The Whimsy Witch Who Wasn't

Tales of Xest, Book 1

By: Donna Augustine

Narrated by: Angel Clark

When they kidnapped me to Xest, they thought I was a nobody, another lowly whimsy witch to work in their wish factory. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

Everybody has bad days, stories of horror and woe. Unless they have the wind calling their name and ghosts telling them they have bad debts, I don’t have time to listen. I’m too busy with the hot guy who yelled at me because of some stupid feather and strange people jumping through puddles and kidnapping me to Xest. If you don’t know where Xest is, join the club. They say it’s somewhere north of North, and east of East. It sure doesn’t look like any place I’ve ever seen.

So yeah, top that day and maybe I’ll hear you out. Right now though, I’ve got to go help the hot guy keep the darkness at bay over by the Unsettled Lands, while trying to not blow things up. It’s the only way I’ll ever get back to Salem.

Enjoyable book

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I felt the characters were very well written, the plot was interesting, and I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Overall great read

The narrator did great voices for the dialogue but the narration sounded completely affected, like a newscaster. It drove me nuts.

the e whimsy witch who wasn't

I haven't read any books by this author so I gave this one a try. the first chapter was confusing but I kept reading and the story got better. I'm not sure I will read book two, maybe if I want to read something different. the narrator was very easy to listen to.

A Really Fun Story

I stumbled across this when I was looking at other books by the narrator, Angel Clark. Seems like a lot of people are not fond of her style. I enjoyed her narration in Waking Up Dead in Alabama and was checking out what else she had done.

If you can get past the narrator - I agree she's not the best but I don't find her to be so annoying I can't enjoy the story either.

If you stick with the story, the story itself is so charming and fun it's well worth the cost of the book.
The only drawback is that there are four books in the series and Audible only has the first two, the others are available to read on Kindle but no audiobooks available.

An outstanding must have book!

The whimsy Witch Who Wasn’t, by Donna Augustine narrated by Angel Clark is a must have book! Tippi thinks her life has been destroyed, but she is about to find out it is just the opposite.
The narrator brings this book to life and the author allows us to be transported to a whole new dimension with Tippi.
You won’t regret this book or the series!
