Publisher's summary

Charley is a cleaner by day and a professional gambler by night. She might be haunted by her tragic past but she's never thought of herself as anything or anyone special. Until, that is, things start to go terribly wrong all across the city of Manchester. Between plagues of rats, firestorms, and the gleaming blue eyes of a sexy Scottish werewolf, she might just have landed herself in the middle of a magical apocalypse. She might also be the only person who has the ability to bring order to an utterly chaotic new world.

Good book but the accent of the reader is so strong

I could not instant some of the words Ruth Urquhart said. And needed to go back and forth to understand what was being said

What was the point

Of killing the little brother? I found that aspect of the story to be troubling and unnecessary.

Promise

This story has a solid start but no bite. The world is well thought out but the characters tend to be under developed. The performance was very well done and flowed very well. I am going to give book 2 a try and see how our writer does.

A Magical city, literally!

Shrill Disk by Helen Harper and narrated by Ruth Urquhart is a story about magic and how magic and a magical object helped take over a city! The magic transformed people into all types of creatures! There are plenty of side stories going on too. This is the story of Charlie as she is right in the middle of this magical mayhem! Great magical fun and disasters!
Narration was excellent!

lets hear it for Helen Harper

I was listening to this book on Audible then decided to get it in ebook too. It was real fun to listen AND read it.

Not my favorite

I just couldn’t get into this story. Maybe the series gets better, but this story isn’t one of Helen Harper’s best. The narrator did a great job, but I was bored and just couldn’t care about the characters. Charlie’s backstory was the best part of the book.
