Witchbane Series, Book 1

By: Morgan Brice

Narrated by: Kale Williams

Seth Tanner and his brother Jesse's fun evening debunking local urban legends ends with Jesse's gruesome murder. Seth vows revenge on Jesse's killer - too bad the murderer has been dead for a hundred years.

Seth uncovers a cycle of ritual killings that feed the power of a dark warlock's immortal witch-disciples, and he's hell bent on stopping Jackson Malone from becoming the next victim. He's used to risking his neck. He never intended to risk his heart.

Good story. Good narration.

This story is another one of increasingly more common urban fantasy series that sets a team on a quest to hunt monsters that are harming unsuspecting folks.

The characters are engaging, the setting is decent, the plot has some interesting developments, and the romance is steamy.

I would like to see some more vivid descriptions of scenery, monsters, and fights. One of the perks of writing urban fantasy stories is the opportunity to show the reader something new or unique. This is just the first book so I hope the author takes advantage of this opportunity more in the rest of the series because I like the descriptions of regular urban settings.

Kale Williams adds some flavor to the story with his narration, and I look forward t listening to the entire series.

Great Story

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. Seth is determined to get redemption for his brother’s death. I really enjoyed listening to this story the narrator did an excellent job at keeping it interesting.

Too repetitive

The same phrases are used over and over again. I found myself in a constant state of dejavu. Good narration.

Bring the Supernatural

Kale Williams was outstanding!
Now add the book that talks about the supernatural and adventure and I’m lost for hours. Can’t wait to continue the series!

Lots of Drama

The story was all right when it came to the mystery plot but tanked in the romance department. The relationship drama got to be too much and I was rolling my eyes so hard because these guys only knew each other for a couple of days. I did not like Evan. His inner thoughts and hostility was over the top, leading to his to stupid to live decision. This series is not for me and I will not be continuing.

Fanfiction with a budget

First of all, another stellar performance by Kale Williams. The identity of Jackson Malone was a surprise i didn't see coming, though the identity of Valek wasn't a surprise, the identity of the secondary antagonist really threw me for a loop, so Kudos there. I was drawn to this book, by the plot, but was disappointed to find after 8 chapters all I seemed to be hearing was how attractive the two male leads were, it certainly wasn't enough for me to stop listening, but it did get to the point where i briefly forgot what the plot of the book was. All in all, I am highly invested in these characters and will listen to the sequels.

Amazing Read!!!

This is now one of my favorite reads! The background, the characters, the plot. The story is so intricately written! So much going on yet so easy to follow. The narrators voice was very calming to read too!

Great story

This series has an excellent premise and is very well told. Kale's voice is perfect for it

MMy Thoughts and Review:

In researching this series I noticed a theme among reviewers...the beginning held a “Supernatural” vibe. However, one has only to briefly scan the blurb to know that is totally where any similarity begins and ends. Please excuse my totally irreverent snicker…

Witchbane held me tight with the warm timbre of Kale Williams' voice giving life to Morgan's characters. My heart went out to Seth, the brother left behind who had turned into a veritable vagabond who lived only to hunt the monsters that had killed his brother and taken away his life.

Evan is hiding from a stalker ex, to the point of having changed his name and moved to a new city. He tends bar, and goes home. Keeping life simple and living under the radar are his only desires at the moment. He never knew meeting Seth Tanner would be the best worst thing that would happen to his boring life. Or that he would end up saving Evan and Evan would end up saving him right back…

I'm super thrilled to start this new journey with Morgan's Witchbane Series. I am very much looking forward to all the stops Seth's RV will make along the way.
