Slouch Witch

The Lazy Girl's Guide to Magic, Book 1

By: Helen Harper

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content.

However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses.

It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body a cover model would be proud of, but as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch work.

And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.

A very enjoyable read/listen

I loved this book and an re-listening to the whole series. I enjoyed every minute.

Fun, well written witchy whodunnit

Really enjoyed the world building, characters and mystery element. Excited to listen to rest of the series.

awesome 💯 both the book and the narrator!:)

Great book. about to listen to book 2,!!:) even liked the narrator. Great for a paranormal thriller.

terrific match of character voice and reader

I liked this story quite a bit, it was a fun mystery. the characters were even better. and the reader perfectly captured the laconic voice I read into the heroine.

curious, but enjoyable

can't understand why a book that clearly is set in Britain is narrated by American. enjoyable, but the UK slang was distracting in an American accent.
