Publisher's summary

Three years ago, budding rock star Levi Kelley broke up with the love of his life. He knew a long-distance relationship would be hard, but he didn’t know it would break him. As a teen, he’d been thrown out and then exploited for his unusual witch abilities, so the one thing he couldn’t handle was the crushing feeling of abandonment. And that’s exactly how he felt after one too many missed connections, miscommunications, and disappointments. There wasn’t anything to do but go their separate ways. But now, after two years of touring the world, Levi is finally coming home to Keating Hollow...and his one love, Silas Ansell.

Air witch Silas Ansell has always wanted two things: a successful acting career and Levi Kelley. At one time, he’d had both. Then he lost Levi, and his acting career went sideways when his paranormal drama was canceled. Now he’s coming home, determined to get both back. But what will he do if he has to choose between the two again? Is love enough, or will he find a way to get everything he’s ever wanted?

This is a sweet m/m romance.

A Second Chance Love Story

Two familiar characters finally finding their ever after! Not as much action as previous novels but and enticing slow burn revealing. As always, a well written enticing listen! Enjoy!

Love Keating Hollow!

I love all the characters in the Keating Hollow series. Wish I could be part of that world. This story centers around Silas and Levi, who were together when they were younger, but with Silas' film career being his focus, they parted ways. In the past several years since they broke up, Levi has become an international rock star and set to co-star with Silas in a movie being filmed in Keating Hollow. Deanna Chase has created a very interesting town, with characters that grow near and dear to your heart. If you enjoy the pull and tug of working through relationships with things within and out of the characters' control, you will love the way Deanna makes you feel when reading this series. Return of the Witch is a great addition to this amazing series. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love these two but….

I could not get past the narrator, he completely ruined the story for me. I couldn’t tell characters a part, and he sounded like a mix of the movie introduction guy and a fake posh accent. It’s such a shame because I’ve been so excited about this book. Truthfully I almost couldn’t finish it. The story was good but I spent the entire book checking how much time was left as I wanted it to be over.
If you can get past the narration, it is another wonderful love story. I have loved these two since their first introduction and I was not disappointed by their love story.

Second Chances

I have always cheered for Levi when he became part of Keating Hollow. Levi & Silas had a “thing” for each other. Then Silas put his work before anything else including Levi. They go their separate ways & move on with their lives.
Levi has become a fantastic musician & is traveling all over the world. Silas has continued on his filming journey.
Then Levi returns to Keating Hollow to star in a movie with, yup, Silas.
Will they end up ruining the movie or settle their past & their future lives.

This is mainly 2 guys as the main characters, so Gabra isn’t narrating the storyline this time. I did have a difficult time getting used to Joel Leslie though. His narration made Levi & Silas sound more like whiny teenagers instead of adults.

I received an ARC of this audible story & this is my honest opinion.

Why the narrator???

I LOVE all of these series books but we didn’t need the narrator switch. This narrator made it difficult to listen to. I can’t even finish the book. It will just be one I have to miss. I’ll return it for my credit back sadly…

Levi and Silas

Yay, Levi and Silas for their story. This is the 14th book in the Witches of Keating Hollow series. Throughout the series we have seen Levi and Silas both grow as individuals, as a couple, then as exs. I am glad we got a book to see if they are able to reconnect, it's hard when you both have thriving public careers.

Will love endure?

I’m so happy to be back at Keating Hollows!
This is a slow burn M/M romance and it was one I’ve been patiently waiting on. Levi and Silas have so much to unpack in this book and I feel like the author did a great job. Perfect for lovers of second chance, and a bit of witchy vibes.

Love the story hate the narration

I just finished the latest installment of the Keating hollow series. I have loved all the books, done by the previous narrator. I don't understand why we had to change the narrator for this story. I understand that this is told from a guy's perspective, but the previous narrator always did such a great job with the voices. this new guy is horrible. The accents are off. the cadence is off. I'm just not enjoying this book as much as I have the other ones and it's really just due to this one sticky wiki issue.

the story is cute, but..

..the narrator on this one is obnoxious.
I've listened to every book in this story more than once in the past but decided to give this one a try and I regret it. He's over dramatic, in ways that remind me of guys that are trying way too hard. the storyline is cute though. I just wish I had read it instead of listening to it.

Narrator?

I had trouble listening to this book after hearing the previous ones. This narrator was terrible. You couldn’t tell the characters apart. I will just read it. He seemed like he was overly dramatic and trying to hard to come across. He did not do the book justice, he took away from the story. I had to keep rewinding the book.
