Outfox

Sentry of the South, Book 2

By: Annabel Chase

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

No good deed goes unpunished....

For years, my family was in possession of the top half of an ancient sword. Now this dangerous artifact has been stolen, and it’s up to me to recover it. With the help of my friends, I must follow the trail of clues to find both halves of the sword before they can be reforged. When my investigation leads me to an Elvis-impersonating vampire, a magic carpet lizard, and a homicidal banshee with no regard for the Fountains of Bellagio, I know I’m in for a rough ride.

My magic is the only thing that stands between absolute power and preservation. Can I prevent history from recurring or are we doomed to repeat it?

Outfox is an urban fantasy mystery with humor, action and adventure, a powerful heroine, and a charming yet unlikely hero.

awesome storyline

The story is awesome, but sometimes the narrative is a bit confusing. considering the narrator uses the same voice with the main character, and others at the same time. it would be better if she would actually separate all the characters, but I guess you get what you pay for

whinny little girl

MC is unwilling to see any short comings in her or her grandmother's past and takes every moment to cry about. adapt over and be better is not being taught to this young lady, but whines and pouts and through tantrums when confronted. Mostly a good listen but as a parent listening to this is frustrating.

Heroine is Pretty Snotty and Smug

First of all, I don’t dislike the story and the narration is quite good … however the main character is pretty self absorbed. She shows little respect for anyone. She belittles those around her constantly. That is not a sign of confidence, rather just the opposite. I’m sure the author didn’t intend that but it really makes the heroine unappealing. I found myself wishing someone would kick her butt to bring her down a notch. I’d say it’s very unlikely I will root for her. It’s a bit sad when you can’t relate to a character.

If you want a series that you’re not especially vested in, this one is for you. Just enjoy the story without an emotional attachment.

Entertaining and fun story

Great listening, fun story of a group of special witches, and uniquely skilled friends on a mission to find a special sword of great power. Fun

like the story.

so I love the story, but I'm starting to dislike the main character. also, some things seemed to be skipped that shouldn't have been.

Outfox is an enjoyable story.

The story is enjoyable. However, I feel it was written for a teenager audience. Additionally, the "I said, she said, he said" is very irritating when listening to the narration being read.

ok it's a good story

however the cockyness has got to go. I get that she's trying to honor her family and trying to bring them back from shame. maybe it's just me but i hate arrogance.

Enjoyed

I enjoyed this series. This book continues on from book 1. talking crows,dwarfs, ice giants, wizards,witches guardians.

Captivating
