Ollie Wit is the strongest Shadow Walker born in decades, but it's a gift with a steep price. Walking in the Shadowlands can bring untold powers and spells, and even greater risks. Every step into that other world brings her closer to the monsters that have haunted her since a child, destroyed her family and wreaked havoc all around her. Kane knows Ollie is the key to getting the spell he needs and he's the answer to ending her torment. But it's a bargain that brings her closer to her own destruction. Even if she succeeds, will she be able to walk away from the newfound power that comes with walking in the Shadowlands?

Donna Augustine can always be counted on for an addictive story. I was a little put off by the narrator at the beginning of the audio book. It felt a little flat. But I enjoyed the rest of the book very much.

Great story!

The synopsis for this story drew me in. It fit into my paranormal realm that I love.

When I first started this story I did not know what to expect. The narrator made it very hard for me to get into it. She made Ollie sound very annoying and whiney. I did not know if that was how she was supposed to portray her but that is how she ended up. Even the other characters sounded annoying.

As I got pass the narration I appreciated the little nuances she brought to the characters. If Ollie was supposed to yawn she did and made me know that she was truly tired without stating so.

When I got into it I loved the characters and the story. Ollie has been through so much and all she wanted was answers. Ollie did not get all of the answers she was looking for. However, she gained a mismatched family.

The entire story explored the world she is involved in. I wished that we got to see more of the world. There was so much going on that I felt a bit cheated that it was just glossed over. For instance, we know that Kane is an Anchor but what does that really mean? Also I would love to know who Butch and Kane were referencing.

I am committed to this series and I really hope that it does not disappoint.

I love the story, but this narrator is awful. I already returned Donna's audible books "The Wilds" which were narrated by this same lady. Too bad I didn't realize it was the same narrator when I bought this series. Way to ruin a good story.

I have read and listened to this series 3 or 4 times. It never gets old. The character development is amazing and plot keeps you turning the page through the whole series.

I enjoyed the story and was entertained throughout the book. Only complaint is I didn’t like some of the narrators choices for some of the characters. But overall a great listen. I was given a free copy for an honest review.

Great story

Loved this audio book from start to finish. The story line was amazing and the characters were great. Narrator also did a wonderful job bringing it to life.

Loved it!

They cast spells, they do magic, but not the way we usually expect. It's a good story full of sexual tension, cliff hangers, humor, and good old fashioned explosions.

I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Not your typical magic wielding story

A Step into the Dark
Ollie Wit, Book 1
By: Donna Augustine
Narrated by: Angel Clark
I saw this author's book on freeaudiblecodes and nabbed it, I love her books but I didn't check the narrator. I should have! I encountered her narration on freeaudiblecodes before. Ugh!
The book itself has a good premise and it was interesting but it was difficult to concentrate on the story with the whiny, cartoon like voices. As the narrator was describing the action or narrating the scene her voice was fine but when it came to dialogue it was headache inducing!
The plot to the story was a little weak and seemed to just stop and I hate cliffhangers. I did like the gargoyles!
I want to try book two but I will read it with an ebook! I have read other books from this author and this may be a fluke or just my not being able to concentrate.

Poor narrative but good story!

I loved this book! It was so unusual and exciting. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I felt so bad for Ollie at times. And then that ending just made me crazy. I'm now going to go search for the next book :)

Wow! In search of the next book
