Unpacking her belongings in her new hometown of Portland, Oregon, herbalist and reformed alchemist Zoe Faust can't help but notice she's picked up a stowaway. Dorian Robert-Houdin is a living, breathing three-and-half-foot gargoyle - not to mention a master of French cuisine - and he needs Zoe's expertise to decipher a centuries-old text. Zoe, who's trying to put her old life behind her, isn't so sure she wants to reopen her alchemical past... until the dead man on her porch leaves her no choice.

A great and engaging story. One of the best narrators I've ever heard in an audiobook. French accent was flawless. Can't wait for the second book to come out.

Welcome to Hemlock Cove, where the town is magically rebranded - but real witches aren't necessarily welcome. That makes things hard for the Winchester witches - including local newspaper reporter Bay. She's got a persnickety family - wait until you met Aunt Tillie - and a penchant for stumbling across trouble.

Great stories- but HORRIBLE performance
Revisado: 11-07-15
Would you listen to How Witch It Is again? Why?
I love the stories of the Wicket Witches of the Midwest, but this is one of the worst narrators I've every had to suffer through.
What did you like best about this story?
Stories are slightly predictable, but characters are amusing and will quickly captivate you.
What didn’t you like about Aris’s performance?
Aris's performance was horrible. One phrase into the first book, she was mispronouncing basic words - distracting from the story. There is little to no distinction in performance or voice for Clove, Thistle and Bay - and she makes them all sound like constipated valley girls. Unsure if it is just her performance, or production as well, but there are awkward pauses and stops mid sentence that make it hard for you to really get into the stories. It is a shame that she was chosen to be the voice of these stories, as they deserve a much richer and more competent narration. At the very least, someone who knows how to pronounce "vehemently".

Revisado: 07-30-15
What disappointed you about The Samson Effect?
I think this is a first novel for the author. Prose were halting, predictable and at times downright painful. I couldn't get past how poorly the story was written, at times groaning out loud from how cliché and adolescent the narrative was.
Narration was robotic and awful. Not sure what accents narrator was doing, but they certainly weren't close to being Israeli. Accents aside, no performance value - my Garmin could have done a better reading.
Would you ever listen to anything by Tony Eldridge again?
Probably not.
What didn’t you like about Joe Cirillo’s performance?
Robotic- didn't even have a logical or natural cadence to his recitation. Accents were embarrassingly awful. Just bad.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Samson Effect?
Seriously- so many! Tom being on the lamb was not fleshed out or believable- cut it not necessary. Interactions with students and other teacher at beginning are not needed. The three month hiatus for seeds to grow? Really? Life was just peachy for three months? Too many threads not tied off or fleshed out. Really interesting concept - but just so poorly executed.
Any additional comments?
Was this self published and self produced? Would ask for my money back if I could.
