Something has always been missing from my life. A hole that I could never seem to fill. When I accidentally turn a coven of witches into nightmares, I find out what that something is. Magic. And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I'm exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world - the Mages' Guild. Barely knowing a spell from a few swear words and luck, I won't be able to evade them alone. And that's when I meet him.

But first he needs to find a Queen who remembers the Blood's code of honor and lives by the Old Ways.

Same great story, but character voices off
Why is Jaenelle Celtic? The voices should stay consistent throughout the series. I love Sharian's Daemon, Lucivar and Saetan.

I love these books and the narrators... usually
These books are challenging with all of the diverse chars and personalities. I was unfortunately extremely distracted with the awful Irish accent used for Janelle’s dialogue. Otherwise well done. The choices in Shalador’s lady were much more on point.

wonderful book but I'm so annoyed!
This book is incredible. I loved the side story story after seeing how the darker jeweled blood lived in the other books. I Love Cassidy and Grey and Ranon. Vae too!
However, I am very annoyed with the narrator. I bought all of the other books and I can't understand how Janelle suddenly has the Schelt accent!!! For the first 3 books she has a slight accent but nothing like this. This whole book she sounds like Morghan. It irritated me so badly that I had to fast forward all of her parts which meant missing Daemon. I just don't get how the same narrator can just completely change from one book to the next.

The accent for Janelle was changed, bad
In the past books the narrator had used an American youthful accent for Janelle but in this book of the series he changed it to an Irish accent. It was very disappointing and really took away from the character. PLEASE fix it.

Book 1 of my 2 favorite Anne Bishop novels
Story and overall this book is amazing. it's the beginning of 2 books about a young queen who takes a wild territory with protocol. now that we've all listened to the other Janelle books and we are experts in all things blood and protocol it's neat to see it put to use to help a lost territory. And it's seasoned with just enough love story and Janelle and Daemon to be familiar. The only draw back is that this was recorded during the time that John Sherean was doing Janelle's voice as a leprechaun! so that's disappointing and distracting. Why he would record Janelle one way for 5 books and then suddenly change her voice I'll never know. I wish he'd rerecord her parts for audible. But nevertheless this is still one of my two favorite Bishop books. Be sure to follow up with Shalador's Lady!

I liked the story
What didn’t you like about John Sharian’s performance?
Again the main character of "Witch" has the old crone voice and accent that he used in the last book also. It totally ruins it for me. How the narrator and the producers etc didn't catch this but let it go on for another book is amazing
