Misplaced Magic

De: Jessica Dodge

Narrado por: Brooke Burfitt

Working as a journalist in the quiet corners of a Maine town, Ionna Bellmore receives an estate letter that unravels her reality. A mysterious grandmother, an inherited estate, and a journey to the enchanting landscapes of northern Wales await her. But what she uncovers there fractures her perception of her family, revealing a darkness lying just below the surface. Simultaneously, Kate, a London teenager, flees to her grandmother’s house in the quaint Welsh town of Beddgelert. She's there to figure out her future away from the grasp of her controlling mother, but what she finds are forgotten memories and powerful magic lying dormant within her.

Bound by the threads of fate and the age-old Welsh myth of the Lady of the Lake, Ionna and Kate's lives intertwine. With the help of Owen, a local farm boy, and Zeke, a charismatic swordsmith, they must unravel their connection to the encroaching evil threatening to wreak chaos on humanity.

Love it so far

I’m really enjoying this book but the narrator is not the right choice for this title. Everyone sounds like an ingenue so much so that you can’t tell when she’s switched characters. Make/female? All the same. And I’m dying for the interaction with Artemis to end so that I don’t have to endure the terrible accent which at one moment sounds German & another moment French. So bothersome that I stopped listening just to write this review. Thank god the story is intriguing!

Great magical twist

I didn’t want it to end! Love, secrets, lies, and mystery all wrapped up in magic and suspense.

Great narrative flowing story

I fully enjoyed this book. The characters and story were wonderful. It just flowed one after another. There were no slow spots;really enjoyable.

Fun story with magic in our world

The narrator was terrible at men's voices, enough that it was distracting and annoying. Otherwise she was pretty good, except I'm not sure I heard any decent Welsh accents.

enjoyment

the overall story was a nice read. fun and scary. yet characters came thru with love

Really good story

It has many of my favorite ingredients: love, magic, plot twists, interesting conflict. I found narration appropriate and it’s a good length. I do recommend it.

Fun listen

This was fun to listen to. Talented author and narrator. I enjoy weaving fantasy and witchcraft into my mix of books.

Excellent story

I absolutely loved this book! Definitely one I’ll listen to again. I loved all of the characters, and the narrator was excellent.

Fantastical yet believable!

The fast paced, emotional tale kept me on the edge until the end! The characters were true and on target, and the details were just right, especially the magical experiences.

loved the connections

this is the 2nd book of hers I've read and still the same review. LOTS of unnecessary details, drawn out beginning and then when the meat gets going you're enthralled. I loved the connection with the first book and now I'll carry on to her 3rd. so the unlikely parts aren't so unbearable that I won't buy another lol
