Born Magic

The Diary of Scarlett Bernard (Disrupted Magic, Book 4)

By: Melissa F. Olson

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

After the events of Shadow Hunt (and the short story "Nativity," found in Companion Pieces), Los Angeles null Scarlett Bernard finds herself more out of her depth than ever before.

Cleaning up crime scenes and juggling supernatural politics is hard enough, but now Scarlett must face changes to every part of her personal and professional lives. What happens when the world's most powerful null goes on parental leave?

And what will the Old World have waiting for her when she comes back?

This novel-length story is structured as diary entries, recorded by Scarlett as she faces her most terrifying trial yet: motherhood.

I'm so happy i saved this book for a rainy day, and it has legit been raining for daaays. it's been a couple months since i re-listened to all the Lex and Scarlett books, and at the time, i needed a bit of a change. so i saved it and hearing it now, i remembered how much i love Scarlett and Everyone and what an amazing job Amy McFadden does at bringing them all to great life!

Missed this series!

I've always loved Scarlett and her world, so I'm so glad to be back in it again with this book. I also love Amy McFadden. She makes Scarlett and her sarcasm very believable. I really hope I won't have to wait so long for another book in this series! :)

Another Great Book

Loved it!! Another great book by Melissa. I love this whole series and can't wait for the next one.

fantastic!

all the books in this series are just wow, could not stop listening, please read them I recommend it!!

Good content but poor format

I really liked getting to hear Scarlett getting to be a mom, and her humor and sarcasm and all the relatable parts of parenthood. The format of being a journal entry was never as exciting knowing your main character is fine enough to be writing. Constantly referring to Cory brought me out of the story too much. Still happy to have read it but wish it could be re-done.

Mom 🧠

Good story premise, but diary style effects the flow, and it does somewhat detract. Author is great though, so if one has not already been spoiled by her other books, this one won't seem "less spectacular". There IS still an unfolding storyline that holds interest, AND it offers some accurate insights into how motherhood REALLY DOES effect some moms lives personally, professionally, and often unpredictably!

5 stars

Born Magic is different from the other books in this series but it's just as entertaining. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Yet another fun session with Scarlett.

I have flown through this series and not only do I positively adore Melissa's style of writing, but Amy McFadden has hands down become one of my favorite narrators. Her reading and Olson's writing mesh so wonderfully together!

Scarlett Bernard at her finest

what a great way to wrap up some details, and at the same time introduce new characters that I really want to get to know.

I love this series, great author, great storytelling, and a wonderful reader. I re-listen to this whole series at least once per year...wish there were more of them!

Entertaining

Interesting story with a mystery to solve. Annie will likely turn into an incredible paranormal though give Scarlet and team a few heart attacks along the way. The narrator did a good job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.
