About this listen

A spellbinding novel of bloodlines, self-discovery, and redemption by the author of the Washington Post bestseller The Vine Witch.

Abandoned as a child in turn-of-the-century Paris, Yvette Lenoir has longed to uncover the secrets of her magical heritage and tap her suppressed powers. But what brave and resourceful Yvette has done to survive the streets has made her a fugitive. With a price on her head, she clings to a memento from her past - what she believes to be a grimoire inherited from the mother she never knew. To unlock the secrets of her past, Yvette trusts in one woman to help solve the arcane riddles among its charmed pages.

Elena Boureanu is the vine witch of Château Renard, noted for its renowned wines. Even as she struggles with her own bloodline - and its poisonous threat to her future - Elena can't ignore a friend on the run. Joined by a cunning thief, the proprietor of an enchanted-curio shop, and a bewitching black cat, Elena and Yvette are determined to decode Yvette's mysterious keepsake. But what restless magic will be unleashed? And what are Yvette and Elena willing to risk to become the witches they were destined to be?

The Glamourist is the second book in the Vine Witch series. It follows Elena on her endeavor to reclaim her title as a Vine Witch. It was so much fun going back to this world of witchery after reading the first book.

We really got to focus our attention on Yvette and her life in this book. She is such an interesting character that was developed in the first book when Elena met her and Sidra in prison; tying their lives together. It was quite a journey hearing about and exploring Yvette’s amazing story of who her parents were. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention Monsieur Whiskers, her trusty feline that followed her all over the place. He was always at the right place at the right time with coins to share if needed.

Marion, Jean-Paul’s mother and Elena’s future mother-in-law, is not the uptight, snooty, rich lady we were introduced as. She knew more about the witch community than Jean-Paul could have imagined. I was really surprised by her character, the role she ended up playing in book 2.

I really should mention Henri as he does play an important role in the book. He was her childhood friend and partner in crime. He runs into her years later while she is on the run after her escape from prison. He is obviously interested in a new relationship with her. I won’t share more as it would give too much away.

The ending was perfect and not at all what I had expected. I loved the writing style and so well written that I thought it was better than The Vine Witch, book one. Can’t wait to get started on book 3. I wonder if book 3 will focus more on Sidra?

Bewitched and wonderful

This is a nice sequel to the Vine witch. The first vine witch, I simply grabbed every second. This one, not so much. Good plot but at times a tad slow.

I listened to this after Vine Witch. Sequels aren’t always great- this one is awesome! It’s compelling with lots of new characters and information. But also very much a continuation of Vine Witch. I was worried it was going to be predictable when the beginning started with another threat to the vineyard, but it wasn’t at all. Lots of twists and a very satisfying ending.

I prefer the Vine Witch, never really loving Yvette’s character. But the author does make it an interesting ending. It just goes somewhat slowly I felt. The narrator is amazing.
