Publisher's summary

American doctor Tara Moore wants to disappear. On the run from an abusive husband, she seeks shelter on a windswept Irish island and dismisses the villagers' speculation that she is descended from a selkie - a magical creature who is bewitching the island. But when a ghostly woman appears to her with a warning, Tara realizes it was more than chance that brought her to this island.

Desperate to escape a dark and dangerous past, she struggles against a passionate attraction to handsome islander, Dominic O'Sullivan. But the enchantment of the island soon overpowers her and she falls helpless under its spell. Caught between magic and reality, Tara must find a way to wield both when a dangerous stranger from her past arrives, threatening to destroy the lives of everyone on the island.

The Selkie Spell

I loved this book!It was well written,having adventure,suspense and romance.The narrator was perfect for this book!I was gifted a copy for an honest review

Surprisingly Good

Not Nora Roberts but it kept me going until the end. Narration is okay.

No regrets and credit worthy listen.

Nora Roberts wanna be

Would you try another book from Sophie Moss and/or Hollis McCarthy?

NO. This book was so similar to Nora Roberts trilogy style books, only nora's are better written. So I wouldn't waste my time reading any more of this author's books.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Predictable.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator was talking as if in a dream like stance all the time. It was not well narrated at all.

Very good book

I like the characters but needed to have more on the Selkie at the end of the book. Also why the seals helped out Tara. Need to explain What a Selkie is and why they are loved by the sea animals, most people don't know. the narrator was great. Didn't try to to deepen the voice for mail characters and was just not reading. The story was very good with each character, and intertwined with the island and myth.

Absolutely mesmerizing, beautifully read

Tara-strong female who had suffered a lot but was willing to take charge of her life and make it better.

She reads so well. She's very articulate but at the same time, pulls you into the story with her inflections and enthusiasm for the story.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story captured my attention from the very first chapter. I finished in one day, The author was excellent and made the story so much more interesting to listen too. If you like a story with an Irish theme and Irish Myths you will enjoy listening to this captivating story.

All the characters are great especially, Kelsey who is always one step ahead of the grown-ups
