About this listen
Jenny is a professional ghostwriter in Los Angeles. She inherits a house, a cat, and a key from an aunt she has only met twice in her life. But the house, the cat, or the key are not what they appear to be.
Science and myth are turned upside down when Jenny is thrust into a conflict that goes far beyond any boundaries or limits she could ever imagine.

The narrator does an excellent job at bringing these characters to life with all of their nuisances and quirks. She weaves the the story and makes you feel like you are walking right next to Jenny, Tidbit and all the rest.
This is an excellent and clean story that you don't want to miss listening to.
Magically Awesome

The narration was clear in annunciations with professional vocal pressure.
I recommend this audiobook for ages 12 and older due to some mild violence. This really is a great story for those who wish to expand their understanding of an Adventure Story
I was given this audiobook for free and I freely give it my rating and opinion
Great Adventure!!!

This book is a solid 2.5 stars, but I have it 3 because it has a very interesting concept, a house that has portals to other places, a system alliance, aliens, futuristic tech and shape shifters. Unfortunately, it doesn't really develop these concepts fully and has flat characters with awkward dialog.
The story starts as the main character takes possession of a house willed to her by an unknown relative. I was hoping for there to be build up and mystery about the new house, the aunt she didn't know, and secrets in the house. However, the story pushes ahead like it's got someone shoving it forward from behind. There is almost a rush to get the story started, leaving no time for character development or world building. This turns out to be a theme through out the book.
At every turn, we are introduced to new characters, new planets and new races. However, none of these are developed. All the characters are 1 dimensional and wear their personalities on their sleeve. The races are almost all human looking and have almost no description, with the exception of a few which are just labeled as "dragon" or "unicorn" or something. The bad guys apparently can pass as human and never get much description, for example, nor are some of the allied races. The bad guys are bad the good guys are good and that's as complex as anyone in this book are.
The characters also speak in a completely unrealistic and awkward way. It's like they are in some 80's after school special, talking about how they support each other, and how everyone means so much to each of them, and how much enjoyment the bad guy will have doing bad things, etc. I admit I am not a world traveler. I've been around a bit of North America, meet people from the UK and Europe and Australia, but never been immersed in other earth cultures. However, I've still never meet anyone, ever, who talks like these characters. It is just so completely unnatural
This also feeds back into the 1 dimensional part of the characters, they are good and they only say and do good things. +++minor spoilers+++ early in the book the main character goes from being a rookie in training, to the boss of everyone. Not 1 of her fellow agents, her trainers or the council who she answers too, is upset, jealous, thinks she should be removed or not listened to. Instead they all give her pats on the back and tell her how much they love her, and how great she is and how wondrous they think she will be. And not once, but every character, all the way through the book. It becomes distracting, frankly, how sickenly sweet, and unnatural it is.
The plot is also very simple. A very a long story at almost 15 hours, but there are no twists and turns, it a mostly straight road with just a few gentle curves. It doesn't over complicate itself, it pads its length with mundane details of everyday life and conversations that either repeat themselves or drip with sentiment.
The plot, while simple, also has several holes, which I will cover in the spoilers section.
The voice narration by Krista Nicely is, like the book, OK. It doesn't stand out as great, but is not bad either. Her voice range is decent, but not super huge. Her male voices are not quite male but don't obviously sound like a woman doing male voices. I will say her voice of Lizzy sounds a lot like Angela Lansbury.
Overall, it's an OK book with a simple plot, simple characters, little world building, OK voice acting but a GREAT concept. I wish it was executed in a different way, not quality wise, but in structure.
I may continue with this series, but only time will tell.
*** spoilers ***
I think this book would have been better if it was written in a different form. I would have liked to see Jenny move into the house and spend time establishing her character, exploring her life and really showing she was a real person. Then over time, have the cat act more and more strange, have odd things happen in the house that she can't explain and generally develop a mystery about her aunt and the house. Of course, instead it was a chapter of her moving in and getting all the back story on the house and her aunt.
The plot itself has sever issues though, like the main enemy being her best friend. The best friend who apparently had 6 years to hang about on earth doing nothing, who had the guardian key in her hand, and put it on Jenny instead of pocketing it. A best friend who desperately wanted into a shed, but not only didn't try and convince Jenny to go in but also didn't try and dig under it, or bust a wall or anything.
Then there are the dimwitted enemy soldiers, who are specifically bred to be soldiers and nothing else. However, they freak out when bugs are around, and at the thought of alligators they panic and run like a herd of zebras at a watering hole. Even the slightly brighter officers send out commands to flee from the beasts.
Very much like the excuse in Dune, for why swords and knifes had to be used, this book goes out of its way to say no weapons can go through the portals, so they have to use hand to hand and staffs to fight. However, the main conflict is on earth, which has a lot of weapons on it. It makes little sense that they would not be training with firearms and using them. Of course when it comes to it, the soldiers use some sort of laser style weapons, which can go through the gates apparently, after all.
This is not a full list of plot holes, but the ones that bothered me the most.
An OK book with a great premise
