Publisher's summary

USA Today best-selling author Taylor Aston White brings you this complete dark urban fantasy series.

An amateur witch. A dark past. A fierce deceit.

Paladin Agent Alice Skye didn’t think much of the contract forced upon her by Rexley Wild, Alpha of one of the largest packs in Europe.

He hired her for one job.

Find the missing wolf.

Unfortunately for Alice, she might already be too late.

She's in way over her head, an inexperienced witch who has to use all her instincts to help the secretive and detached Alpha find his missing pack mate. But it isn’t long before she realizes something’s not quite right. It wasn't a missing person–it was something a lot closer to home. Something that reignites nightmares that make her question her own horrific past.

Alice is in a race against time that forces her to face against vampires, daemons, and anything that gets in the way, for she only has one thing to do–find the wolf before he turns up like the others.

Dead.

Unexpected twists, dark secrets and nail-biting action that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Alice Skye is the exciting new urban fantasy series by Taylor Aston White. Follow Alice as she battles her nightmares in the modern world of magic.

Witch’s Sorrow

I’m conflicted on how to write this review. This book was, in turn, intriguing and beyond irritating. Our FMC, Alice, was supposed to be part of a group that assisted when magic users were breaking laws? I think? And, for someone who professed to be quite skilled at her job, she was pretty much clueless about every single aspect of this book. She felt like a puppet being led along on a string, reacting to everything, and never figuring shit out until it was too late. She was maddening.

And yet, I love her best friend Sam and their beautiful found family dynamic. I loved reading an urban fantasy novel set in London because I haven’t really read many of those, if any. I’m interested in learning more about Riley. I want to know if Alice is going to turn into a powerful badass, or if she will continue to be swept along cluelessly by the plots of others.

I am going to continue to book two to see if the slightly disjointed story flows better and if this book just suffers from first book in series syndrome.

And finally, I overall enjoyed the narrators performance but I am quite perplexed by her choice to voice Alice as a combination of Snow White and Hayley Mills’ interpretation of Pollyanna. Her weirdly childlike high pitched voice dropping f bombs was disconcerting, I must say. And yet, despite my occasional confusion and the clumsy scene changes, and Alice’s intensely grating voice, I am moving onward to book two. Here’s hoping…

Falsetto tones -audio awful

Narrator has no desirable qualities for me. Female heroine has no vocabulary apparently except curse words-and not of the arcane variety.

It’s a good story

I’m a little disappointed. I really enjoyed the story but I just do not like the narration. Hannah does an ok job, she’s not terrible. But her male voices omg she sounds like a robot. And it’s the same voice for every single male except the French vampire! The voice for the FMC is also high pitch which just gives me a headache. I purchased boom 1 and 2 but unfortunately I just can’t take it.

dim witted protagonist

I liked the story though the protagonist with both how intellectually mundane and how comfortablly bellicose in her ignorance made her difficult to like. That said I do believe that if the author follows any reasonable route in the character's development this could be a fun light jaunt to follow. I'll read books two and three at least. i conjecture that the young teen audience will like it -- I skipped all the gratuitous sex and cursing where reasonable resulting in a genuinely more pleasant experience.

Clueless protagonist that fits the TSTL stereotype

Is the point of this story supposed to have a Too Stupid To Live protagonist? I’m always so confused by this type of character. Like You are an author that can write ANYTHING you want, literally it’s your own damn world with your own damn characters, yet you write your main character as a dimwitted Mary Jane that’s Uber powerful, but never knows how to use their powers??? It also didn’t help to have the narrator narrate her character in a weirdly high pitch voice that made her sound so clueless about EVERYTHING. Where everything sentence out her mouth ends in a question because she never knows what’s going on around her. And yet you want me to believe this same girl is a bounty hunter?? WITH POWERFUL UBER RARE MAGIC?? Annd even though she’s all that and more, somehow always gets herself almost dead until some man can save her???

I’m guessing this was written early 2000’s because these types of books were a dime a dozen. It really does read like a Karen Chance novel, and boy do I reeeeallly dislike Karen Chance novels and her stupid female main characters. Pretty sure that’s where TSTL started.

Alice fits perfectly into this stupid stereotype that should be dead and gone by now but not. Where our TSTL main character always somehow wins or gets the bad guy but not without some crazy stuff happening that nobody believes and almost always dying or getting gravely injured but don’t worry! Every single man in her vicinity wants to not only save her but wants to get in her panties for some weird reason that I never understood seeing how they always have a personality of a broken useless doorknob. But I guess those manly man’s like the damsel types so I guess that makes sense.

But Anyways, yay this story sucked.
