About this listen

This spooky season curl up with the perfect witchy romcom for fans of Gilmore Girls, Hocus Pocus and Charmed. An absolute must-listen if you love Erin Sterling’s The Ex Hex and Lana Harper’s Payback’s a Witch!

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus…

Essie Winterscale lives in a huge and ever-changing house in the village of Good Winter, in deepest, darkest Essex. She lives with various witches of various ages, one of whom is still a bit salty about being hanged in the 1700s, one who keeps accidentally casting fertility spells, and one who knits things that create the future.

All Essie ever wanted was to have a normal life but in the end she found herself drawn back to Beldam House because she just can’t stop her witchiness (although the ability to instantly chill wine is pretty awesome, even she has to admit).

Into this coven of chaos stumbles gorgeous, clueless Josh, their new landlord – and he’s just discovered his tenants haven’t paid rent since the 1700s! As Josh is drawn further into the lives of the inhabitants of Beldam House, Essie is determined to keep him at broomstick’s length. That is, until a family secret, lying hidden for centuries, puts Josh firmly under her spell…

Fun and entertaining story

An interesting, engaging and entertaining story. The romance and magical fantasy elements were neatly interwoven, an interesting cast of characters and some very imaginative details.
The narrator did a good job, too.

Magically funny

Catrin Walker Booth helped bring the humour and personalities of the characters through perfectly. I really enjoyed the book.

An easy listen/read, likeable characters, and fun twists along the way.

I love that historical information was placed in the foundations of the story too!

Thought I would love it

I normally like anything strange and witchy but this was not interesting enough for me to finish. Gave up with 3 hours left. Disappointed

Excellent narration

Not my usual genre as I usually go for gritty novels, but this was a welcomed change. Well read and lighthearted - an enjoyable listen.

Fantastic narration and entertaining story

I loved this book so much, I’ve literally listened to it three times already! Love the narration, it’s absolutely perfectly done and the narrators voice is adding so much to the story without taking over. If you’re into your witchy stuff and a bit of fun romance, this is for you

Hooked

this was my first book from this author and was a bit reluctant to try it. I was blown away by the writing and the performance! I stayed up 4 hours after my usual bed time to listen till the end, no way was I sleeping. great take on witches, funny and entertaining. limited drama which I love!
