very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Entertaining

The story is an entertaining cozy mystery filled with characters. The narrator's mispronounciations were really distracting.

Need More!

loved this book, it was great and I need more. definitely will be looking for the sequel!

Fantasy mystery story

The story itself was great I really enjoyed it, the narrator on the other hand drove me nuts at times. I just didn't care for her for the most part. At times I felt like this was a children's book.

JB owns a failing investigators office. He is looking to prove his worth and also to make a name for himself that does involve the family. When someone steals Hekate's Chalice he is hired to find it.

The story involves Fairies, Demons, and magic. Hekate’s Chalice is the first volume of the Adept Solutions series. I would love to her more of this series but can't gt past the narrator. A different narrator would be awesome. I may have to read the rest of the series.

Funny

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. I listened to book 2 before this one and found it to be entertaining. This is a good, funny, short story. I found the narrator to be entertaining and background to the story. When you have the types of characters involved you find yourself laughing out loud several times. Well worth the credit.

Fun Story

I had fun listening to this little tale. the narration was well done and the story moved at a good pace.

Hekate's Chalice

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started listening to this book but the characters pulled me right in. JB takes over the business for his dad and everyone that works there has something "special" about them. I loved the characters, they are humorous and it has a great plot. If all of the books are like this one...the series is going to be a great read!

Good Story BUT way to short!!

I truly enjoyed this story , but found it Way to Short. I hope the balance of the series is much longer than this book. Narrator did a lovely job and made the story that much more enjoyable.

Easy listen, fun story

This is the second book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another. These books each have a complete mystery with a conclusion, but the overall characters and background story are what link the books as a series. Therefore, each can be read as a stand alone but are better rounded together. Nice, easy entertainment.

JB has taken on his father’s detective agency. JB is part elf on his mother’s side, demon on his father’s side and uses that to his advantage to try and return Hekate’s stolen chalice (she is the leader of a local coven of witches). He doesn’t work alone...among his coworkers are a sister and brother pair, and fairy who is working for him as part of her punishment. Their friendly animosity is entertaining.

This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Elisabeth Lagelee). She narrates with a slower cadence so I found I had to increase the speed to make it regular speaking speed. Despite this, she does very well narrating. She uses different voices for all the characters and adds personality to each one.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

A Good Story Worth Listening To

This is a paranormal PI story. The characters are easy to get to know and like. The story has a good plot and decent buildup. I would have liked it a bit longer but it is overall a good listen. The narrator does well with the character voices but her voice is on the flat side when reading every thing else. I would definitely give a listen to the next book in this series.
