About this listen
Huntsmen, according to the Church, were damned, their blood unclean, unholy. Yet for Rosemary and Aaron Harker the Church was less important than being ready to stand against the Uncanny as not being prepared could lead to being dead.
The year is 1913. America—and the world—trembles on the edge of a modern age. Political and social unrest shift the foundations; technology is beginning to make its mark.
But in the shadows, things from the past still move. Things inhuman, uncanny.
And the Uncanny are no friend to humanity.
But when Aaron and Rosemary Harker go to investigate the suspicious death of a distant relative, what they discover could turn their world upside down—and change the Huntsmen forever

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 207
In the world’s most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still think fairies are nothing but stories, and that’s exactly how the fairies like it. It’s a lot easier to feast on humanity’s dreams when no one believes you exist. But while this arrangement works splendidly for most fair folk, Lola isn’t one of the lucky ones.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does.

A Fun Rollercoaster (+ Tech Issues)
Holy crow.
"Everything is a myth until it kills someone."
I inhaled this book in a day. It reminded me of my favorite series, the Veronica Speedwell mysteries, mashed with one of my favorite shows, Supernatural. Following sibling Huntsmen Rosemary and Aaron, the author perfectly captures the ins and outs of sibling rivarly AND affection all while performing such casual things like...trying to kill something before it kills you.
The humor in this book is subtle and perfect. The uncanny range from inconvenient to downright terrifying. I really thought I knew what happened and had prided myself in solving the mystery...until that wasn't it at all. There is zero romance in this book, but as a lover of romance I only realized that after. This mystery keeps you guessing up until the very end!
Oh yeah, there's a dog! Botheration is my new favorite book beastie.
The two narrators did an amazing job and perfectly captured both characters.
(Note - Audible should be fixing this any day, but the chapters were initially put into Audible out of order. Clicking through real quick can confirm if your copy has this issue. When I reached out to OrangeSky, they (as well as Spotify) had it in the correct order, and I left five stars as this was no fault of the author or performers.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
