A Witch's Path

Witch's Path Series, Book 2

By: N. E. Conneely

Narrated by: Jeff Hays

After a near death experience, Michelle has vowed to do her job, magical assistance for the police, and leave the heroics to someone else. Besides, life should be settling down for her since the trolls have been captured and the sorceress was neutralized. Unfortunately, the power behind the sorceress wants her dead, Elron starts acting funny, a magical creature wreaks havoc on a town, and there's trouble with the werewolves. As if that wasn't enough, the clans have started to notice her power and she has more reasons than ever to fear the clans.

Things go from bad to worse when Michelle's best friend is abducted, and she must decide between her friend and her vow to stay out of dangerous situations.

This book is a little weird

I like this series, but it's definitely a little weird.
Michelle seems very powerful at times, and oddly weak at other times. She runs out of energy very quickly. Her friends are weird too. A were-peahen? An octopus-shifter? A 2,000 year old elven boyfriend? A dinosaur golem? Actually, Rexy is the best part of book two. The worst is Tiffany, equal parts useless and demanding. I really liked the first book, and I liked this one enough that I will read the third book.

Great Story, Interesting Characters!

Overall, A Witch's Path was a great story, that moves at a steady pace. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Elron, his story definitely pulls on your heart strings.

Jeff Hays did a fantastic job narrating this story! I was very impressed with wide range of voices he could project. I especially loved the Gargoyles voice. In addition to the multiple voices, he did an amazing job with the different emotions throughout the story! His narration really enhanced the story.

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyable Listen

This is the first book in the series that I listened to and it was very enjoyable. The connection between the characters and the storyline. I will definitely be listening to the previous book in order to get the full story.
The story deals with a supernatural world and it makes you love it. Michelle, a witch, helps stop crime and looks out for magical things. And it also brings in romance. What more could you ask for.

Crafty world with a witch making her way in life

Would you listen to A Witch's Path again? Why?

Yes. I've enjoyed the vast world and story present, but the many characters that step on to the pages are given a voice of their own and Jeff is amazing at bringing them to life. The personality and voice of each character is a pleasure to hear.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Witch's Path?

There are a few... Her and Elron out together. When she meets her "pet" a T-rex. And when Elron comes to her rescue, but what they learn afterward too.

What about Jeff Hays’s performance did you like?

Jeff is talented with voices. (Which I found out are all him! Not synthesized.) All the different voices bring the story to life and makes it easy and fun to listen to. Jeff adds the emotion of delay in speaking words or that infliction can add, all what we do not get when reading. We hear the concern and worry in voice to go with the words on the page.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really enjoyed a moment with Michelle and Elron in which Elron points out how Michelle is surrounded with strong allies who will help her and help keep her safe. This was so true and a realization moment. She's a great character that everyone enjoys.

Any additional comments?

Michelle is an amazingly organized woman. It sounds like a lot is happening, which it is, but it's spread out through a few days and Michelle is great at setting things up around the emergency moments. I love that Michelle always keeps a level head and keeps moving forward. With this personality, all the crazy happening around her doesn't feel like it's crazy. She is also responsible and respects the proper ways. Michelle does her best to do as she's to do within the law. She then comes to a point that she can't wait any longer and has to act, but she knows very well what the consequences are and will accept them for her friends life.

I've enjoyed the calming ways of Michelle as she fights the evils and dangers of this world. It's a vast world of all sorts of beings and creatures and I look forward to listening to many more stories of Michelle and her adventures.

Better than the first

I don't want to spoil any of the plot that made this story so engaging for me. So I'll leave with saying that it carried fantastically well from the first book and really improved overall.

What I'll comment more on is Jeff Hay's narration. The quality of this recording somehow felt improved. But without changing the feel he brought to the first book. Two major moments of the narration that stood out to me are how it really sounds like someone is talking through a phone during scenes where that is exactly how they should sound. The second is how chills literally ran down from my ears when he first narrated the gargoyle. If I ever get the chance I'll have to ask how many voices he tried until getting the perfect one.
