Dispelled

Null for Hire Series, Book 1

De: Terri L. Austin

Narrado por: Hollie Jackson

They call me an abomination. A mutant. A curse on their kind. I don't let it bother me. Much.

My name is Holly James, and what they say is true. I'm a freak of nature - a null. My mere presence saps the magic from others, rendering them powerless. That's why they hate me. But here's the kicker: I've found a way to profit from my lack of mojo.

Whether it's acting as a mystical wet blanket in a dispute between pyromancers or keeping hormonal shifters from changing during a sweet 16 party, I provide a highly specialized service. For a hefty fee.

When a young witch turns up dead, clutching an amulet cursed with black magic, my estranged grandfather asks for my help. In return for nullifying the necklace, Gramps promises to find my missing mother - a witch who vanished after my birth. Of course there's a catch. He wants me to assist Cade McAllister, the arrogant sorcerer in charge of investigating the case.

Cade resents my existence, let alone my attempts to help. Still, I'll do whatever it takes to find my mom. For my own peace of mind I have to know what happened to her, and I won't allow anything to get in my way.

Laughed out loud funny!

I love the humor of the writing, it really did it for me. the narator also did an amazing job. I enjoyed it.

A strong B

An old story line made new. I like that this null is not well loved and a fighter.

Love that it kept me guessing

I really enjoyed this book. It’s an easy listen but not to easy to know who done it.

colorless style

She reads in a matter of fact way, so imagine the teacher (Ben Stein) frm Ferris Bueller reading a steamy sex scene & that's how she narrates. 1 point in her favor, she does try 2 change up her voice 4 the various characters.

That she was weak

That she doesn’t have powers to fight back. She only think about other people and not herself
