Payback's a Witch

De: Lana Harper

Narrado por: Jeremy Carlisle Parker

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling New York Times bestselling rom-com by Lana Harper.

Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one—in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams.

But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago.

On her first night home, Emmy runs into Talia Avramov—an all-around badass adept in the darker magical arts—who is fresh off a bad breakup . . . with Gareth Blackmoore. Talia had let herself be charmed, only to discover that Gareth was also seeing Linden—unbeknownst to either of them. And now she and Linden want revenge. Only one question stands: Is Emmy in?

But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov?

fantastic

I loved the story, I'm so glad to see it's the first in a series and I loved the narrator too, I'm actually going to look into what else they read on the app because I enjoyed their voice and often find listening to books difficult when the. reader doesn't match up in my mind

Great performance by the narrator

This was such a fun story. The narrator really brought it to life, though. I thought she did a fantastic job.

Awesome! No Super Sexy But…

The sex wasn’t the hottest things I have read lately but still an amazingly good book!

Decent story though lacking in places.

Decent story though lacking in places.
I almost gave up on it, but I really try to finish every book I start. There was a point about 3-4 hours from the end that I seriously had to push through.
The story weirdly jumped in a couple places (enough that I thought I had maybe skipped a chapter or something) that made me say “but what happened in between there!
I definitely think there could have been some parts more fleshed out.
I did enjoy the depictions of the gauntlet particularly the last challenge. Will I read any others in this series? Eh. Undecided at this time.
I’m not downloading the next book right now but I may at some point in the future.

Wow, had no idea how much I’d love this!!

I bought this on a whim after it was selected as a pick for my book club yet I knew I wouldn’t be able to attend the discussion. So glad I did!! Beautiful, immersive setting; rich world-building & nuanced characterizations; relationships you root for. Narration stellar - laughed out loud! Cozy, heartwarming, lush. This is a new author to me & I will definitely look for more.
