About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret society skilled in a very particular art. That is to say—although it mustn't be said too loudly—witchcraft.
When rumours of the long-lost amulet of Black Beryl start to circulate, it is up to Charlotte to make sure this powerful talisman doesn't get into the wrong hands.
Which is precisely what happens when the evil Lady Armitage gets her grip on it.
When Charlotte demands the help of the rakish pirate Alex O'Riley, they both set off to find the amulet.
But there is one problem—pirates and witches are sworn enemies and to be seen with one would surely break the Witchcraft Code?
And that's before sparks begin to fly....
The Princess Bride meets Jane Austen in this joyously romantic caper which follows two enemies turned allies who must uncover a power jewel and may just discover a forbidden love along the way....

Another Great Tale
Thoroughly enjoyed the second book of the series. Going straight in to buy the third now.
I love the humour and light heartedness of these books. They are easy to listen to and the characters are a joy to get to know.
The Narrator is brilliant and you never get confused as to which of the characters are speaking.
Thoroughly recommended for the true lovers of romantic fantasy.

Hilarious, imaginative, and glorious
I stumbled upon this series a while back and fell instantly in love! It's like Jane Austen meets Douglas Adams, with a bit of smutty romance thrown in. The puns are clever and subtle, the characters are fantastic (and fantastical), and the narrator is stupendous. I cannot recommend these enough to anyone who might like a funny Jane Austen novel!

Good fun
A wild and crazy adventure and lots of lighthearted fun. I was rooting for the heroine from the start and you can't help but like the main characters. The narration is perfect. This is not my usual type of audio book - I'm glad I took a chance on it.

Charlotte and Alex
I preferred book 2 to 1. Think in large to do with both Alex and Charlotte being a lot more interesting and fun. Plus the tension between them was so much better. I enjoyed the blend from book 1 of all the characters too

Bloody brilliant!
So India Holten has reminded me, in some ways, of reading Terry Pratchett - that is not a small amount of praise. Her characters were great in this, and with more time I think they’d only develop depth. The humour was great, it just made me giggle. There was an air of danger at times which just balanced things nicely. It didn’t air on the sadness and pathos that some books have but that’s ok, because this wasn’t those books. It was very sweet, touching, funny, romantic, completely daft, heartening and I really liked the characters. I will absolutely be reading more.
