Witchling

Otherworld, Book 1

By: Yasmine Galenorn

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

We're the D'Artigo sisters: Half-human, half-Faerie, we are savvy - and sexy - operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who is still trying to get the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Camille - a wicked-good witch. Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather, which my enemies are about to find out the hard way.

At the Wayfarer Inn, a portal to Otherworld and the local hangout for humans and beasties alike, a fellow operative, Jocko, has been murdered. Every clue points to Shadow Wing, the soul-munching, badass leader of the Subterranean Realms. He has made it clear that he aims to raze humankind to the ground. Our assignment: Keep Shadow Wing and his minions from creeping into Earth via the Wayfarer. The demons figure they're in like Flynn. After all, with only my bumbling sisters and me standi g in the way, how can they miss? But we've got a secret for them: Faulty wiring or not, nobody kicks ass like the D'Artigo girls.

Critic reviews

"The first in an engrossing new series...a whimsical reminder of fantasy's importance in everyday life... Galenorn's gallery of rogues is an imaginative delight." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A wicked, witty read. I couldn't put it down." (Candace Havens, author of Charmed & Dangerous)

Shallow

This book had a promising concept and I am sorry the author took it in this direction. I do not think I will be purchasing the other novels in the series. It seemed like she was more focused on describing the panties the characters were wearing rather than developing the story and keeping the reader interested.

luv it

this book is great I loved every minute of can wait to get so many more

Really its 3.5 Stars

I read the reviews on this book so I was a bit skeptical. The story line is gripping, and I do want to see what happens in the next book. With that said this books writing is a bit choppy, at one moment the author is poetic and then whip lashes into the drama. The reader, while she has a very pretty voice, some what sing song, she reads very dreamily even in the action scenes, which is a bit off putting. I hope this helps.

This was a fantastic book!!!

This is a great begining to a hopefully equally great series. The narrator did a saw some job with all the different characters and it was hard to, as they say, put the book down. If your a sci-fi/fantasy or paranormal fan you will love this book. It reminds me of the Sookie series.

otherworld, book 1 witchling

Good book with lots of potential!! Good story line with lots of action and magical fun. Great characters that you really feel like you could be friends with. But I did not really care for the narrator.
