World-famous (and now retired) photographer Jenvieve Adams has a debt to repay - and a soft spot for modern witches who have lost their way. Or so she thinks, until they actually show up.

The other is a grown-up juvenile delinquent with a passion for words and a kick-ass biscuit recipe. Can Jennie help unlock their hearts?

Why change narrator midstream?
What made the experience of listening to Witches on Parole the most enjoyable?
That's just it, the narrator did not enhance the story in the slightest. The narrator of the main stories, Martha Harmon Pardee, does a fantastic job with voices, intonation, and pacing. She is a big part of the pleasure of listening to the charming Modern Witch stories.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Aervyn. This is the sole character I thought the narrator 'nailed'. She did capture the extreme youth of the four-year-old witchling and brought him to life nicely. I wish he had more of a presence in this storyline.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Madeleine Lambert?
Martha Harmon Pardee!
Any additional comments?
I'll buy the two remaining stories of this trilogy to complete the series, especially at the author has discontinued writing about these characters, but listening to them will probably only happen when I'm between new audiobooks.
Narration was not pleasing to the ear.
I'm sure that Madeleine Lambert did her best, but monotone narration was never my thing, and the total departure of voices did not lend itself to pleasant listening.
Good book, poor narrator
Any additional comments?
This is a delightful book, but I found the narrator so annoying that I will not get the other audiobooks in this mini series. I'll read them, just not listen to them. The narrator for the other books (Modern Witch series, Witch Central series) is so delightful and captures children, male, and female voices delightfully. Here it felt really fake when the narrator was trying to do a man's voice, and she made Nat's voice overly yoga-dramatic. It definitely detracted from the story for me.
Only my love of these charming and full-of-love witch books kept me through til the end. Otherwise I would have stopped after an hour.
Purchase the print version and skip the audio.
Why change narrator? ; ;
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was a well use of time since I liked the story when I read it before.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Witches on Parole?
One of the most memorable things that I remember was when Lizard starts to seek out what she deserves.
Would you be willing to try another one of Madeleine Lamberts performances?
Not at this time she is a different narrator then all of Debora Geary's other books. I have heard all of Geary's other books and was happy with Martha Harmon Pardee's performance and all of the voices of the characters sound really strange with the new narrator.
Great if you like the other Witch books!
Where does Witches on Parole rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
A very solid start to the spin-off series. I'm fond of the 'A Modern Witch' series and this doesn't disappoint.
