Kat Dubois Chronicles, Book 1

By: Lindsey Fairleigh

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Length: 6 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

A whole new series from the world of the Echo Trilogy.

Three years ago, the gods abandoned us. We've been alone ever since.

Kat Dubois is immortal, and she's retired. She's long since hung up her sword and left assassinating immortals to someone else...anyone else. She's now a hard drinking, sass-flinging Seattle tattoo artist with the innate ability to read people's fortunes using her charmed deck of tarot cards. Her days of bloodshed are over, and she has nothing but time - an eternity, in fact - to hide from her past.

Until someone from her past shows up on her doorstep with news that her beloved older brother and mentor, Dominic, has gone missing. Kat may be the only person with the right skills - and access to the right magic - to track him down. She must confront her past if she's to have any chance of finding and saving her brother. She must fight her demons. She must embrace the power within her.

She must become the Ink Witch.

MUCH better than the reviews suggested!!

I love that this story centers on Egyptian mythology. I LOVE Supernatural fantasy/urban fantasy, but generally it's all either Greek mythology or the usual vampires, shifters, witches stories. I REALLY enjoyed that this strayed from the norm.

The only thing I didn't care for is I don't know much about the mythology. Like the words they're using for soul and whatever "ot and anti ot" were. Since it's an Audible book I couldn't really Google "ot"

However, I do think this could be rectified by the other series that comes before this. The author mentions it on her website but says it's not necessary to read both to understand them both. But since that series came first I feel like there may be explanations there. I definitely enjoyed this story enough to "read" that series by the same author. Then I'll continue with this series.

All in all I feel it's really well written. I did see a few other reviews complaining about sex and swearing, unless you're from a convent this shouldn't really be that horrifying for you. If you're extremely prude-like, don't read it. But honestly it's not as bad as some others have said idk what they're lives are like but my best guess is bland.

Ink Witch

Excellent story. Narrator did an excellent job. Looking forward to the next book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes this type of story.

Loved It.

Kept me coming back chapter after chapter. Can't wait to start the next book now.

Entertainingly story...Wrong narrator is listed

Sophie Eastlake is the narrator, not Julia Whelan. Great narration...Story is entertaining, though there are some gaps since I didn't read the previous series.

very enjoyable

This was a great book to listen to. I loved every minute of it. Highly recommend.

Awesome

This whole series was awesome. The characters where brought to life perfectly by Lindsey Day (the reader)!! I couldn’t put the books on hold!! I read the whole series in 2 days!!

Excellent narrator for a great story!

If you could sum up Ink Witch in three words, what would they be?

If you haven't read/listened to the Echo in Time trilogy (plus 2 novellas), I think you'll enjoy this but will be missing a lot of the backstory. This is a fantastic continuation of the Echo in Time series, where Kat was introduced. Very excited for the next installment (already started it!)

What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?

The narrator is fantastic!! She does a great job with the different characters and gives life to Kat's insouciance from the novel; not an easy feat to combine the angst of teenager with an immortal 18-year-old. I hope that she continues to narrate the other 2 novels in this series (I think a 4th is due this summer, hope she does that one too!)

Loved it ❤️

This is a great book to listen too. I couldn't turn it off! Can not wait to listen to the next one. The narrator does an amazing job and the story is very catching! I bought the second book when I was only half way through. Listen or read it, it's a must!

Good story line

Main character has a lot of growing to do, but author has given her plenty of room. Can’t wait until she is a more sure of herself and her intentions.

I loved Kat when I read the Echo Trilogy & I am so excited that she has her own series. I will say, I strongly suggest reading the Echo Trilogy before starting this series. It will give you some great backstory before diving into this own.

Kat is a Netjeret, a race of immortals who live among the humans. I love how this world has ties to Egyptian mythology & we get to see some of that again in this book. Due to events in the Echo Trilogy (again, I suggest reading this one first), Kat is stuck forever as a 18 year old, hormone joys at all.

This book revolves around Kat trying to find her brother that is missing, along with a number of other Netjerers.

We also get Nik back in this book & oh boy, the tension.

I can’t wait to see where this series goes next.
