So good!

This is so good and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Great writing and imagery. I wish the narrator could pronounce some of the basic words as it’s a little distracting. Overall excellent read. I received a free copy and left my honest review

Great Read

Witch Myth Wildfire: A Yew Hollow Cozy Mystery- Book 1 was a great read by Alexandria Clarke. A 16 year old disappears from her hometown without a trace which just stumps the local police. Her older sister Kennedy is the only person who has any hope of finding her. The two share an otherworldly bond which leads Kennedy to Yew Hollow. She quickly uncovers a coven of witches, a secret and something she didn't know about herself. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

First in the series

This is the first book I've listened to by this author and this is the first in this series. I'm looking forward to reading and listening to more! Also, the narrator did a great job with the characters.

I received a copy of this audiobook for free in exchange for my honest review.

cliffhanger

weird with more questions than answers. odd that after all Kennedy did to find and help Nora that Nora was okay with letting the witches kill her???? not looking for more in this series. unsatisfied. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. the narrator was good.

Enjoyed

These are always a delight to listen to or to read the books.
Full of mayhem and laughs, with good narration
Given audio for my voluntary review

ok, but not a Christmas book

Meh. I picked this up because the cover made me think it was a Christmas story. But it isn’t. It’s set in October and ends long before December. I suspect that if I took the time to look, I’d find that this isn’t the cover the book always has, but that the author changed it to catch the seasonal readers. I feel a little manipulated by that, if I’m honest. (Of course, doing that would require figuring out the naming convention of having two books…maybe series…named Witch Myth and even Witch Myth: Wildfire, explicitly. I’m confused.)

I thought this was ok. Not fabulous, but not complete trash either. But I wouldn’t call it a cozy paranormal mystery. Paranormal, yes. Mystery, yes. But there is very little cozy to be had. So, don’t go in expecting anything the cover or subtitle leads you to expect. Yeah, still feeling a little manipulated over here.

All in all, I liked the characters, and the writing was mechanically fine. But the story feels like a spin-off, the characterization is on the simple side, and the book ends on a cliffhanger at exactly the point it feels like the actual story (as opposed to all the setup) looks to actually be starting.

Lastly, the audio production and narration were only OK. Several words were oddly pronounced. Let me rephrase; a lot of words are mispronounced. And there is the occasional noticeable blip in the smoothness of the narrative, where you can tell it has been spliced together. Both of these yanked me out of the story when they happened.

So, all in all, not a real winner for me. But mostly, it just didn’t catch and hold my attention. I think those who like the genre will enjoy it.

Note: I received a free code for this book. I chose to listen and review it.
