A little 💎

I'm writing this review whilst downloading book 2. As a die hard fan of crime fiction, physiological thrillers and the odd bit of historical fiction thrown in, it is a rare occurrence for me to browse other genre's. Every once in a while my mind gets bogged down with all the usual stuff involved in my favourite kind of story and I need a break from the norm. This little gem is just the job.

I'm a woman of a certain age who was hooked on watching Charned and similar magical TV series when I was younger and I am a huge Potter fan. I sometimes crave a little bit of magic to lighten the load and love when I take a chance on a new author and series and it really delivers.

I'm hooked. The story line and characters are captivating and I found myself immersed in them from the start. Its not magical spells at the ready with wands waving and beasts battling. The magical element is much more subtle (at least so far) which lends to believability. No spoilers from me!

I'm moving swiftly on to book 2, I can't wait to see how things develop and watch the characters grow.

A round of applause to the narrator who just brings it all together and adds a little bit of glow.

A very strong first book in what I an sure us going to be a great series xx

Enjoyable book, unfortunate narration

I’ve read a lot of “urban fantasy” and this is a really good one :-) The story is well written, clips along at a good pace, is a very interesting premise and sets the scene for the rest of the series. However, I think I’m going to have to read the books rather than listen, as the narrator has a very odd dramatic tone - kind of almost-apologetic - which doesn’t suit the main character at all, and detracted from the experience for me. She does have a very pleasant voice and can obviously act, so I can only assume it was a dramatic choice, but it did really put me off :-/

Easy read, but not very novel

I have no idea which was written first, but I can't help thinking that this might well have been somewhat inspired or influenced by the Rivers of London series with the main character's self deprocating humour, and discovery of a world of magic and wonder hidden in plain sight on the streets of London. I preferred Rivers of London, but perhaps that's just because I happened across it first.

Boring

Sorry, I did try. Listened to the whole non eventful story. Narrator didn't hold my interest. I can easily forget it. Not my sort of thing. However, it's good to try new things.
I wouldn't want to buy the following on.

The start of a Crow Investigations addiction.

I adore the adventures and discovery with Lydia, Jason and the rest. Can't wait for more of the same.
