Summary

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content.

However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses.

It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body a cover model would be proud of, but as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch work.

And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.

I didn't want it to end.

Would you listen to Slouch Witch again? Why?

Yes, it's funny and I love the main character. I'm embarrassed by how much I relate to her.

What did you like best about this story?

The humour, sarcasm and overall the relaxed nature of the tale. Also I was pleasantly surprised that the author managed to avoid all the clichés and trappings that are typical of this genre. I think this story might be original. Original to an extent; new twist to the same old tale. I dunno, I liked the book. I will be giving Helen Harper all my coins.

Which character – as performed by Tanya Eby – was your favourite?

ALL.
