A fun story

I really liked this. Fun, short, and fast paced story. Who doesn’t like talking cats?

Pretty Good Story

I loved it. I was entertained throughout the book. I will definitely get more of these. This was my first book by Kennedy Layne. She has done a great job creating a great story line and lovable characters.

The narrator, Hollie Jackson, does a fantastic job with the voices.

A Magical Inheritance, Great Start to New Series

Raven Marigold, down on her luck city dweller, comes to a small town in Connecticut to receive her inheritance from her estranged and now deceased maternal grandmother. A mystery begins soon after Raven and her friend Heidi arrive at the newly acquired tea shop to discover a body in the back room. Raven soon finds out she has not only inherited a shop but a lineage of witchcraft and before long the listener dives headlong into a new magical world with much to uncover. I really enjoyed listening to Magical Blend and feel it offers a promising start to a new paranormal cozy series. Nothing mind blowing for anyone familiar with the genre but a fun cast of characters with a rich history that Raven only begins to explore. The pacing was great, the story easy to get through, and the mystery and magic engaging throughout. The narration was pretty good, Hollie seemed to keep losing the accent she was doing for Heidi and her male voices left something to be desired but it didn’t take away from the story. I love the concept of the shop and the chance in future volumes to see Raven learn how to do magic and hopefully learn more about her family history. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the paranormal mystery genre, there is even a funny magical cat for audiences to enjoy.

Love this book!

This was an easy book series to get into for fall, and I love Hollie Jackson - she makes differentiating all the characters easy to follow in audio form.

I loved the book

My first audible book. I am so happy I chose this one. The story kept me interested and the narrator was very good!

Exceeded expectations

The story was well written and the narrator brought all the characters to life. Can’t wait to listen to the next one e!

Good story line

The reader was a bit rushed. She should slow down. It made it hard to hear what was happening in the story and had to rewind to get the gist of some scenes. Thank goodness was for modern technology!

not much of a story but excellent narration

so I just love Hollie Jackson as a narrator and when I listened to the sample of this book and heard her voice that just decided me.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of plot to this book, and the author does tend to wander off into rambling descriptions, often in the middle of an important conversation - which gets annoying (I'm surprised this wasn't fixed in editing).

And this book had a lot of potential - was a good premise and a town full of interesting characters. I especially enjoyed the familiar

super cute

this was such a fun and super adorable book to read!! definitely worth the time! I enjoyed every minute.

SMART AND INTERESTINGLY WITCHY

SMART AND INTERESTINGLY WITCHY. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written mystery, it was up lifting, fast paced and well narrated in a cute bright voice to match each character. RECOMMENDED.
