The Cauldron Stirred

Guardians of Erin, Book 1

By: Judith Sterling

Narrated by: Jenny Beesley

Ashling Donoghue never dreamed that moving to Ireland would rock her perception of reality and plunge her into a mystery that brings legend to life.

At 17, she’s never had a boyfriend, but she feels an immediate connection to Aengus Breasal, the son of a wealthy Irishman, who’s invited her family to stay at his Killarney Estate. For the first time in her life, a guy she likes seems attracted to her.

But Aengus is secretive, with good reason. He and his family are the Tuatha Dé Danann - ageless, mythical guardians adept at shifting between this reality and the magical dimension known as the Otherworld. Evil forces from that world threaten the Breasals, the Donoghues, and all of Ireland. Ashling must open her heart, face her fears, and embrace a destiny greater than she could ever have imagined.

Love in Ireland

Excellent Audiobook.

I liked this book from beginning to end. There were several twists and turns, which added to the listening experience. I am looking forward to the next book of this series. I recommend this book. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." "I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.”

Great Tale

Interesting story! I love the old myths and legends of Ireland. This story is about a family who goes on a working holiday to Ireland for different purposes. One for a centuries old manuscript and one to write a book and do supernatural ghost hunting. They have 4 children 2 girls and twin boys, this particular story is about the oldest girl who has quite a gift. Her gift starts to develop as they leave for Ireland and gets more pronounced the longer, she is there. The end of the story will blow your mind and make you a little sad. The narrator did an ok job, I wish she would have distinguished between the voices more. But over all she kept me interested throughout the story. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

I received a free copy of this audio book from Story Origin for an honest review.

Magical YA Suspense

I was fortunate to win the ebooks in this series and I was also given a complimentary copy of the audiobooks as well. I am happy to voluntarily provide an unbiased review for this first book in the series. This was an outstanding, magical story with enchanting characters and a marvellous storyline that kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I am not usually drawn to this genre, however I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and am anxious to begin the next one to see what happens next. I thought the narrator did a splendid job with all the voices and kept my interest throughout.
