Hexes & Hot Flashes

Oracle of Wynter Series, Book 1

De: Lisa Manifold

Narrado por: Eva Wilhelm

Six months ago, I lost my husband. Six hours ago, I found out he had another family. Six minutes ago, my life changed forever.

For my forty-fifth birthday, I planned to treat myself to a spa day with my bestie. But instead, my late husband's insurance broker drops by to let me know that not only am I still widowed but my husband's insurance policies are being paid to his other wife-and his other family.

The next thing I know, I'm being romanced by an Indiana Jones wannabe who arrives like a dervish to sweep me off my feet. One thing leads to another, but before anything happens, Indy goes missing, the place is trashed, and I've got myself a glowing snake tattoo that seems to be talking to me about magic, curses, and a hex that is going to kill me. I arrive home to find Logan Gentry, a tall, dark drink of water who seems to think I am some ancient magical being sent here to solve his problems.

One thing is for sure . . . this guy knows more about what's happened to me than I do. If I help him, maybe I'll find some answers along the way. Assuming the curse on my possessed tattoo doesn't kill me first.

Age is just a number, right? Especially when you're possessed by an ancient Oracle.

Clean good writing

This is one of the best series starts i have listened to lately I look forward to continuing!!

Great new series

Lisa Manifold great new series, the characters are well crafted and the storyline is unique. Eva Wilhelm gave a stellar performance as she brought the storyline together and breathed life into it giving each character their own distinct voice. I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy mystery fans.

Good 1st Book in Series

I enjoyed this book, it's fun, funny, and amusing. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Hexes & Hot Flashes

It seemed to me that the story was a bit slow getting to the point of the MC’s understanding of what her first test as a chosen Oracle was & how to accomplish the goal. The MC, Wynter, was a new widow of only 6 mo. when she learns that her husband had married another woman in another state & had children with her as well as with Wynter. To add insult to injury, he had changed his life insurance policy leaving Wynter & her children with only 20% of the benefits & 80% to his new family. When Wynter decides to go out on the town a short time later, she unknowingly is chosen to be an Oracle after trying on a bracelet she finds. It seems to take her a good while to figure out what the new snake tattoo on her arm really means & for her to decide if she really wants to pursue the requirements. This first in a series book starts slow but the ending might just compel you to check out book 2 as it has me. Overall I give it a 4.5* rating given the ending.

Good relaxing narrative

Easy to listen to, decent plot with a small twist. Great escape if looking to just relax.

Nice start to the series.

I got this audiobook on a whim. I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one.
