The Witch and the Gentleman

By: J.R. Rain

Narrated by: Francesca Townes

Allison Lopez is not your everyday Psychic Hotline operator. She's a real psychic with real abilities that seem to grow daily, thanks to her close association with an immortal friend. Now, as her abilities continue to grow, Allison meets a very strange woman who reveals a starling secret to her. Life, for Allison Lopez, is about to get even stranger... and more fantastic.

And when she gets a phone call from a distraught father seeking answers to his daughter's murder, Allison finds herself in unfamiliar territory: looking for a cold-blooded killer. It will take all of Allison's abilities, both old and new, to catch an animal who preys on the innocent. And as the case unfolds, Allison is about to discover that not all is as it seems and life still has a few tricks up its sleeve.

The Witch and the Gentleman is the first of a brand-new, supernatural series.

Dawn's Review of The Witch And The Gentleman

I'm not in love with the book. I thought that the concept was good. I think that the narrator kind of ruined it for me. Her pace was too slow for the story. I ended up changing the speed of the story so that I didn't get bored. With that being said......

I liked the concept of the story. Psychic Hotline person actually having psychic ability. Helping a guy find the killer of his daughter and find his way home. It was predictable, but entertaining.

Enjoyable story

Enjoyable story but I can't help seeing it too closely related to another very well known story (and movie) with the exception of the witch element. Won't say which movie so as to not spoil this read for others. Even with that comparison, I did rather enjoy this. Characters are developed well and story is engaging, plus the narrator does a good job also.

Power, compassion and a twist, what's not to like?

Where does The Witch and the Gentleman rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Well, it takes a fair bit these days to get 5 stars out of me, but I've loved so many audio books and found so many new authors it's hard to answer this. But, when I have credits J.R. Rain is one of the top 5 authors who I search for to find new books they've written.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This book grabbed me, I've been listening to all the Samantha Moon books and loved Allison in those, this book made me love her more. There were times I laughed, and times I cried (sorry fellow bus passengers, I'm fine/sane, I promise) but the best part was the very end, loved it!

Any additional comments?

Worth a credit or just buying it, especially if you've been following the Samantha Moon books.

Not my favorite

The narrator read too slowly and a little too earnestly in my opinion. The plot twist is really no surprise. This is the first book in the series, which could get better with some real suspense, some secondary characters, and better narration. I wouldn't recommend.

it was a #2 compared to all others.

it was good but I love all the others. I just wish she would have had more of a roll in it. but it was good.
