About this listen

Welcome to Spellbound, where paranormal is the new normal.

The only magic Emma Hart believes in is caffeine and the power of the dryer to lose one sock per load. A public interest lawyer buried under a mound of student debt, Emma's whole life has been one turn of bad luck after another.

Her streak seems to continue when she gets lost on the way to see a client in the remote Pocono Mountains. A chance encounter with a suicidal angel lands her in Spellbound, a town where supernaturals have been cursed to remain for centuries - probably not the best time for Emma to discover that she's actually a witch.

Between the recent murder of the town's public defender, a goblin accused of theft, remedial witch classes, and the attention of one smoking hot vampire, Emma struggles to navigate this unfamiliar terrain without losing her mind...or her life.

Good but

I really enjoyed the overall story. The plot was good. I liked there wasn’t a lot cussing in it. The only thing that bothered me was the phrase “I said” was used a lot. It seemed to break the flow of the story at times. Overall good though.

Just a cozy lil story to hang out with

I enjoy the "Cozy genre" because I listen while I'm doing something else at the same time.
Just an easy read

However, the narrator is a bit annoying. Nasal as the main character, annoyingly ditzy, valley girl, emo, squeaky etc for the others.

I've heard worse but it does get me to hit pause to take a break.

fun creative story

unfortunately the narrator (w help of the author) drove me crazy with every -i said- he said-"character" said... why can't it be smooth vs sounding like it was punched in?

great book

I immediately fell for this book. I've been in such a book rut lately, audio and reading, that this was such a nice surprise. The narrator was a bit nasally at first but it seemed like it got better with the books progression. Definitely will be listening to the next.

Cheesy but Fun

When I started this book, I did not have very high expectations. The characters came off a very rudimentary, one dimensional, and shallow. A lot of the writing seemed fairly straightforward and easy to follow. However, I definitely think the story hooks you by the end. I ended up finishing the whole series and found the cheesiness rather charming after a while. If you’re looking for a very witchy/Halloweenie aesthetic, this is the book for you. It felt a lot like Halloweentown come to life and set in a mystery. I mostly enjoyed this book for the vibes and supernatural descriptions. I would also say that the plot improves with each book. Yet, if you are looking for a complex or deep read this is definitely not the book for you.

More of a teen type

It was okay but more of a teen mentality vibe. ….The story and characters were more like high school or college I was expecting more depth

Plot felt rushed

I don’t think it was thought out well. Like it’s hard to focus on I like the idea but execution wasn’t all there

super cute

nice romantic fantasy... dare I say cozy romantic fantasy? It reminded me of Kristin Painter's writing, though not quite at the same level. The narrator's voice was mildly annoying but glad I continued. I am continuing with the series.

Good story

I liked the storyline but I the narrator sounded like a bored cashier. The voices for the other characters were slightly better. Overall it would have been better if I had read it myself.
