About this listen

A family secret catapults Rory into a magical library - and a new life she never knew she wanted.

Bookshop assistant Aurora "Rory" Hawthorn thinks reality will never be as interesting as fiction. Content to spend her time escaping into a good book to escape her micromanaging boss, the very last thing she expects is to be cornered by a group of terrifying strangers hunting down a journal that belonged to her late father.

It turns out Dad was keeping a secret or two...most importantly, that he was a wizard, and that Rory has a hidden magical family she's never met. When her witchy relatives invite her to live with them in their enchanted library, it's literally a dream come true.

Until she stumbles upon a dead body hidden behind a bookshelf.

Juggling a new family and job would be enough of a challenge without also having to deal with a murder mystery, cranky familiars, and the attention of the local reaper - even if he is the hottest guy in town.

It's up to Rory to embrace her new witchy powers to help catch a killer before she loses the new life she never knew she wanted.

This box set contains the first three books in the Library Witch Mysteries series:

  1. Spells and Shelves
  2. Charms and Chapters
  3. Sorcery and Stories

The stories were just ok. None of them standout. I really disliked how one cousin behaved as she acted like a 13 year old and that was discordant coming from a young adult woman. The vocal performance was poor and you have to listen for the attribution tags to know who’s talking.

Just okay

The narrator does a great job overall BUT the main character (who is 20ish) sounds like an older women. This is odd because the narrator does a perfect younger voice for the 20ish year old cousin in the story. If you can get passed the older voice for a younger character issue, the story great.

The characters are well developed and the story is enjoyable. I love the way story is centered around the library. I purchased Books 1-3 as a bundle and could not stop listening. I like it so much I purchased the next bundle 4-6 as soon as it said, "Thanks for listening".

Easy listen. A Clean Cozy with no profanity.

Well writen and narrated in a voice that is vaguely of Sally Fields. I am probably showing my age with that comment but we are never too old for entertaining magicall paranormal fun and this series has those in spades. RECOMMENDED SERIES, AUTHOR AND NARRATOR.

LOVE THIS SO MUCH I AM GOING TO BUY BOX SET 2.

While the first book started slow by the end I was hooked. The next two books held me captivated and wanting more.

This is a refreshing series with lots of interesting characters. I would love to live in or visit this library. The narrator's voice definitely brings the characters to life.

Wonderful series

I really enjoyed the first 3 books that I have listened to. They are addictive

The Story

I adore Elle Adams. I find her books perfectly cozy and charming. But even the best books can be broken by the wrong narrator.

I had to go to other books narrated by Ms. McCarthy to see if this was her actual voice and usual cadences - it’s not. Why she chose to make the protagonist - who is supposed to be 25yo - sound like a 70yo school marm I have no clue, but I the narration is totally disturbing. Also, she barely differentiates voices of the varying female characters.

I will try and listen to all the books in this bundle, but not sure I’ll get through it. But I cannot imagine getting further books in this series, as much as I like the story. The only positive thing I can say about this choice of narration is that at least it isn’t “virtual voice”.

So sad about this

My opinion might be different if these books were read by someone other the the one chosen to read them. She made it so hard to stay with it. I skipped chapters to hurry to the end. I also tried to return the books and couldn’t.

I don’t usually write reviews

The narrator reads with an air of pretension with a posh manner as if reading a Shakespearean soliloquy not a novel.

Horrible narrator
