Definitely not one of Nora Roberts best!

Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Joyce Bean?

I have several Nora Roberts book and several series so I know that she writes books that I enjoy.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was slow and boring.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

increased pace of the writing and reading. I didn't care about the characters or their troubles!

Entertaining

Would you listen to The Witching Hour again? Why?

It was a decent read. Not as gripping as some of her other books. A nice short read. The reader's voice kind of bugged me. I don't think I'd read it again.

What didn’t you like about Joyce Bean’s performance?

It was a little cheesy and her voice is rough on the ears.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Any additional comments?

Good book while commuting.

The Witching Hour

Always a good story from Nora Roberts. Just too short this time. Another good narrator.

not her best writing

I'm a Nora Roberts fan and the majority of them are really well written. this is one of those that is much less sophisticated in its writing. it sometimes sounded like a teenage romance.

WRITE A SERIES - PLEASE

Absolutely enjoyed this audible. I was hooked from start to finish. This would be a great series, let's hope it turns into one. Not a long listen, but story was full, not rushed and detailed. Narrator was great.

Story and performance moved me the place and time.

If you could sum up The Witching Hour in three words, what would they be?

Wonderful, moving, romance

What other book might you compare The Witching Hour to and why?

It's hard to compare to other authors because all of Nora Roberts books are great and beyond comparison.

Have you listened to any of Joyce Bean’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not sure but I wish she performed all audio stories.

Fun and Magical

Another fun book with a powerful woman at the helm. I love the literary change towards strong women heroes. Yes, it is a book that has been around a few years, just 13 really, and in the overall scope of things, a short time. It is a happy, light weight book that I much enjoyed, and perhaps that is where the magic comes in, through very real possibilities.

Nothing Special

Enjoyed Joyce Bean narration on the Jayne Castle (Jayne Ann Krentz) books which is way I purchased this story. Story just seemed to be missing something and I just could get connected to characters.
