The North Tower

De: Michelle N. Hagood

Narrado por: Laura Horowitz

Nineteen-year-old Charlie has been dealt a bad hand from the day she was born. Found in a trash can as a baby, she's been shipped from one foster home to another, each one worse than the last. When she's offered an escape, she takes it. But fate isn’t ready to be kind just yet.

After a brutal car crash, Charlie is dragged into an unfamiliar world of magic with promises of a fresh start at the Magisterium of Magic, a prestigious school for the rich and entitled. Here, she’s told that she’s a Royal, a member of the highest tier of Magic Users, with the kind of power most people would do anything to steal or control.

When a student abruptly leaves and she catches the School Master lying about it, she starts to question if the motives of her rescuers are pure. Or do these devious liars have a darker reason for finding her?

With the help of a crew of troublemakers, Charlie dives into one of the magic world's oldest mysteries, the death in the North Tower and the cunning ghost who haunts it. The identity of the ghostly woman and truth about the student’s departure could help Charlie decide who she can trust. Or it could prove that she should have trusted her instincts all along.

More of this kind of magic!

Such a cool take on a magical world. So many characters that are intriguing and tragic and leaves you wanting an entire book dedicated to the backstory for each one. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Loved!!

Frantically waiting for book 2, trying to research when it may drop 😭! I’m dying, lol! Can’t wait!

Loved! Harry Potter world vibes

Great characters and world development. Ready for book 2 and more details on the magic.

The fact that Charlie kept fighting her own demons

For me it started a little slow, but soon after it literally kept me riveted. I wish the second book was on audible. Great job on the story.

A More Mature Harry Potter Story

The magic school and the adventure certainly remind me of Harry Potter. But while Harry Potter has a certain lightheartedness (at least in the first 3 books), this story begins with tragedy, builds on a more mature/sophisticated magic structure, runs on adrenaline, and leaves you in perpetual suspense. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I am excited for the next story.

Kept me wanting more

even though I had already read the book in physical form, the story kept me hooked and engaged. the performance was true to the story
