Publisher's summary

What do you get when you mix magic with one of the most prestigious dogs in Germany? You get something special and powerful. In a time when witches were hunted down and burned, a famous alchemist devised a plan to help protect them. One particular puppy, who is predestined for someone in our time, learns all she can before heading on the journey of her life.

My mother always told me and my siblings that we were special. But that's something all mothers say.... Isn't it? What you don't always hear is that you're part of the litter of Great Dane puppies destined to protect the witches and warlocks throughout time. We just have to find one another, before our time runs out....

Absolutely 5 huge stars!

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say, this is honestly the first book I’ve read or listened to that is told completely from the point of view of an animal. It was great! There was such a new idea on magic that was all over this book, it was awesome. I went through a lot of emotions with this story…anger, happiness, awe, sadness, curiousity, and love. Any book that can make me go through so many good and bad emotions is definitely a winner!! There is one single thing that I would change about this book though….I would make it much longer!! I am hoping to be able to get my hands on the second book as soon as it comes out so I can continue the story! Definitely pick up this book; you won’t regret it!

A cute story as told by Little One

Would you consider the audio edition of Bred by Magic to be better than the print version?

As I haven't read the print version of 'Bred by Magic' I'm unable to honestly answer this question.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved how all this story was told by Little One, a female pup... it was cute to hear everything based on a pups POV.

What does Kat Marlowe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved hearing all the different accents that Kat applied to the characters when narrating this story, when reading I always find I can't quite get them correct in my head.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I'm never good at these.... Being Bred to Protect???

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the story line of this audio book, it has left me wondering about the rest of the story, that 'Bred by Magic' is based from.

Fabulous

Diana's writing is great. Her story draws you in.
Kat manages to bring these characters to life with her voice. You can hear the characters grow as the story advances.

Bred by magic

Any additional comments?


The author has created a magical story where the puppies are talking to their mother. We have fun with them and see them grow in to strong magical Great Danes bred to protect. One of these puppies is destined to protect a powerful witch. A enjoyable audio book to listen to.

Cute premise!

I normally don’t read such short books, but the premise of this book intrigued me. This book introduces the characters and the world, then stops with the set-up for the sequel. This must be a middle-grades series, but the plot can be enjoyed by anyone of any age that likes paranormal fiction.

What a fun story

This was such a fun story told from the puppy point of view. My 13 year old even had to listen! She loved that it was told from the puppy's view! I can't wait for more in this series. I was reluctant to listen at first but it was so worth it! Kat does a wonderful job narrating as well.
