I listened to this book as a podiobook. I listened to the first one as well. I am really enjoying the series. Though it is a fantasy novel it is set in modern times and the characters are down to earth and likable. This book had a good story line and mystery to it. The author also manages to give the characters unique personalities and add in some comedy to break things up which I enjoy. Sometimes it can be a bit long winded but it's a easy to get past that when you are listening to a book. This book was actually much more exciting than the first. I especially liked that Ch-U-Ch's two kids were involved. It made the story more lighthearted and dangerous at the same time. I look forward to them being more involved in the next book. I am also eager to see what comes of Jesse and his new love interest Kiki. However there is one little quirk that I can't get my head around. It's the name of the wizard Ch-U-Ch. Everyone else in the book has a normal every day name except for him and I just can't understand why. It wasn't explained in the first book and it wasn't explained in this one. The other was Lord Alex. At first I thought he was a Lord and that's why he was called that but then I realized his first name was Lord. That was another thing that just seemed odd. Every other person in the book in the wizard or folk world have average names but not those 2 and I would love to know why. I know other people have mentioned that they don't like that the full name of the Allavands Witches and Wizards Corner Store is said every time it's mentioned which is often but this doesn't really bother me. It's kind of just a staple of the books. I got used to it and kind of like it. Overall this is a fun series about wizards and witches and Jesse who is a folk that runs a magical supply store but somehow always gets mixed up in the latest action and mystery.
Okay, if a bit messy

Some parts I liked, some I didn't. Overall, it was okay. I liked how the young wizard boys battled with their feelings and how their conflicting emotions about being wizards were described. Many similar stories don't deal with that side at all. There was excitement and action in the plot that I enjoyed. However, in the end it all felt a little messy, the story went all over the place and fell apart a little. Plus the descriptions of female characters were a bit clichéd, they were all just decorative extras, and not very enjoyable to a female listener. Still the reading was done well, although I didn't like the music this time as much as in the first part.

I'm so happy there are two more books to listen to. Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant imagination!! I look forward to the next book, I'm actually starting it tonight. I've become quite attached to the character's. One thing I'm not sure of though...what happened to Jessie's parents? I'm not sure if it was explained in the first book or not. I can't remember if it was, if so I apologize for the silly question. thanks

Hi Cayce and Gail, I am so glad that you are enjoying SSSS. I'm also enjoying recording it very much. Unfortunately, this chapter is a long one, to long for just one episode so I have to divide it into a couple of episodes. Please hang in there and continue ...
So much more..

Let me start off by saying WOW what an improvement! The first book was iffy for me but this one absolutely put me through the roof. I absolutely loved it! Everything I thought was missing from the first was definitely made up for with this and MORE. I'm SO I glad that I continued onward with these. You did a fabulous job here and I look forward to the next...and the next! :)
a few editing issue!

loving the book thus far, but there is missing music in episodes 18 and 22. Instead you just hear the narrator say 'music'. I know Mr. Areces reads these comments so I hope he see's this. really enjoying the story thus far and I am excited for the conclusion!

The use of music and sound effects improved greatly as the story progressed and overall was far less jarring than in the first book's recording. I hope the use of sfx continues to improve further in the next recording.
