Salt Magic Skin Magic

By: Lee Welch

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Lord Thornby has been trapped on his father's isolated Yorkshire estate for a year. There are no bars or chains; he simply can't leave. His sanity is starting to fray.

When industrial magician John Blake arrives to investigate a case of witchcraft, he finds the peculiar, arrogant Thornby as alarming as he is attractive. John soon finds himself caught up in a dark fairy tale, where all the rules of magic - and love - are changed.

To set Thornby free, both men must face life - changing truths - and John must accept that the brave, witty man who's winning his heart may also be about to break it. Can they escape a web of magic that's as perilous as love?

Didn't see the twist coming!

The story was fun and entertaining! The characters felt real as did their strife and you could see their growth. I could feel the desperation in the MCs dialogue as he recounted his dilemma in not being able to leave the estate grounds. The summary doesn't do this book justice. The fun take on magic is lovely and feels original and I appreciated that. The narrator isn't great, but he's not terrible. He does a great job with their voices, so there's that. All in all, glad I listened to this book and I'd recommend it.

Really good new author

I really enjoyed this book. Yes Joel Leslie helped it tremendously however as the other reviews stated that this book is a relatively new author and just wonderful story. Definitely worth the credit. There was a few spots that seemed to drag but for the most part it was pretty awesome.

One of my all time favorite audiobooks!

The depth of the connection between Soren and John is my favorite aspect of this book. They both give each other something important and make each other's life better in significant ways. Also a really interesting and unique magic system.

Joel takes this story to the next level with his awesome narration!

Content warning: Emotionally and physically abusive parent of an adult child. The depiction is accurate, chilling, and central to the plot.

Surprised!

I read some reviews saything that this was their first book to write and im very impressed! This book could have had more than one book to make the world building better, but I LOVED it! the more the book went on the better it got. Congratulation to the author! and they got a banger voice actor for the book as well!

Sophisticated high fantasy

High fantasy based on centuries old folklore (which is new to me) placed within the context of the social mores and sensibilities of the 18th century while addressing an audience of the 21st...To the author and performer......Well done..Gwen
