About this listen
The year is 1880. Two hundred years after the trials in Salem, witches Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St Clair finally feel safe and have opened a tea shop in Manhattan, specialising in cures, palmistry and potions.
When an enchanting young woman called Beatrice joins the witches as an apprentice, she soon proves indispensable, but her new life is marred by strange occurrences. She sees things no one else can see. She hears voices no one else can hear. Objects appear out of thin air, as if gifts from the dead. Has she been touched by magic, or is she simply losing her mind?
Amidst the witches' tug-of-war over how best to nurture her gifts, Beatrice disappears - but was it by choice or by force? In the desperate search, the witches are confronted by spectres from their own pasts. In a time when women were corseted, confined and committed for merely speaking their minds, were any of them really safe?

Excellent Story!
Fantastic! However, the narrator took away from essence of the story with the voices and pronunciation of specific words. Im a big fan of Ami McKay but I really had to push through and get over the voice acting to enjoy the book. I would not listen to another audio book with this narrator.

Distracting narration
I quite enjoyed the story. Some plot holes don't get filled, though.
I would recommend reading this instead of listening to it. How I wish narrators did not feel compelled to create goofy voices for each character!! Her reading is competent, but oh! Those cartoon voices....

A nice amount of feminism
Great story! I love witch tales and this book didn't disappoint! I found the notes of women power and feminism just enough to not overpower the story line. Good characters and good performance!

Mediocre all around
The characters are very lackluster, and the plot is predictable. The narrator was quite terrible when she tried to do accents, or pretty much any of the voices.

Great story but…
Great story, very interesting and imaginative but the narrator’s voices for female characters drove me nuts and always took me out of the story because they sounded so juvenile and cartoonish for what should be the voices of adult women. This is one I wish I had bought in paper copy.

Great story, Cringy Narrator
Loved the book but found this narrator very cringy. The audience of the book is meant to be older but the way it’s narrated felt more for children.

Move the story along faster please.
Interesting story but takes too many wordy words to get anywhere. Then I realized it was book one of a trilogy…

struggled to finish
The narration was great, but the story lacked scene description, or description of characters. I prefer more sensory prompts as it makes me feel as if I'm there. This is just my preference. I felt like it was written more like a movie script than a book.
