À propos de cet audio

An unforgettable, high-stakes, laugh-out-loud funny novel, The Witchstone blends the merciless humor of The Good Place with the spellbinding fantasy of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway. Unfortunately, his division has new management, and Laszlo’s ratings are so abysmal that he’s given six days to shape up or he’ll be melted down and returned to the Primordial Ooze.

Meet Maggie Drakeford, nineteen-year-old Curse Bearer. All she’s ever known is the dreary corner of the Catskills where the Drakeford Curse has devoured her father’s humanity and is rapidly laying claim to her own. The future looks hopeless, until Laszlo appears at the Drakeford farmhouse one October night and informs them that they have six days—and six days only—to break the spell before it becomes permanent. Can Maggie trust the glib and handsome Laszlo? Of course not. But she also can’t pass up an opportunity to save her family, even if it means having a demon as a guide …

Thus begins a breakneck international adventure that takes our unlikely duo from a hot dog stand in Central Park to the mountains of Liechtenstein. As the clock ticks down, tough-as-nails Maggie and conniving Laszlo will uncover a secret so profound that what began as a farcical quest to break a curse will eventually threaten the very Lords of Hell.

I loved everything about this book and the narration absolutely made the book even better, in fact I would insist this be listened to as opposed to read.
The descriptions, characters, and scenes played perfectly in my head like I was watching the movie.
100% recommend treating yourself to this book and giving it your undivided attention and allow yourself to be immersed fully!

A MUST LISTEN

I liked the story line, characters, and narrator. Begins seriously but then takes a turn as introduced to the characters. A journey begins with a great humorous twist and comes to a grand finish!

Serious with fun

I loved the world building, the characters, the plot, everything. The story is original and clever. It was well paced, there wasn't a slow point. I really liked this book; I kinda hope the author writes another story in this world.

wonderful original story

Funny, heartwarming, exciting adventure, wry satire, this really ticked every box for me. Very different in many ways from Neff’s previous work (love his past stuff but a refreshing change of pace) and yet it still carries his particular voice throughout, blending levity with poignant honesty to craft complicated, very human characters (even when technically not human at all). Thoroughly enjoyed this one and crossing my fingers for a sequel!

Complicated anti-heroes you hate to love!

As a long time fan of Neff's previous book, and having transitioned into adulthood alongside the cast of the Tapestry, it was amazing to read another outstanding book by Neff that caters to an older audience.

The Witchstone is a great read with a fascinating storyline and fantastic characters. If you're on the fence about this book, I highly recommend a listen. You'll love the characters and their banter!

This is a good that is going immediately to the topic my "always good for a re-read" list. I had to start listening to the audiobook on release day, and can't wait to get my signed copy in the mail! Thanks again for a great book, Henry!

Mesmerizing, hilarious, and endearing - everything you could want from a fiction book!

Good voice acting and characters. Plot was alright. As a whole I'd rate it above average but nothing spectacular.

A nice story

This was such an entertaining story. it was well-narrated, with a single reader who voiced the different characters well. Between the writing and the voice acting, it kept me engaged from start to finish - there was never a lull or dip in the momentum of the narrative. This isn't a genre I'm drawn to (I bought the it on sale after reading all the positive reviews). I'm so glad I did, What a great listen! I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

A thrilling, somewhat PG family comedy-adventure with witty dialog, twists, turns, and outstanding narration

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.

The narration is Oscar worthy or whatever awards narrators get. The story itself is not exactly laugh out loud, as had been advertised, but has a witty and sometimes satirical turn of phrase. I found myself increasingly involved in the adventure/action and quite sad when the tale came to an end. The ending (no spoilers) did, however, leave me hoping that there could be a sequel at the very least. I really feel the characters should share more adventures with their new reader fans.

Gripping horror/fun adventure, brilliantly narrated

A lot of fun moments to be found in this fast-paced fiendish adventure. There were enough unexpected twists to keep things fresh and the narrator was outstanding.

Definitely worth a listen!

The narrator is one of the very best. Thank you for honing and sharing your skill 😊

The narrator is just amazing
