About this listen

A witch. Her guardian. A stolen magic....

Witch song controls nature - everything from the changing of the season to the storms. So when drought chokes the land and Brusenna and her mother's little farm isn't affected, the villagers distrust of witches hardens into hatred. But Brusenna has far more to fear than the villagers. When the witch hunters penetrate Brusenna's protected forest, she learns an impossible truth.

She is the last witch.

The other witches' powerful magic has been stolen and twisted to a dark purpose by a terrible evil. An evil that has now turned it's gaze on the only person left who can stop it: Brusenna.

The witch hunters are closing in.

Nowhere is safe. Not even her handsome guardian can protect Brusenna. And if the evil that stole the magic claims Brusenna, it will become unstoppable.

Does Brusenna have the courage to fight for a world that hates her?

If you love the romance, magic, and adventure in books like The Black Witch and Truthwitch, you'll adore Witch Song. With nearly 1,400 five-star ratings on Goodreads, you don't want to miss this bewitching listen that will keep you up all night. Order your copy today!

Stolen Songs!

I wonder sometimes if all these readers that write and give such bad reviews really should STOP reading and take up LISTENING to the stories because I never understand how they can give a story such poor ratings. I honestly think they need to hear the story and let it come to life and I think they'll all change their minds. I'm just not sure about them at all. Anyway, I don't go into details about any story that I've listened to because it just ruins it for others. Author Amber Argyle did a fantastic job with writing this story. It was adventurous, dangerous, and mesmerizing and that's all anyone really needs to know. Don't like reading the story then stop and get the audiobook, it's so much better anyway. What else can I say about it or tell you?

Melisssa Reizian Frank did a fantasic job! She made this story believable and I had no trouble with distinguishing each characters accents and voices throughout the story. I thought she breathed life into this story and she had me engrossed from start to finish. Overall, A perfect 5 star rating from me!

A Good Sci Fi Fantasy About Witches

I enjoyed listening to WITCH SONG. It was a different take on this genre which I especially liked. The characters were good and the world well-built. I loved the setting and Brusenna. She was such a great character. I like the uniqueness of the Witches as well. AMBER ARGYLE writes a good story and I'll look forward to book 2 in this series. I love stories about witches and this was a super take on it.

MELISSA REIZIAN FRANK did an overall great job narrating this story. I had to get used to her as she's a new voice talent for me, but once I did, I loved her vocal range in this. She was the perfect reader for this book. Very enjoyable!

Magical Adventure to Restore the Natural Balance

Any additional comments?

Witch Song is an extremely entertaining debut novel written by Amber Argyle. This is the first book in the Witch Song series where the title itself describes how a witch’s magic manifests itself through song. The stronger the witch’s song, the more powerful she is. I really loved how old Celtic mysticism was woven into the story with the Creators giving witches control over the four elements - air, water, fire and earth - to help all living things work in harmony with each other.

At its core, it is a story of good verses evil. The evil is represented by Witch Hunters who work for the Dark Witch and her quest for world domination. The good is represented by Brusenna, who was raised in isolation away from other witches and knows very little of how witch song controls the seasons and weather to keep a healthy balance in the world. By the time the Witch Hunters come for Brusenna, she is the last of the good witches and the world is dying. The rest of the story is about Senna’s adventure to restore the natural balance and her slow maturation into adulthood.

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Melissa Reizian Frank who did a great job. Melissa’s narration is natural and easy to listen to, which really enhanced my enjoyment of this audiobook. I highly recommend Witch Song!

Torn about this one

Overall this was a decent listen. I enjoyed to plot, but sometimes it required more than the normal suspension of reality, it got a little extreme in a couple of places. I thought the characters could have been developed a bit more, I found it hard to care about any of them, but the story line was enjoyable, and could have been great with some people you care about in there. I would recommend it for younger teens, except for some of the violence. It is hard to say what age group the author was targeting. The narrator did a great job, and though it isn't something I will listen to again, I don't consider it a waste of time.

