Black Hat, White Witch

Black Hat Bureau, Book 1

De: Hailey Edwards

Narrado por: Stephanie Richardson

Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box?

Well, Rue Hollis spent 10 years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required.

Then her former partner had to go and shatter the illusion by showing up on her doorstep with grim tidings. As much as Rue wants to kick him to the curb, she agrees to hear him out for old times' sake, and what he says chills her to the bone.

The Silver Stag was the most notorious paranormal serial killer in modern history, and Rue brought him down. Now a copycat has picked up where the Stag left off, and the Bureau wants her on the case. She beat the Stag once. They think she can do it again. But they don't know she's given up black magic, and she's not about to tell them. White witches are prey, and Rue is the hunter, not the hunted. Always.

But can she take down the protege of the man who almost beat her at her black witch best?

If she wants to keep her new town, her new home, her new life, then she has no choice but to find out.

Contains mature themes.

Black hat, white witch

I love Haley Edwards books there’s always something to relate to, and someone that you can relate to, and she always has some thing at any one of her books that makes me laugh out loud.

Balanced, enjoyable

The storyline was well done and balanced between giving enough details to show the dark nature of the topic and keeping it PG. voice acting was very good too!

A fantastic kickoff to this series ✨️

This book was exactly what I was craving! Hailey Edwards has once again captured my heart with her storytelling, and it's no wonder I adored this gem. A paranormal murder mystery? Count me in! The thrilling twists and intriguing characters had me hooked from the very first page. It’s a fantastic kickoff to this series, and I’m eagerly counting down the days until I can dive into the next installment!

Refreshing

Seriously refreshing. I have been listening to other books that had more sex than story in them. The women are submissive and irritating. This was the strong story I needed. It was great well written. I am not a fan of the narrator. But she does have a nice voice. I can’t wait for the next book.

Great story

I enjoyed the powerful female and her familiar was sweet. I liked how she takes accountability and action. She’s smart and funny. I also loved her old partners. And the funny interactions with the new guy.

it was cool

the story was entertaining. it took me a chapter or three to warm up to the narrator's voice. its not bad... just not what im used to. I liked it enough to get the next one so that's something 😂

Like a FBI murder mystery with magic

This book's really enjoyable. The narrator is good. The storyline is strong. The writing is solid. I'll have to add this author to my list of favorites

Fun

What a fun story for anyone. This book is full of wit and sass. The story itself perfection. The narration just sucks you in and makes you never want it to end.

One of my favorite series

This series is one of my all time favorites. I love how Hailey provides slower relationship progressions and how the women match their partners in sexual and/or relationship experiences or more experienced yet still equals (this series, The Beginner's Guide to Necromancy, and the Potentate of Atlanta). I was getting sick of paranormal romance books featuring the experienced man with the (near) virginal woman, but this strays in the best of ways.

I love Stephanie Richardson as narrator for the most part (a couple cringy portions, but the rest more than make up for it) and for most of the characters (her voice for Rue, Colby & Clay is wonderful).
