My name is Winter Wayne, and I'm a Bone witch - minus the magic.

I used to work in the only place in Manhattan that had use for a witch with very little magic - like me - until my boss kicked me out over a job gone bad (not my fault, I swear). Pure boredom and the lack of company got to my head fast. I was so desperate, I took a delivery job from a complete stranger. It was supposed to be an easy job, clean and simple. It was anything but.

Now, there's a price on my head, and my own coworkers are hunting me down. My mad fighting skills alone aren't going to be enough to keep me alive. Looks like the time has come to dig out my mother's bones and complete the ritual that will finally ignite the magic in my bones - if I even make it that far.

She never wanted me to be part of the paranormal world, but she made sure I was prepared for it anyway. I'm finally about to find out why.

This is just a really good storyline with a great main character it also has a degree of racism in it that many of characters deal with as it relates to another group. Another thing I personally like about this book though it is just my personal opinion, is that a witch is a witch no matter if they are female or male. I say this because many years ago in a college speech class I learned that a warlock is not a male witch, it is someone who breaks their word. I'm glad that this book does not do that with the characters who happen to be male witches. At any rate this is an engaging story that is well worth the buy.

Enjoyable

I was recommended this book and I'm definitely enjoying the main character. So far I wouldn't call it a page turner that I can't put down, but I am definitely invested in the characters enough to keep going.
SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD....


I really wish the main character would have had more of a love connection with Julian, but she is having a hard enough time coming to terms with her own identity and past biased against fairies. The End gives me hope that at least she is starting to accept her own half breed status.

Good start

I’m really surprised this book got some bad reviews. I loved it! I loved the world building and the drama and everything. Winter was a badass! And the surprises were just perfect. Elise Arsenault was a great narrator. I’ll be continuing the series!

Wow!

This book is a steaming pile of shit. The main character is a whinny child. This book hurt me to read. Ok the good. Well there was some parts that were just not terrible winter was strong woman in a action book. She stop being a racist ass hat, and she didn’t get raped or have such things threaten. That’s it, the rest was crap.

English is the 3rd language of the author. It is a massacre of the English language. The idea is not bad but the execution there off is horrible. The idioms used are terribly wrong. The use of “little” to refer to the adult heroine and every villain is the the expressions a child would use not an adult.
Most of the continuous inner monologue of the heroine is teenage angst. Kill me now. The narration sounds like chainsaw. Change the narrator!

A waste of a credit

winter wayne is a witch without magic, he magic is worn around her neck handed down in the bones from her great grandmother. She is running from the company she worked for, she doesn't want to be a witch but she might have to be. I thought it was boring and I"m not going to finish.

I've tried and tried but can't get past chapter 5

The story basis is great. I love urban fantasy and the parts I heard sounded good. Unfortunately, the result is weak. There are a lot of typos in the book. One that kept coming up was a spell that would stop your enemy attacking for half a second. Half a second? That doesn't sound like much. Much later on, the spell is actually used and then it lasts for half a minute. Names were confused a few times.

The heroine is supposed to be in her mid-20s and a serious fighter/assassin. Those fight scenes were the only good parts of the book, because then she didn't talk. Emotionally she came across as a middle schooler going through puberty, with lots of repetitive whining and screaming and tantrums over things that an adult would suck up and deal with.

The narrator was okay, but she put way too much emphasis on enunciating clearly. That's not a good choice when narrating a book. People don't talk like that, unless they're giving a lecture and trying to be completely, lingually clear on a given point.

Obviously, these books are popular enough, and everyone has their comfort food reads. My comfort food reads are probably not yours.

So Many Typos; So Much Enunciation

Title says it all. This was a dull listen. There was nothing terrible about it, just nothing very interesting. This is a perfect example of a good concept with poor execution. It was impossible for me to care about any of the characters, including the protagonist. None of the scenes that were supposed to feel climactic actually felt climactic. This book lacks setup and payoff. The narrator doesn’t help; she sounds almost choppy. The best thing about this book is that it was free.

Dull.
