Mind over Magic

A Witch in Wolf Wood, Book 1

By: Lindsay Buroker

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

As a bookish, introverted database programmer, Morgen Keller never thought she was a candidate for a midlife crisis. That was before her husband divorced her, her boss let her go, and her grandmother died. Forty wasn’t supposed to look like this.

When Morgen heads up to the small town of Bellrock, Washington, to settle the estate, she looks forward to taking a peaceful break from life and figuring out what she’s going to do next.

But peace isn’t to be had. The old farmhouse is full of witch paraphernalia, a fearsome werewolf has claimed the property, and contrary to what the family was told, Grandma didn’t die of natural causes.

Embroiled in a mystery, and heir to powers she knew nothing about, Morgen must turn to the only person who might be able to help: the werewolf who threatened to rip her throat out for trespassing.

This isn’t the fresh start on life that Morgen had in mind.

Very enjoyable start to a new series

Lindsay Buroker has written an enjoyable start to her new series. The characters are well developed and believable.
Vivienne Leheny, as always, gave a stellar performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly look forward to the next in series.

Really enjoyed it

I’ve been a fan of Lindsey Buroker from the beginning . Sometimes I will put one of her space odysseys on if I’m having sleep issues. This way when I wake up I know what’s going on and can follow until sleep overtakes me. This is the first witchy book I’ve enjoyed. I will look for more.

Love it!

I'm so mad that I have ignored this series! I thought it was going to let me down after listening to almost all of Lindsay's work, but I was WRONG WRONG WRONG! This series hooks you in the beginning and you know after the first couple chapters, you are going to have to know how it ends! This is definitely worth the listen!

Awesome

This is the first book I've read by this author. I was immediately engaged in the story. The characters are well developed and the story is entertaining. I'm already a fan of this series and look forward to the next book.

Love this Author

Thank you for yet another wonderful world that you have brought to life and shared with us readers/listeners. I will be downloading book 2 asap.

No spoilers

This is a review for all the books in the series. first you just can't go wrong with a Buroker book every single book I've listened to has been fantastic well written and characters you want to know action laughs and romance. I will say this Buroker's 1 st book in a series starts slow at least for me then about 1\4 to 1\2 way in oh man they take off and stay that way to the end of a series. Leheny dose a really good job and have come to love her. I really really wish the Audible would come out faster that's my only complaint. oh if your new to this author that me you won't be sorry

Enjoyable Witch Fantasy

Although I don’t lean towards this genre of fantasy novels, so far the first of this series is intriguing with plot twists and characters that draw you in. I am looking forward to continuing with the series

Whole Series: Decent story with meh narration

This is for the whole 5 book series.

I've read Lindsay Buroker before (specifically Star Kingdom and Elf Tangen). Her character tropes are instantly recognizable. I don't mind the repetition as I enjoy them. Just be warned, like other sci fi authors, you'll come to feel her mark. One slightly annoying quirk of LB is time dilation to allow witty comments—the demon is very slowly "sprinting" at them if they can fit in a few paragraphs of funny comments. Besides that, it's a fun an enjoyable story. Good for a beach read.

To the bad part, and this is coming from someone who doesn't complain about narrators often: what is with the terrible Mexican accents? They're laugh out loud fake sounding. (Ironically, the "Spanish accents" in Wolf Wood sound like the elf mercenaries in Elf Tangent. Is this the narrators only gruff male voice?) As a more intangible complaint, the main character sounds young and carefree, which makes the tone off, giving wrong emotion to many scenes.

I really enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed this video book. The narrators were very good. The story was wonderful. I look forward too her next book.

Fell in love with this charming series

I wasn’t sure how I felt at first listening to this novel. It’s a bit of a slow burn, and very different than other books and series I’ve read in this genre, with main characters who are more mature (40s instead of teens and twenties) and a world that masterfully brings together the real and supernatural in a charming and refreshing way. Before I knew it, I was enchanted by the characters and the town and under the author’s spell for the series!
