The Binding Witch and the Bounty Hunter

The Kate Roark Magic Series, Book 2

By: Laura Rich

Narrated by: Jessica Klimushyn

Kate thought she’d never unlock her powers - let alone trigger them by creating a familiar out of a cross-eyed pigeon.

Before she can celebrate the good news, a terrifying bounty hunter kidnaps her mother. In a race against time to save her mother, Kate runs afoul of a dragon, and even worse, the most feared creatures in existence: the dreaded forest gnomes. To top it all off, she discovers long-lost magical family members who maybe should have stayed lost.

Kate is finally a witch - but it just might kill her.

If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and iZombie, you’ll be rooting for this strong, snarky teen girl at every moment.

This book was ok

As far as the story went I got a little bored with the storyline. I normally love listening to YA books but I feel like this was a little more for younger teens. Not sure if this is one of the narrators first books or not but I could hear her taking in breaths which was slight but still noticable. Also, not sure about the room it was recorded in but it didn't sound like it was well prepped for recording. I did like the narrators voice and would not mind trying another book narrated by her. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

ENJOYED VERY MUCH!

I would definitely recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth a credit. Great narration.

lovely

though I know this book is the second book in the series I can see that only the second book was recorded and as a standalone it was a wonderful story I loved it very much I haven't read the first story on Kindle so even if I missed something I don't know and this is what I love about stand-alones in a series it's very important for the book to be a real stand-alone story without you feeling the lack of information this story was very interesting and not long it was a fast and very good book

Great Sequel

This book was quite a bit longer than the first and just as enjoyable. The story unfolds quickly and sometimes moves almost too fast, but if you remember that it is intended for a young adult audience it makes sense. This also applies to the seeming immaturity of the main character and some of the dialog. It was very easy to forget at times that the target audience is teenagers. It will be interesting to see if Ms. Rich extends into adult fiction in the future.

This installment had a different narrator than the first and while I enjoyed her adept use of voices for the characters, there were some voices that were quite a bit grating. However, the one that bothered me the most I came to think was quite intentional as the character is, shall we say, not of first choice and therefore is likely annoying to the protagonist as well. Thus, adding a bit more of an annoying voice to that character will allow the reader to remember that tension throughout the book. Whether this was intentional or not on the part of the narrator, I’m not sure; but I like to think so.

I am eager to see where this series goes as this installment added many more layers and background to the first and opens up a wide range of avenues for Ms. Rich to explore.

I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

Great story

I received this book for free at my request but the opinion is of my own. Kate is back dealing with sudden emergence of finally getting magic, her mom being kidnapped, trying to deal with newfound powers, and learning information she never knew. Kate deals with many obstacles in order to save her mom and many surprises along the way. Awesome second book to this hopeful series as I can’t wait to hear more.
