Misplaced Magic

By: Jessica Dodge

Narrated by: Brooke Burfitt

Working as a journalist in the quiet corners of a Maine town, Ionna Bellmore receives an estate letter that unravels her reality. A mysterious grandmother, an inherited estate, and a journey to the enchanting landscapes of northern Wales await her. But what she uncovers there fractures her perception of her family, revealing a darkness lying just below the surface. Simultaneously, Kate, a London teenager, flees to her grandmother’s house in the quaint Welsh town of Beddgelert. She's there to figure out her future away from the grasp of her controlling mother, but what she finds are forgotten memories and powerful magic lying dormant within her.

Bound by the threads of fate and the age-old Welsh myth of the Lady of the Lake, Ionna and Kate's lives intertwine. With the help of Owen, a local farm boy, and Zeke, a charismatic swordsmith, they must unravel their connection to the encroaching evil threatening to wreak chaos on humanity.

Love it so far

I’m really enjoying this book but the narrator is not the right choice for this title. Everyone sounds like an ingenue so much so that you can’t tell when she’s switched characters. Make/female? All the same. And I’m dying for the interaction with Artemis to end so that I don’t have to endure the terrible accent which at one moment sounds German & another moment French. So bothersome that I stopped listening just to write this review. Thank god the story is intriguing!

enjoyment

the overall story was a nice read. fun and scary. yet characters came thru with love

Really good story

It has many of my favorite ingredients: love, magic, plot twists, interesting conflict. I found narration appropriate and it’s a good length. I do recommend it.

Great magical twist

I didn’t want it to end! Love, secrets, lies, and mystery all wrapped up in magic and suspense.

Great narrative flowing story

I fully enjoyed this book. The characters and story were wonderful. It just flowed one after another. There were no slow spots;really enjoyable.

Great listen!

Narrated by Brooke Burfitt, this was such a captivating blend of mystery and magic. The narrator, Brooke used a variety of tones and inflections bringing the characters to life.
What I loved most is the delicate balance between mystery, magic, and the exploration of familial ties. The encroaching evil threatening humanity adds a suspenseful layer that kept me on the edge of my seat. Also the time jumps were also cool!! Especially during that horse scene! I was on the edge of my seat.
The delicate balance of family, suspenseful elements, and the enchanting Welsh landscape make it a gem in magical realism. A must-listen for those who crave audiobooks with secrets, magic, and a touch of the mystical elements.
