Realms of Ghosts and Magic

Fae Witch Chronicles, Book 1

By: J. S. Malcom

Narrated by: Rachel Dulude

Length: 5 hrs and 56 mins

Publisher's Summary

When the fae beckon, very few resist. Even fewer return. As a veil witch, I'm used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I've dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. If I'm already dealing with the pests, why not get paid? 

But when I accidentally breach the faerie realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can't just go back to business as usual. Especially when I also gain the interest of a sexy and mysterious mage. Timing is everything, and even as my desire grows, a little voice inside keeps reminding me to step carefully. I know all too well that, in the supernatural world, opening doors means facing consequences. In this case, those consequences might just mean never being heard from again.

I really enjoyed the ghost clearing and more!

Realms of Ghosts and Magic by J.S. Malcolm and narrated by Rachel Dulude really is a great book a book a gal that has magic and can sense and see ghosts. She uses that skill to make a living clearing ghosts from houses. This has plenty of stories about that and more! Very coool! I loved it all the way through but then it just stop! I stayed up until almost 3am to finish the book but it was a Cliffhanger!!! Ugh! I have cliffhangers! I took one state away for that!
The narration was very good also!

C L I F F H A N G E R ..... grrrrrr

What is it with authors being SO INSECURE as to write a really really good, really unique, really interesting book and then ruin it with a cliffhanger ending in it because they think they need to suck people into buying the next book by leaving the book incomplete with a cliffhanger ending ... especially when they didn't need the cliffhanger, the book was already excellent, inventive, creative, and unique, and I would have gladly bought the whole series just based on the first book if it just had any kind of a decent ending. Now I'm so angry at the cliffhanger that I'm not buying any of them, and I'm writing a cranky review in the hope of preventing other people from the same irritating disappointment.

Casey is missing

I agree with another reviewer when they stated that CAsey misses the mark of a bad Ass witch. Give her some vavoom some guts some glory. Give some gonads.

Great Book!

I listened to this audiobook after having already read the book. I admit,I wondered if it would be like comparing a book to a movie, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The audiobook added something new by way of the narrator. The story flowed and struck all the right chords. The narrator had me hooked and I listened to the whole thing in about 24 hours. I literally could not turn it off. Whether you have read the book or not, grab this audiobook. You will not be disappointed!

Mediocre magical story

This is my first time trying this author, and the book made me unsure if it was book 1 of a spinoff story, or just poorly designed. A lot of crazy stuff happened to the main character in the 15 years prior to the start of this novel, apparently, which is glossed over - not to say that it's not described, but the series of events that are detailed don't match with how the main and supporting characters then act (very blase). The MC has no personality and zero sense, though I can't really explain the latter without spoilers. Suffice to say that even having an education to the age of 11 is enough to learn about stranger danger, so she has no excuse. The magic system is also not well flushed out / described (again, maybe if this is a spinoff? I don't care enough to check as I will not be seeking out other books by this author), and the plot was predictable. I gave it 3 stars because I listened all the way through. I wouldn't recommend using a credit for this, but you could consider it if on big sale and you're bored

This story is "meh"

I thought after reading the reviews this was going to be really good but it was meh. The readers voice was good but the story was slow, predictable when it did make sense. There was no character build up for anyone really.

Cliffhanger

I enjoyed this book. It was a little rushed in places but the story itself was entertaining. As another reviewer has said you are just getting into the story when it ends on a massive cliffhanger. I dislike first books ending like this. If you are going to have a cliff hanger make it a small one and let the book end with the MC having solved a major puzzle. Massive cliff hangers should be left for books 6 or 7 in the series when we are so invested in the characters we must find out what is going to happen. With this book, even though I enjoyed it, I am not invested enough in the characters to buy the next book just to resolve the cliffhanger.

Awesome

Kept to locked in the story all the way! Can't wait to read the 2nd one!

Over before it began

Was just getting to know the characters and starting to get into the story and it abruptly ended
