About this listen

"All right then, human," Jack said, a smirk playing on his lips. "We accept your terms. But you should know, we don't have to take what is already ours. She will seek us out when she's ready."

The town of Nothing is haunted…

Or so its citizens believe. Sixteen-year-old Nelly is skeptical of the stories until one night she spots a strange light sneaking through the abandoned house on her family’s farm.

When she investigates, she finds … fairies.

Within hours of this discovery, Nelly's grandmother is catatonic, and the otherworldly trespassers are offering up a cure. But only at a terrible price. It turns out that Nelly is a rare find for the fae. And the shocking reason why is buried in a past only the dead can remember.

The Ghosts of Nothing is the first book in a fantasy series based on traditional fairy mythology. It's like a spooky version of Harry Potter, but with fairies. Perfect for fans of Holly Black's The Cruel Prince series, Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey or Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone.

To be honest when I first started listening I was a little bit disappointed because I was looking forward to the familiar voice from “the scary fairy godmother” however I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved the narrator! The story was very magical with going in between worlds and I loved learning a few new things from the fairy lore. I loved each character, especially the two mischievous fairies. I can’t wait for more in book two. Highly recommend giving this a listen if you love fairies and fantasy.

So happy to listen to this book from one of my favorite fairy creators. I loved the eerie lore and strangeness of the Otherworld. Would only love this more if it was narrated by the author!

Loved it!

This book was a wonderful world to get lost in and I can't wait for the next one! I have been listening to the others channel Scary Fairy Godmother on YouTube for a long time now and I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed her channel!

I'm going to need more books please!

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was very fascinating. It combined two of my interests faeries and the paranormal. It held my attention and made me wonder . I would love to listen/ read another book by this author. If the author makes this a book series I would love to read them. Her storytelling and knowledge of the fae is inspiring. I can tell she put a lot of thought into this story, I would gladly listen to her story again. I look forward to reading more of her work. The concepts and ideas she addresses both past and present resonated with me. I felt like I was apart of the Town of Nothing not just reading about it. The thoughts and feelings of the main character felt like I was looking or reading about a part of myself in different ways.

The story telling is captivating.

The Ghosts of Nothing is a tale filled with suspense, mystery and magic. An absolutely easy read/listen. The narrator was wonderful to listen to and brought another level to the story. This book is good for just about any age, save two words (H & B). The use of the many types of Fae made for quite an interesting story. I truly hope there is another book coming out, filled with the same characters. I HAVE to know what happens to a certain one! As I am trying my best not to give any spoilers, I will not name said character. The only thing I didn't like about the book was ... that it ended. Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen to this absolute gem. You're a queen amongst the fae Ms Walters. Long may our "Scary Fairy Godmother" reign. (find her on YouTube!)

Magically Refreshing!!!

Yes, the book is very well written and sucks you in from the start. But for me, what I loved more than anything else is how authentic the faeries are. They're cunning, capricious, loyal, full of antics and random hilarity, and delightfully real! I fell completely in love with them!

The Faeries are Delightful 😊
