City of Magic Series, Book 1

De: Helen Harper

Charley is a cleaner by day and a professional gambler by night. She might be haunted by her tragic past but she's never thought of herself as anything or anyone special. Until, that is, things start to go terribly wrong all across the city of Manchester. Between plagues of rats, firestorms, and the gleaming blue eyes of a sexy Scottish werewolf, she might just have landed herself in the middle of a magical apocalypse. She might also be the only person who has the ability to bring order to an utterly chaotic new world.

I could not instant some of the words Ruth Urquhart said. And needed to go back and forth to understand what was being said

What was the point

Of killing the little brother? I found that aspect of the story to be troubling and unnecessary.

Still mid-listen but I’m kinda enjoying it!

It’s early days in the story (which is pretty interesting so far), but WHAT ON EARTH IS UP WITH BLUE HAIR FIXATION? As if color one’s hair any color is an indicator of intelligence? Is this dude from the 1950’s or something?

I mean seriously, it takes a considerable lack of intellect, emotional and otherwise, to believe this kind of insult is ACTUALLY insulting, much less acceptable in any way. Insulting a woman based on her her body and clothing is the quickest way to become ignored in my book, as those types of insults are not worth acknowledgment, much less a response..

As a woman who has had blue hair on and off during her life, I can say only 1 person ever insulted it. Yes it was a white man (I mean, who else should go there?).

Otherwise, the story is pretty interesting. My husband (from Oz) is laughing at the Bunyip and Vegemite obsession (he finds it a little trite).

I’ll update here once the story is done!
