Rebel Witch: A New Immortals Universe Novel

House of Magic, Book 1

De: Ariel Hunter

Narrado por: Elle Sonali

There’s only one thing you really need to know about the world I come from: The witch council is as archaic and backward in their ways as they are powerful.

So, when they arrange for me to marry the most powerful warlock in the world so that I can give them magic babies, I do what any sensible 24-year old would do.

I run. Or, at least, I try to. Turns out, when push comes to shove, they’re willing to bargain on the whole marriage thing.

To keep my life the way I like it, I just have to do one little thing: claim my powers. Easier said than done when the unruly power awakened inside of me is a magic that shouldn’t exist.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, my mystic meant to guide me through the change is the very warlock I was supposed to marry. Now, I’m faced with another bargain, and this time, there’s no getting out of it.

Train with Callan and learn how to control my magic...or face the council’s wrath.

One of these things is sure to end in my demise. The other? I give it a 50-50 shot.

Rebel Witch is the first book in the House of Magic series, an enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance with humor and some steam. It contains a strong alpha male who protects and respects his woman.

Awesome story!

Pink magic reeled me in and man am I glad it did! This is a fantastic story. That end guaranteed I'll be listening to the next one!

Nice Urban Fantasy

This is a nice introduction to a new Urban Fantasy series. it has everything you could possibly want, witches, surfers, and fierce friendships. an entertaining read/listen.

oh my stars☆☆☆☆

I received this book for free for a honest review.  I loved the characters and storyline. I cannot wait to see where the story goes. it flowed very well and held together.  The chargers were amazing and the narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.  HIGHLY reccomend

This book rocked

Rebel Witch was awesome. Marnie is a witch and the witch council wants her to marry, but when she tries to run they make a deal, accept her powers and train them with Callan the man she was supposed to marry. I really loved Callan alot and cant wait to see what will grow between him and Marnie

Fun new series!

This is my second series by this talented author and this new series is just as good as the previous one. The story sucked me in right away and kept me entertained all the way through.

Marnie is a very relatable main character. Who wants to be told who to marry and what to do with their lives?! I totally get her rebellious nature and her need for paving her own path.

Narration is well done and brought the story to life.

I didn’t care for Callan at first but he definitely grew on me. How can I not like someone so sweet and willing to help out our heroine at every corner?! He truly seems to have Marnie’s best interest at heart.

Once I started reading, I could not put it down! It is a very captivating story with some unexpected twists and turns I did not see coming. I’m looking forward to finding out what will happen next.

Fun, Quick, And Interesting Read!

This was exactly what I was expecting it to be: a fun, quick, and interesting read! Though I felt like I was missing a lot of background to the universe the author created because quite a bit about it didn't make much sense. For example the Witch Council. They seemed to be mean for the sake of being mean. I'd like to know where the basis for all these antiquated rules came from and why they've been kept in place all these years. Also, Marnie's mom for supposedly being an all-powerful witch was really incompetent for 90% of the story and that bothered me.

Marnie was handed a crappy situation on top of a crappy situation all against her better judgment. Her mother is the real villain in this story because she's the one who pushed until she got what she wanted all the while not maintaining her promise from the beginning. I understand Marnie's frustration with the arranged marriage. She's not necessarily against it, she just doesn't want anyone pushing it on her. She's rebelling because she feels trapped and it sucks to see her going through everything and not being able to get out of it.

Callan was not what I was expecting him to be. He was actually nothing but understanding, patient, and sweet to Marnie. He stood up for her when things got rough and helped her out in a few very big ways. The balance the author struck in him was great to see. He wasn't overtly pushy but he wasn't meek by any means. I actually ended up liking him very much!

The ending was sort of anti-climatic considering I didn't know the big-bad that was supposedly coming. This is where the world-building would have benefitted me. Due to that fact I didn't know much about this world for fear the author wanted to strike in me to hit.

The Audio Book:

The narration was overall great but I would have liked to see more of a range in male voices from the narrator. She made Callan more soft-spoken than I expected (and even though it worked for me it may not work for everyone). When there were 2 or more men having a conversion I did get lost. There were no strange background noises in the recording but there were a few very distinct times where I would hear the mic trying to capture noises in the room (in quiet moments) where this was being recorded. Though it didn't affect the narration in any way it was just a detail that I noticed.

* I was given this free review audiobook copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Really enjoyed this one!

Our MC, Marnie, took a little bit to grow on me with her attitude, but I really liked her by the end. The magic was interesting, as was the magical society and council that come with it.

While I wished Marnie would take a bit more responsibility for her magic when it got out of hand, I also think that was part of her character growth. She’s resistant to magic and didn’t want any part of it, so it’s not going to be something she takes too easily. She was pretty stubborn and wild and that obviously comes out in how her magic displays as well.

While I liked the whole book, the last third really picked up and made me want to continue on with the series. The ending has me intrigued and I’m excited to see where Marnie and Callan go from here!

Amazing

Wow what a great story, from the start it had me hooked. looking forward to getting the second one straight away.

Rebel Witch

I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the FMC stood up for herself and what she wanted. The storyline was great and very entertaining. I really liked the different colors of magic. Can't wait to see what will happen next. Elle Sonali did a amazing job narrating.

Fun story

I liked the overall story and the world the author created. My only complaint is the main character was kind of annoying. But overall a fun read.i was given a free copy for an honest review.