Unique and good

This book was given to me by the author/narrator for free for an honest and unbiased review

This is a unique and amazing story about witches, nature and Brusenna (a child) being kept in the dark by her mother about her uniqueness until someone shows up and and makes Brusenna question everything. Sometimes I felt the narrator was lagging but overall she did a great job.
I am excited to move on to the next in the series and read the prequel to this as well. There's not much more I can say that others haven't said in the other reviews. Is it worth a credit - yes most definitely!
I would recommend this book to my friends.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

embark on a journey to save the world

Read with precision and voices to match characters, the narration is crisp enough to overcome car noise. And that is important, because you won't want to miss a word of this engrossing story.

Miss Argyle has created a world in which witches control the seasons and nature, assisting with the coming of the fall and winter and spring and summer, aiding in the growing of plants. But nature has gone awry. The seas lack winds to propel the boats, and should they set out, the thick fogs blanket all. As witches disappear from all the lands, Brusenna finds herself alone, untrained, and angry that she has been lied to her entire life. Join her as she sets out on a trek to save her mother and, perhaps, her entire world.

Not quite as seamless as the commercials would have you believe, none the less the audible system worked very well going back and forth between book and narration, laptop and phone. In fact, for large stretches when I wasn't otherwise occupied, I was able to enjoy reading along with the narration. but when I was busy in the kitchen or feeding the cats I could listen and follow the story beautifully. And this story definitely made me want to keep listening to find out what would happen next.

Great Teen & YA Paranormal Adventure

The author did an amazing job creating a unique world where witches have very important roles.

Brusenna has been sheltered by her mom and not taught about the witch's way. Her mom tried to keep her ignorant from the danger that looms but unfortunately all her mom did was leaving her untrained and vulnerable.

Witch hunters are after Brusenna because she is the last one. Brusenna must scape the Hunters and find Haven then she must succeed against the Dark Witch. She must succeed where all have failed.

Along her way she meets Joshen! He becomes her guardian. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. She is so brave and tries to do everything on her own. Good thing Joshen doesn't give up easy!

Witches use their songs to control plants & wind. They need their voices and songs to cast spells.

There were some pretty stressful situations where her foes almost defeated her but she kept pushing forward. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this tale!

There are a lot of great characters in this book. This audiobook was hard to put down because I wanted to see what happened next!

The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life.

This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

Slow start

This story took awhile to get into, and several times I kept wishing it was over. The book on a whole was ok, but I had a hard time getting into the narrators voice. It was way too mature for the voice of a 16 year old girl. I'm not sure I'll be getting the other books in this series. I'm sorry Amber Argyle, I really wanted to love it.

Such a unique Witch story.

Any additional comments?

I've had this book, both on my shelf and on my kindle, for quite a while so when I got the chance to listen to the audio I jumped at it!

Brusenna lives with her mother deep in the woods. She knows what everyone calls her and knows that they fear her. She thinks she is nothing special and keeps to herself. Her life is quite sheltered, until another witch comes calling. Brusenna finds out exactly what it means to be a witch!

I loved Brusenna!! She is quite timid at the start but she finally finds the strength she needs to be who she is supposed to be. Senna knows next to nothing about Witches and has to learn as she goes but that doesn't stop her. She goes into the lions den knowing that she may not come out alive. She was so brave.

We then have Joshen, who is Sennas guardian and steadfast companion throughout. He was another amazing character. I loved seeing Joshen and Sennas relationship grow. It was so sweet.

There is a whole lot of characters in Witch Song and each was extremely well written and developed. Senna especially grew a lot throughout the story. We even get the bad guys POV at times, which added to the story.

Plot wise, it was fast paced and gripping. The world building and lore was fascinating and I loved the authors spin she put on the Witches. The Witches sing songs to cast their spells so there is no magic wands!! I loved that unique concept. The Witches can sing to the wind, earth, fire etc and there are songs to heal and pretty much do everything which Senna needs to learn because she can only do the basics.

Once I started listening to this, it was so hard to stop. The author grabbed me from the very first page and weaved a wonderful tale around me. From it's amazing characters to its beautifully written world, Witch Song is a must read. It's a magically captivating world and one I can't wait to jump back into!

I listened to the audio and loved it. Melissa Reizian Frank did a great job of bringing Senna to life. She really knows how to grab the reader. I will definitely be checking out more by her.
