About this listen
They’ll lure you in with fruit and gems and liquor and dancing, merriment to remember for the rest of your life. But that’s an illusion. The market is death itself.
Beneath the streets of York, the goblin market calls to the Wickett women—the family of witches that tends to its victims. For generations, they have defended the old cobblestone streets with their magic. Knowing the dangers, they never entered the market—until May Wickett fell for a goblin girl, accepted her invitation, and became inextricably tied to the world her family tried to protect her from. The market learned her name, and even when she and her sister left York for Boston to escape it, the goblins remembered.
Seventeen years later, Lou, May’s niece, knows nothing of her magical lineage or the twisted streets, sweet fruits, and incredible jewels of the goblin market. But just like her aunt, the market calls to her, an echo of a curse that won’t release its hold on her family. And when her youngest aunt, Neela, is kidnapped by goblins, Lou discovers just how real and dangerous the market is.
To save her, both May and Lou will have to confront their family’s past and what happened all those years ago. But everything—from the food and wares, to the goblins themselves—is a haunting temptation for any human who manages to find their way in. And if Lou isn’t careful, she could end up losing herself to the market, too.

Great book, poor choice of narrator
I loved this book and I wish I had read it instead of listening. The narrator is generally good, but floundered with the Yorkshire accent (I think thats what she wa going for) so badly that I found it super distracting and it really took me out of the story. It's my pet peeve with audiobooks and it may not bother other listeners. Overall 4 simply because I enjoyed the story so much.

The narrator is terrible
I’m sure the book is great but I can’t even finish it because the narrator is so bad! If you can’t do an accent that isn’t American then just say it in an American accent. Instead they keep describing it as a Yorkshire accent but putting on something that sounds like a very bad Irish accent. It’s too hard to ignore. I regret wasting my monthly credit on it.
