NOT THE WITCH YOU WED

Narrator Zura Johnson is a perfect fit for the snark that infuses this lighthearted paranormal romance. Through her intonation, Johnson ensures that listeners won't miss a single inside joke. Violet "The Dud" Maxwell came to accept that she was a magic-less witch a long time ago, so it comes as a shock that something inside her sparks to life when she crosses paths with the one wolf-shifter in the world she can't trust. While Johnson tends to noticeably emphasize the pronunciation of words that begin with "wh," she doesn't miss an opportunity to infuse her performance with the sass of Asher's characters. She also keeps to the easy but snappy pace needed for this comedy-laden story. A.L. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]
