A Witch's Concern

A Witch's Path, Book 4

By: N. E. Conneely

Narrated by: Jeff Hays, Laurie Catherine Winkel

Michelle has been figuring out what her life is like now that the demon has been killed, and Sylvia and Varro are dead. Even the clans of witches trying to attract her to their way of life have backed off and given her a chance to grieve. Her relationship with Elron is stronger than ever, but there are things left unsaid.

On the way to her parents' wedding, the delicate calm she’d been living in is broken. Witches are out for her blood, her family is caught in the crossfire, and friendships are threatened. Work doesn’t let up either, and she partners up with Elron to deal with magic gone wild. Michelle finds that her problems are larger than one clan of witches, and is forced to choose between the people she holds dear and the way of life she loves.

This is the fourth book in a series, following A Witch's Trial. It is a standalone novel, however, your experience will be greatly enhanced if you've heard the previous books.

As good as the first ones!

Pleasant to listen to. The voice mastery of the readers was out standing as always.

Wonderful Animated Fantasy World

After listening to the first three books of the series, I was revved up to listen to this one.
I enjoy the multiple narrators and the ways they use their voices, even in so far as to create the feel of distance if dialog stretches from another room or longer distance.

Lots of talent went into telling Michelle’s story about an unclaimed witch, her special skill with ruins and spelling, her recent relationship with a elf who she jokes with as geriatric, being over 1500 years old. Michelle’s lifespan will be close to 300 years if she doesn’t die first by her amazing capability of being in the wrong place at the right time. Thank God, she is really lucky, has nature at her back and lots of supportive friends. She does live in a scary world where demons still roam, hidden so well, they aren’t apparent, and often wonders if her choices in how she deals with evil forces are the best. Will that get her killed?

Conneely’s world building is quite believable and very entertaining. Her talent to propel a story forward with plenty of suspense with twists of surprising character keeps me reading with eagerness.

Michelle and her relationship with her elf is a slow-burn, deep feeling relationship rather than a hot spicy chemistry-filled emotion. I enjoy Michelle’s desire to work alone, protect what is hers and do the right thing.

I look forward to continue both the book and listen.

An awesome read. Keeps you on your toes

I like the male and female voices for their parts. It puts more life into the story. This series has tied both magical, human and nature together. I’ll definitely keep these in my library 📚

Hungry for action

My need for escapism has escalated and I'm finding it hard to stick to any one book. Well, I've always found it hard, but it's now approaching a ridiculous, self-deating level. So I wanted action. Not too much thinking or talking, just a lot of stuff happening. No angst, no worry, just action.
I couldn't generate any warmth for the characters until Book 4. The MC was not whiney, as at least one male listener has complained. She was mature and fairly normal, which is probably why I couldn't care. All I wanted was interesting problems competently dealt with. And that's what I got for the most part.
These box sets are great. They're usually fairly short books that I wouldn't want to waste a credit on. It speaks well for the series that I actually bought the 4th as a standalone.

A great addition to a wonderful series

I feel the need to start this book review by saying that all of these books are wonderful, adventurous, yet charming and I would not be a good reviewer if I did not say consider going back and listen to the first 3 books in this series before this one. Extend the enjoyment.

This book has less focus on Michelle’s police work but that doesn’t mean that there is one iota less adventure. N.E. Conneely has packed this story with surprises galore. This wonderful book is an adventure from start to finish.

The narration by Jeff Hays and Laurie Catherine Winkel is wonderfully expressive and the characters that they play throughout this book are believable and so well represented. They put the perfect amount of emotion and personality into the characterization. The sound quality is outstanding and the volume level is consistent throughout.
