About this listen

Welcome to Myrtlewood, a quirky town steeped in magic, tea, and mystery…

Life’s a struggle for Rosemary Thorn and her teen daughter, Athena. But their regular troubles are turned upside down after Granny Thorn’s mysterious death.

Despite her cousin's sinister maneuverings, Rosemary returns to Myrtlewood and the sprawling, dilapidated Thorn Manor. There's more to the old house than meets the eye, as Rosemary and Athena soon find out—in a whirlwind of magic, adventure, mystical creatures, and endless cups of tea.

Life in Myrtlewood would be bliss if Rosemary could only clear her name in a certain murder investigation, solve the mystery and stay out of mortal peril—for at least a little while!

A small town with endless secrets, strange activities, and a house with a mind of its own.

Disappointed

Really wanted to like this book, but the narrator spoiled it completely. The main character sounded like a fed up old woman. The pause at the end of each sentence and the countless times we heard ‘Rosemary said’ was so annoying. Disappointed.

An enjoyable setting and storyline

This book was fairly easy to follow though I caught myself willing the characters to piece things together quicker, rather than them solving some of the mysteries for me. I would have loved to see more character depth and progression as well - maybe in the second book! Myrtlewood was a nice town to escape to.

So great I'm listening again.

This absolutely fabulous. I was hooked on first page. Characters are interesting and you can just tell there is so much ahead. I won't give anything away, so as not to spoil your enjoyment. However I can't wait to listen to the next.
Magical witchery....is definitely on my list. Thank you for writing this. You are my top author 🙂

Story is good narrator not so much!

The story is great but the voices given to one of main characters by the narrator is very annoying. Rosemary sounds like a very old creepy man very similar to the male voices attempted. Ruin the my enjoyment of the story.

It took a couple of chapters…

I loved the story but it’s taken a while to get used to the reading style. I kept wondering how much more humorous it would have been if it were read by the likes of Zara Ramm. Every sentence seemed ominous and a bit disjointed with the emphasis on … not the word I would have put it on… But don’t let that put you off because despite that I really enjoyed this, the first book. Maybe by the end of book two I will be wishing that she had read other books I want to read.
The story seems well written and a good lead up to a magical series without focusing on too many similar characters that can often confuse the storyline.
Looking forward to seeing how this grows with plenty lying ahead to keep me going for quite a while

could have been great

I gave up on this book due to the painfully slow narration. Otherwise I think I would have really enjoyed it. May try just reading it.
