About this listen

No one expects their happily-ever-after to end at 40 - but here I am one Prince Charming short of a fairy tale.

Living back at Mom's place with her and Gram is not how this ex-district attorney intended to start the next chapter of her life, but I shouldn't be surprised it's where I ended up. You see, my family is cursed. Literally.

At least that's what both Gram and Mom claim. I've never given much thought to their ridiculous superstitions, but when three local patrons from my mom's occult shop end up dead, even I'm a bit unnerved.

So I decide to dive right into the crazy headfirst. And what I thought would be the end of my journey...may only be the beginning.

Great start to a new series

Melinda Chase has created a wonderful paranormal world filled with well crafted likable characters. Traci Odom gave a great performance as she brought all the elements together to bring it all to life. I look forward to the next installment.

Very fun read

Loved this title and Journey! Very Halloweenie and fun! Great read - can’t wait to experience the rest of the series. Great for those aged 30-40+ young ladies for sure!

Predictable

This was very one dimensional for me. It wasn't very exciting or keep me interested. I will not be continuing the series.

Predictable but good 

Definitely an acceptable series. To some who haven’t listened to a few thousand audiobooks this will be their favorite book for sure.

But ultimately, this is missing something. General plot ideas as summaries of what you wish to build, toward our immediately assumed to be packed without reasoning for the development. With time this writer should be able to correct this and you simply have to ignore it.

I feel like I should give it a lower score, but it’s hard to do so when you see potential.

Kind of predictable.

Cute story, interesting characters but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not crazy for the narrator. Maybe that would help.

Enjoyed up to the ending.

The story and reader were wonderful. My only complaint is that the book was Too short. ...Especially when the ending eludes to another book. The length leads to a cost vs Benefit deficit. Although it would be a good plane ride book start it on the west cost when you take your seat and it will be done just before you land on the east coast as long as there aren’t any layovers.

It was... Okay

This was a struggle to finish - mostly because I wanted to grab the main character, shake her, and tell here to get the bleep over herself. She manages a weird mix of being super whiny with overly aggressive that just rubbed me the wrong way. Add to that some of the "romance" portions were eye-roll inducing, and it made for a start and stop of a listen.

That being said, if you consider that the story/character did manage to evoke an emotional response - albeit not a positive one - it does make it a success at being able to pull the reader into the story; which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2.
