Good Neighbors: The Full Collection

Written by Stephanie Burgis

Narrated by Emma Newman

When a grumpy inventor meets her outrageous new neighbor in the big black castle down the road, more than one type of spark will fly!

Mia Brandt knows better than to ever again allow her true powers to be discovered. Ever since her last neighbors burned down her workshop in a night of terror and flame, she’s been determined to stay solitary, safe, and – to all outside appearances – perfectly respectable…

But Leander Fabian, whose sinister castle looms over her new cottage, has far more interesting – and dangerous – ideas in mind. When he persuades Mia into a reluctant alliance, she finds herself swept into an exhilarating world of midnight balls, interfering countesses, illicit opera house expeditions, necromantic duels, and a whole unnatural community of fellow magic-workers and outcasts, all of whom are facing a threat more dangerous than any she’s confronted before.

It’s a good thing that Mia has her own unnatural powers to wield for all of their sakes – but even her unique skills may not be enough to protect her new found family and help her resist the wickedly provoking neighbor who’s seen through all of her defensive shields from the beginning.

Reviews for Good Neighbors

[goleh · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I think the story is quirky and probably fun to read? but the narrator, I simply don’t understand what’s going on with her? Is this her style?
Her monotonie voice either puts one off or to sleep.

[Nancy Vieth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story of trust, love, and home. The amazing narrator did a wonderful job and her British accent made the story even more special.

[Sam Ashish · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book filled with magic and ...everything else including romance. The narrator is great too.

[Sheena Gurbakhash · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A really feel good read.
Take one grumpy heroine with metal magic powers, introduce one too-cool necromancer and throw them together to watch sparks fly. More than just a romance, this is a book about acceptance, social justice, tolerance and facing your fears. All the characters grow and evolve through the course of the book.
Superb.
The only thing I disliked about it was the slowness of the reading.
