About this listen
Jenny doesn’t know what they’ll do when they find out she’s a wicked witch.
She can’t help being a wicked witch. It’s in her blood.
She’s supposed to eat children, blast people with witchfire, and plot dark deeds with her foul-mouthed imp familiar, Jizzimus. Instead, she’s rescued a girl, Kay, from a band of people traffickers. To keep her safe they have signed up for a college course in an English country mansion. Jizzimus is not impressed.
The mansion is not the safe haven they thought it would be. They say they want to turn good witches into great witches, but witches are going missing, there are far more ghosts round here than there ought to be and there is something huge and terrible in the woods.
If Jenny thought that messing up her witchcraft coursework and getting distracted by the handsome gardener was going to be the worst of her problems, she’s dead wrong.
With new witch friends, sexy mind-controller Caroline and soft-hearted herbalist Dee, Jenny’s determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. It turns out that at Effie Fray’s training college you have to learn fast or die trying.
You’ll love this fun-loving witch academy audiobook because sometimes it needs friends to show us how to be a better version of ourselves.

Witty at Times
What a lovely listen not quite what I expected, not all ghouls & spells and yes Jenny has a familiar Jizzimus an imp, of course not all witches have familiars only the wicked ones. The book is quite light-hearted easy to listen to and has a few sniggers along the way.
Well crafted and put together not heard of the authors Heidi Goody & Iain Grant maybe it's because this is not my general haunt, and the narration was particularly good by Diana Croft.

great characters and plot
this was a really good storyline from start to finish. I could imagine the characters and understood the dynamics between them which shows a well written book. I enjoyed jizimus demon and his comments. I've read and enjoyed the odd job series and this was on a par with good characters, entertainment and plot.

Brilliant, gently amusing and beautifully read.
The story is light (with some gruesome moments best not dwelt on). It made me chuckle out loud and was so well read that I could recognise some of the characters by voice alone. A sublime production all around. Thoroughly recommended.

Magical Mayhem
An intriguing storyline, a great cast of characters and some laugh out loud moments. I particularly liked Zofna's philosophical views on life! Extremely well read. The whole thing was enormous fun.

Funny lighthearted
Not as good as Pratchett but same ilk.
Zany and light hearted and slickly written with a modicum of Girls’ Own adventure.

Hilarious and fun
The story is about a rag tag group of witches invited to a self-help retreat in the countryside, where they learn about themselves, the value of teamwork, and being the best witches they can be. There are some darker themes as well, hidden in the comedy, which adds another layer to the story.
It’s the characters in this book that make it brilliant – I adored all of the witches in their own way (apart from Caroline, who’s a bit of a dick). Dee is a sweet witch who works in a charity shop and specialises in communicating with animals and mending clothing; Jenny is a wicked witch who doesn’t really have a bad bone in her body but is discriminated against anyway; Nora is a haughty older lady with a secret rebellious streak and Shazzam, a hilariously naïve witch you can’t help but love.
However, these are all honourable mentions because the title of ‘Best Character Ever Written’ goes to Jizzimus the imp. He’s fiercely loyal to Jenny but otherwise a total disgrace with a fart or dick joke for all occasions. His antics cracked me up every time!
I’ve listened to most of Diana Croft’s audiobooks at this point because it’s a pretty safe bet I’ll enjoy the book, but I would venture that this is the best book she’s ever done. She brings the fantastic characters to life, each one with their own distinctive personality and voice, especially Jizzimus the imp.
I rarely relisten to audiobooks but I can happily play this one on repeat!
If you need something genuinely funny, adventurous, silly and uplifting – this is the book you need in your life.
