A relaxing light listen

Sometimes a little cheesy- just enough drama and magic to keep the story moving.

Book

I enjoyed the book. I don’t have to think hard about what’s going. So for me it’s a relaxing enjoyable book

The storyline is good

I wasn’t crazy about the reader. It was difficult to tell one character from the other. The inflection was off. I figured when it was male but all the females sounded the same.

The story was good. That’s why I gritted my teeth through the story.

Cozy Mystery

I was really missing the Low Country Liz Talbot series by Susan Boyle and stumbled upon this book. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Not a literary masterpiece but it you’re in the mood for a southern cozy mystery, this hits the spot with quirky characters, a sense of community, and great food descriptions.

enjoy the characters!

i enjoyed the book and had several possible criminals so thats enjoyable. The only thing i didnt like, as a southern, is i felt the accent was a bit overdone by the narrator. Thats so minor though.

Pleasantly Surprised

Southern Sass and Killer Cravings is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and several twists and turns.

Great

Kept me company while sewing a few quilts. First time listening to this author-will listen to more by her.

Kept me interested the whole time

This book was the perfect combination of mystery and romance. I never got bored with it, and found myself wanting to drive somewhere just to listen to another chapter.

secrets

a good listening of a mystery, even love the little paranormal part of the mom popping in & out nut always there when needed, a good mystery from the beginning even with the messed up family but there when the other needs the help no matter what. can't wait for the next series.

Why is the main character a jerk?

Interesting story and very good reading, but the main character was so annoying. Arrogant, reckless and self centered. Why? Why cant the main character ever just act like a normal person? I’d like to love them not be embarrassed for their major personality issues.
