Loved This!!

This is a wonderful fantasy read that is family friendly! My two young daughters were hooked and we all loved it! The narrator is phenomenal! If you loved stories like Artemis Fowl, you will love Tucked Away! Mystery, fantasy, and adventure! I love that this will be a series BUT I am dying to know what’s next!!

A fantastic world with fantastic characters.

I enjoyed the twists and turns in this book and the development of the characters and their relationships.

A Whimsical & Creative Tale

I won a copy of the audiobook from the author via Instagram, and I'm glad I did! The narrator was spot on and made this an easy to follow and warm feeling listen. I felt the story was very unique and imaginative. The diverse characters were very intriguing and interesting. The multiple POVs in here flow well together. Sometimes, it's easy to get lost and confused, but Mel's writing style comes off very smoothly and performed very well by the narrator. The cliffhanger at the end definitely left me wanting more. This will be a series I will be keeping an eye out for what's to come!

Amazing Fantasy Storytelling

I’m very glad that I listened to this as an audiobook! The narrator’s voice makes it sound like a classic fairytale. The story was so unique and wholesome, while including adventure and twists I didn’t expect.

It was a little difficult to understand the different fantasy races present because I had no spelling or context. Most of the creatures were different from those in books I’ve read before. I think a reference section of the world (people, places, etc.) would be super helpful in both the physical book and the audiobook. I’m definitely on board to listen to or read the second book when it comes out!

The development of the characters

I thought it was well written and a great cast of characters however I felt that some characters we’re introduced and the background was set a little late but overall the book was well written and performed beautifully highly recommended
