Second Hand Curses

By: Drew Hayes

Narrated by: Scott Aiello, Marc Vietor, Tavia Gilbert

When your fairy godmother threatens to enslave you with a curse - when a malevolent piper solves your rat problem but steals your children - when you seek revenge on the prince who turned you into a frog - who can you turn to in your hour of need? The band of scoundrels known far and wide as the Bastard Champions - the swashbuckling trio who travel a world of legend, seeking adventure and righting wrongs - as long as there's enough gold to be earned. They are Jack, the seemingly unkillable leader whose ever-present grin belies a dark past; Marie, who fights with fury but battles more fiercely to control the beast within; and Frank, the master of logistics, whose cloak hides horrific scars that are far more than skin-deep. As they slash and scheme through kingdom and village alike, the Bastard Champions uncover tantalizing clues to their ultimate quarry: the powerful Blue Fairy, who has made each of their lives a living hell.

Second Hand Curses adds a dash of sly wit and a heaping portion of action to the fairy tales you thought you knew.

Definitely worth a listen if you like Drew Hayes

Interesting retelling of fantasy stories we all grew up hearing. Much more interesting version of them as well. Great performance by the cast, and great for killing time in the car as it’s a greater story composed of different tales, giving you clean sections to turn off the book and pick it up later.

Sort of a Mod Squad of the fairytale world!

The three main characters understand how to get things done in a fairytale world, and that makes for a really fun read! this book is divided up into 11 different stories, like episodes in the series. They flow into one another to craft an overall narrative. I didn't find the endings to be at all predictable. I mean, you knew the heroes were going to come out on top, but had no idea how they were going to get there. the voice acting was also really good. I listen to several full cast audio dramas, and this is the best of both worlds. A cast of three were able to give enough voices to keep things easy to understand as you listen, but not so many voices that you get lost. Highly recommended.

A quick and fun read

Loved it, having multiple narrators was a new and enjoyable experience. I hope there's more.

What fun!

This is a delightful romp through the fairy tales of our youth! Wonderfully performed by multiple voices, you cannot help but to be enchanted by the stoic Frank, the cursed Marie and of course the smiling and cunning Jack. I didn't want the story to end! I can only hope that Drew Hayes will make this the beginning of a series!

Free does it again!!

Awesome story's, great characters, cool twist on a classic stories. Can't wait for the next one.
