About this audiobook

*NOW A MAJOR SKY TV SERIES.*

THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. A Discovery of Witches is the first in the must-have, must-read ALL SOULS series.

It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches.

Diana Bishop, a young scholar and descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she must navigate with a vampire, Matthew Clairmont.

This manuscript, Ashmole 782, holds the secrets of their past . . . and the key to their future.

'Rich, thrilling . . . captivating' E L James

'Intelligent and off-the-wall' The Sunday Times

'I could lose myself in here and never want to come out' Manda Scott

This was unbearable. I'm a fantasy/romance girl but the romance in this was so controlling and misogynistic I found myself hating both parties. she was honestly one of the most boring heroins I've ever had the displeasure of reading about. I will be honest, I did not finish listening to this book and I think I have only ever not finished 1-2 books before this for sheer disappointment and frustration with the story.

Desperate copy of Twilight/Sabrina mix! A lot of blabing around about the same thing, if zoned out for an hour you wont have missed anything. Predictable as storry is literally the same.
