Not for me

I don't like to give poor reviews but to read this you need to be the sort of person who believes that; 1 , someone who doesn't know the difference between delphinium and ragwort can get a job as a professional gardener and 2, someone who has never read a book can become an author.
Badly written and badly read. A waste of a credit

Pronunciation distracting

The name is Selena, say it correctly! Who would have the name “Celina”. Quite annoying the way the narrator mangles names and words. Also Prue’s character was voiced so annoyingly it was distracting.

Good read

it took me a few chapters to get into the book. Once I did I began to enjoy it and it was an enjoyable read. Good characters in fact I think the author could write a book about the antics of Mr and Mrs Chicken!

Predictable nonsense

I can't think of anything positive to say or of any redeeming qualities. Just a load of twee twaddle really.
The narration was fine though. Not the best I've heard, but decent enough.
Overall though, it was a waste of time and money, even though it was a sale item.

Good storyline & characters. Fabulous narration.

Enjoyed the story, but did feel that the main character was a little pithy, especially when it came to her dealing with Helena.
Narration was brilliant as always by Kirsten. I could listen to anything she reads.
