About this listen

Mathilda Honeycutt, SuperWitch, Prophesied Savior of The World, has survived the first battle of the Supernatural War.

But before she can take a breath, she's deflecting spells from angry witches in her local Target, getting visits from the Federal Witches Agency, and even though she's wearing the perfect outfit, her meeting with the US government doesn't go too well.

What's a girl to do when she's got a war to plan, a world to save, and two gorgeous guys still in hot pursuit?

She gets on with it, accessorizing perfectly along the way. Even if she's deep in the dungeons of a vampire castle or visiting the faerie realm.

But Mathilda, her magical posse, and her hot guys, are racing against the clock.

The Dark Lord is rising, and they have to stop him.

Or the world as we know it will cease to exist.

Magical adventures!

I’m a long time Kristen Ashley fan but had never read the first Book in this series. Just finished both in two days and wow - what a treat. I absolutely loved Matilda. KA has such a way of bringing life her characters and building worlds where readers want to go and stay! This two book series was no different. Yes it’s magical but Kristen Ashley has a way of creating a believable universe regardless of the genre. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Great follow up

My full review for both books can be found on the Mathilda, Superwitch (Mathilda's Book of Shadows 1) by Kristen Ashley page. But the gist of it is that I'm glad I took the time to listen!

Better than the first

I enjoyed the audible version of this book much more than reading it, as the narrator added so much enthusiasm and character tot he story. I liked "her" Mathilda MUCH more than the way Mathilda read in my head. This story also flowed much better for me than book one, and the triangle was thankfully resolved fairly early on.

The Rise of the Dark Lord

Book 2 is just as good if not better than the first. I loved the way it is written. We get deep and personal parts of Mathilda’s life in journal form. But we also get her everyday life.

The love triangle thing works itself out and I approve of the outcome. The twists and turns this book gives us really made me enjoy it all the more.

Mathilda might not have wanted the position she was put into but she really knows what she is talking about. How people stop and listen to her even if they don’t agree with everything she says. She makes a great ally.

I am kind of sad there are only 2 books, I want more.

Loved the narration Susannah always give each character a unique voice and it brings the story that much more I just loved it.

As fabulous as Book 1!

We're leaving the same review for Book 2 as we did for the first book since we finished the duology prior to writing any review. What we said for Book 1 still stands.

The heroine said “ack” a million-bazillion times! It’s the only part of the story that drove me nuts. The rest was absolutely brilliant!

There is a HUGE cast in this book, yet the story never gets confusing as to who is doing what or why. The narrator did a good job of keeping everyone straight so you could always tell who was 'speaking'.

The heroine got a few side-eyes from us when her love of fashion seemed to overrule her common sense, but the story always recovered. Thankfully! Lots of family, friends, action, suspense, magic and, yes, laughter. Great book, and great series!

A decent continuation of Book 1

My review of Book 1 of this duology carries over to this volume quite well. I have all the same comments and complaints. Mathilda is immature and a bit annoying (not as bad as Book 1 but I suspect that's because I got into the groove and slid right by much of the problematic stuff) and Ms. Jones is absolutely brilliant as she reads. Again, as it is simply the second half of a LARGE book, the narrative holds my interest enough that I actually didn't mind pressing on. Just as was true of the first volume, this book is not a favorite but I enjoyed it well enough and I am not at all sorry I delved into this series.
