Pleasantly Surprised With How Fast I Got Hooked

A lot of books take some building up to get you invested in the characters and their stories.. this book is not one of them. Straight off the bat I found myself engrossed and tied up with the plot development. the main character is well rounded, with emotions and inner monologues that (unless you were born with endless self confidence) is brutally relatable. Tugging on your heart strings and finding yourself rooting for him. throw in the supernatural element and I was totally hooked. I cant wait to read the next in the series and find out what happens next.
*On a side note the narrator Kenneth Obi has a great voice and differentiates between the characters beautifully*
HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK

The story telling and world building is so good in this book. I got easily hooked on the series - I've read all 3 already,
Listening to it and made it all the better. This is down to Kenneth Obi's narration. He really brings the characters to life..
So so enjoyable.

Enjoyable story

I did enjoy the story, however Seb did get on my nerves a bit alway calling Ailin an as*hat, especially when Ailin has alway been so nice to Seb. But I grinned and beared it and the story got better. Great narration, will now listen to book two.

Witches, demons, humans, oh my

The Enchanter’s Flame is book 1 in the Elwood Chronicles by Michele Notaro. I debated for months on when to start this one, out of fear that I wouldn’t like it because this was a new genre for me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This book has everything and more. It has good characters with great dialogue and chemistry, stellar narration, suspense, magic, and even an adorable snake named George (yes, I can’t believe I just described a snake as adorable either).

I can’t say enough good things about the narration. Kenneth Obi knocked this one out the park with his distinctive voices and comic timing. I found myself so wrapped up in the snappy and definitely comical conversations between Seb and Ailin that I almost forgot that I wasn’t actually watching a movie. I can count on one hand the amount of audios I have listened too that I can say that about. Also, I may have listened to Ailin’s baby talk to George about a dozen times because it was hilarious and so, perfectly unexpected.

If you like magic, suspense, and a little romance, then you must listen to this 5⭐️ narrated masterpiece ASAP.

The awaking of the Enchanter

Sebastian was found when his parents died and raised in the Academy. Now he works as a detective and when murder cases grow by the day his boss teams him up with Ailen. A surly and strange man who takes him deeper into a world he never knew existed. Suddenly warlocks, witches and demons are all around him and after him. Why they don't know but that becomes clear when the bonding process between Ailen and Sebastian begin, they are soulmates. Ailen can't do nothing than protect Sebastian with his very own life. This first book in this series introduces us with a different magical world and the bonding between two souls, who at first don't seem to really like eachother. I love where this is going and can't wait to read what's up next. Kenneth Obi does as always an amazing job. He has a whole arsenal of voices and the way he does the demon gives you the creeps.

🎧Kenneth's Audioslaves Reviewer🎧

The Enchanter's Flame(The Ellwood Chronicles, Book 1) by Michele Notaro.I loved this PNR. The story develops nicely. A good combination of world building and character development. It's a slow burn romance. I can't wait to listen to the next one.
The Narrator Kenneth Obi did a fantastic job bringing these characters and story to life.

Gripping from start to finish

This book was so much more exciting than I was expecting. A truly surprising and gripping storyline, full of shocks and twists. Kenneth Obi's narration brings a depth to the characterisation as well as the dramatic effect that makes this such a fun listen. I can't wait fur the next in the series.

Why didn’t I listen to this earlier

I thought this would be a dark and heavy book in the fantasy genre.
It definitely had some dark moments but it was also snarky dialogues and sweet moments.

A human, Sebastian, realizes that the world isn’t what it always has seemed to be when he investigates several murders.

The world building and the storyline is really good. I will definitely listen to book two now!

Ken did a great job with this book, I knew he loved to do creepy voices for eerie creatures. May his legacy of love last forever!
