighTmare), and limited skill with creating male voices (every supposed man sounded like a pre-pubescent boy) made this an unsatisfying listening experience.
Was the book good? I’m undecided. I think I’ll read it again, sans audio.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend to someone who had elementary school kids. I think it's fun for that age group and would definitely pique interest and imagination.
What other book might you compare Coby Collins to and why?
I would compare Coby Collins to the old Goosebumps books. Creepy and a tad scary in a harmless sort of way.
What about Brian Allard’s performance did you like?
Brian is very expressive and has a knack for doing the different voices which makes for a more rounded listening experience.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Teachers in disguise! (haha, Transformers...get it?)
Any additional comments?
