Splintered Magic

A Paranormal Women's Urban Fantasy Fiction Novel, Book 1

De: Jilleen Dolbeare

Narrado por: Veronica Giguere

Brigid Donovan is down on her luck. Her husband dumped her for the biggest stereotype around, his secretary, and her family mansion is a decaying wreck. All she wants is to get it restored, enjoy the peace and quiet of living in eight hundred acres of primordial forest, and rebuild her life.

Fate seems to be against her. First, her cat starts to speak to her. And what does he say? He's not what he seems to be—seriously? Like a talking cat is normal. He does tell her that she's the great-granddaughter of a fae lord, and very powerful. Only, that doesn't seem right. Where's her magic? Why didn't her family tell her?

Things aren't as picture perfect as they seem in her hometown of Kilchis, Oregon. In fact, they haven't been for a long time. For one thing, her restoration team is a pack of werewolves, and her new bestie is a witch. What's going on? Brigid has to find out fast or she could lose it all—her mind, her magic, and her life.

Good story!

I enjoyed this story. The narrator does a good job telling the story. I would like to see the characters again.

Great Story and Great Characters!

I love this! I just love going along with the character as they figure out their powers. This one does exactly that! This is full of wonderful characters as well as some great paranormals. I just enjoyed every second of this story.

I listened to this on audio. Veronica Giguere does an amazing job. She is new to me and I enjoyed her vocals. I look forward to more!

Great introduction to the series

This is the first book in the Splintered Magic Series, a Paranormal Women's Urban Fantasy Fiction Novel. This is a great introduction to the series. The characters are well developed. I loved Brigid, Gabe, and Mr. Mittens (the cat). The plot is captivating. The storyline is intriguing, entertaining, and fast-paced, filled with humor, intrigue and twists and turns. The world building is interesting. Veronica Giguere did a great job bringing this story to life. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I am looking forward to listening to Splintered Veil, the next book in the series. #PFPAudio

It was okay

It was okay. Kinda of a teen feel in places. Ending was not necessarily a cliff hanger but leaves way too many questions

Fun, mysterious, engaging, and addictive

This is one of the best paranormal women’s fiction books that I’ve ever read, and it’s perfectly narrated in every way. The narrator Veronica Giguere is so amazing at male voices that I could have sworn it was a duet narration. This is Book 1 of a series with a continuing storyline and one heroine name Brigid. The plot is similar to urban fantasy but with the newly divorced 42-year-old Brigid figuring out her new magic. So far the steam level is very mild with just kissing.
Brigid is relatable and lovable, and so is her cool telepathic cat! The setting at an old Victorian mansion in Oregon is beautiful and atmospheric. I love the mysteries, the action, and the intriguing minor characters. This author is wonderful at world-building, and I can’t wait to start the next book in this awesome new series. I totally recommend this book to all fans of paranormal women’s fiction and paranormal cozy mysteries.
I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #NorthernLakeAudio

Splintered Magic

Are you for reals. You just had to end the story like, do you know how mean that is. know I have to wait for the next book. So not cool, I need to know what happens next, I have to know more. you totally suck me into this new world 🌎 of magic and I loved every bit of it, and the narrator did such an amazing job too. you guys are going to love this book, well I know I did 😊.

Loved this!!

I really enjoyed this one and I am thrilled there is a second book! Now, Bridgetts.... naiveness did kind of drive me crazy. Come on, you weren't even friends with the girl and your going to trust her?? And the construction workers??? Oh, lord. But all characters have their flaws, or the book would be no fun. The narrator did an amazing job. Easy to tell the difference in characters. I also LOVED Mr. Mittens. I'm not even a cat person but he was totally cool. The world building and ending were my two favorite parts. I can't wait to listen to book two!!!!

A Fascinating & Enjoyable Story & Listen🎧

I enjoyed this book immensely, it is a fascinating start to a new paranormal fantasy series featuring a variety of supernatural beings, shifters, witches and fae, all living amongst ordinary humans. Brigid Donovan thought she was one of those ordinary humans, but she turns out to be anything but one. Her husband left her for his secretary and after the divorce was finalized, she moved back to her hometown, Kimchis, Oregon, and into her family mansion, which needed a lot of work. She had contractors, Craig Whalen’s company, start the renovations before she arrived, but it was still a work in progress when she moved in. Strange things start to occur, but she shrugs them off at first, thinking she was tired, and when they got too much, she called to make an appointment with the local doctor. The doctor turns out to be someone she knows very well, Gabe Ambrose, her first. Gabe gives her a somewhat reasonable explanation for all the odd things going on, and she takes it all in and goes with it. He recommended speaking to one of the local witches to get a better idea of the magic surrounding her, another high school acquaintance, Sophia. Brigid's circumstances become even more complicated when someone is trying to take what is rightfully hers, and with Mr. Mittens, her familiar, she will get those responsible and set things right. But can they? This first book of the series lays down the foundation for what lies ahead, the world building is fantastic, as are the character growth and development. This intriguing and cleverly plotted story captivated my attention the entire time. I am looking forward to what happens next for Brigid and her allies.

🎧📚🎧 And for fantastic narration, Veronica Giguere performs the voices for all the characters, does a great job covering both the male and female roles, giving each their own unique voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. She had a complete understanding of the characters she portrayed and was believable in every role she played. She set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. This versatile voice artist is entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to.

Mr. Mittens is the best!

I can’t wait for the next one! Bright feather and mr. Mittens are the best ❤️
