The Babysitters Coven

De: Kate M. Williams

Narrado por: Phoebe Strole

Adventures in Babysitting meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this funny, action-packed novel about a coven of witchy babysitters who realize their calling to protect the innocent and save the world from an onslaught of evil.

Seventeen-year-old Esme Pearl has a babysitters club. She knows it's kinda lame, but what else is she supposed to do? Get a job? Gross. Besides, Esme likes babysitting, and she's good at it.

And lately Esme needs all the cash she can get, because it seems like destruction follows her wherever she goes. Let's just say she owes some people a new tree.

Enter Cassandra Heaven. She's Instagram-model hot, dresses like she found her clothes in a dumpster, and has a rebellious streak as gnarly as the cafeteria cooking. So why is Cassandra willing to do anything, even take on a potty-training two-year-old, to join Esme's babysitters club?

The answer lies in a mysterious note Cassandra's mother left her: "Find the babysitters. Love, Mom."

Turns out, Esme and Cassandra have more in common than they think, and they're about to discover what being a babysitter really means: a heroic lineage of superpowers, magic rituals, and saving the innocent from seriously terrifying evil. And all before the parents get home.

Just Spooky Enough

As an adult who occasionally enjoys YA books, this one was pretty good. The narrator does a really good job and the story is a mix of funny and spooky with a little light horror thrown in for good measure. Would be a good book to listen to when you're in the mood for something that's about as scary as a Lifetime movie.

Buffy Fans will Enjoy

This was a good short story that is reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As a Buffy fan, I like the similarities in mythology and its even mentioned in the story. A must listen/read for anyone that is into supernatural teen comedies. The narrator did a great job in bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend and look forward to book two in the series.
