Up, Pup and Away

Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery, Book 7

De: Jeannie Wycherley

Narrado por: David Winter

Toby's been building up quite a reputation for himself.

Well, he likes to think so.

It's therefore no surprise that when things go wrong for any of his canine friends, he’s called in to help them out. But this time, it’s Toby who needs assistance.

The Pointy Woman is back and our talented spellbound hound has a bone to pick with her!

The problem is, first he has to find a way to get to her. Cue a helpful fox, a plucky hedgehog, a "bithycle" made for one, a balloon ride never to be forgotten and the usual shenanigans.

But when the fun and games are over, it’s time to get serious.

Deadly serious.

All the latest magick and mystery from your favourite Spellbound Hound.

Toby's adventures are best listened to in order, although they can be heard as standalones.

Excellent narration

This was my favorite book of the series so far. The narrator brought the story to life. Toby and Sal are fun as roommates. When Toby goes in search of his nemesis, he finds being a hounded, even a Spellbound Hound, does not make distance travel any easier. A delightful story that had a satisfying conclusion and excellent narration.

Toby the Spellbound hound vows vengeance!

Toby faces his most personal and important case tracking his arch nemesis and bringing her to justice. In the previous book, Toby thinks he sighted the Pointy woman at a dog show. Now he has visions and is fixated on finding her. Clarissa is helping with research in some ancient texts, but Toby strikes out on his own you locate the Pointy woman’s home. With the assistance of some new forest friends and new (to Toby) modes of transportation, Toby finally finds her. Toby also befriends an old man in the park, but can’t decide if he is really a friend or foe. This is the most life threatening adventure for Toby and his friends. It is also the most heart clenching and tear jerking book. I loved it! The characters are so well developed and grow and mature over the course of the series. Toby and Clarissa are so well suited and I enjoy how they interact. Perhaps Clarissa’s boyfriend DC Ed will learn Toby-speak too. The narration is outstanding. His performance brings the characters and story to life.

A Formidable Foe

I enjoyed this story as much as the others in the series. I felt for Toby as he worked through the events which helped him to recognize his old foe. I understood how Toby's suspicions started to affect his emotions and his perceptions. I appreciated the moments of humor which lightened some of the heavier themes in the tale. I liked Toby's newest companions: the fox and the hedgehog. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I was entertained by David Winter's narration as his performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Old and new friends

This book was filled with tons of old and new friends. Carissa, Detective Ed, The Pointy Woman, Sal, the rat, Toby, and new friends with the fox and hedgehog.

Toby and Sal were the duo that I never knew I needed. I am so happy to see that Sal was a main character in this book. His personality really got to shine through. When Sal snuck in when Carissa was taking a shower, so that he could clean up as well and Toby sniffed his paw and agreed that he did smell good was hilarious.

This book was a fun read as always. Looking forward to the next installment in this series.
