Story
Welcome to Eternal Springs, home to more than a 1,000 “normal” people and four feisty witches. Just a tip, the witches are more fun. Especially Skye Thornton, an air witch about town who would rather be on the mainland than a touristy island that’s home to four climate zones and a gaping hole under the local school that allows monsters to creep through and wreak havoc on the community. A reporter, Skye likes to be in the thick of things - she’s a busybody and proud of it - until she quite literally trips over a dead body at the island resort.

Story
I live by one simple rule: no magic. Not too hard in the human world, plus it keeps me hidden from my evil sorcerer father. Safe. When I’m forced into using magic to save an innocent family, the jig is up. Or so I believe. Instead, I’m whisked off to an academy of magic in a place I never knew existed. The problem is - my power is completely raw, which means I don’t know my butt from a broomstick. At first, it's all wands, witches, and a new wardrobe...until I get caught in a restricted area with a dead body. Now, it's going to take more than magic to clear my name.

Story
It's my second year training to become a Sentry of the South at Spellslingers Academy of Magic and I'm still fighting a reputation I don't deserve. It was my grandmother's addiction to magic that tarnished our family name - a grandmother I still love and adore. When she asks a favor of me, I can't refuse her dying wish...and it sets off a chain of events I never expected. With the help of a charming and sexy druid, I set out to locate a missing professor, but what we discover is far worse than we ever imagined.

Well, I’m supposed to be evil thanks to both nature and nurture, but I fight it with every fiber of my being. I just want to live a normal life. I even joined the FBI instead of the Federal Bureau of Magic, until my powers reared their ugly head and the agency sent me packing back to my hometown to fight magical crimes instead. Now I’m back in Chipping Cheddar, living with my evil family, with a new job and all my old baggage. Oh, and there’s a dead body, which was definitely not an accident.

Now, without a book contract, she’s back at her family restaurant in a one-stoplight town...and she’s convinced things couldn’t possibly get worse. That feeling only lasts until her first shift, when on a trip to the storage building behind the restaurant, she literally trips over a body.

With a name like Quinn Calahan, I sounded as Irish as a leprechaun dancing a jig on a four leafed clover, but the truth was, I’d never been closer to the emerald isle than drinking green beer at the St Patrick’s day street party in Boston until I messed up so badly I had to leave the US. I was offered a job in a tiny village in Ireland that no one’s ever heard of. And I think that was the point in sending me there.

Summary
Welcome to Spellbound, where paranormal is the new normal.
The only magic Emma Hart believes in is caffeine and the power of the dryer to lose one sock per load. A public interest lawyer buried under a mound of student debt, Emma's whole life has been one turn of bad luck after another.
Her streak seems to continue when she gets lost on the way to see a client in the remote Pocono Mountains. A chance encounter with a suicidal angel lands her in Spellbound, a town where supernaturals have been cursed to remain for centuries - probably not the best time for Emma to discover that she's actually a witch.
Between the recent murder of the town's public defender, a goblin accused of theft, remedial witch classes, and the attention of one smoking hot vampire, Emma struggles to navigate this unfamiliar terrain without losing her mind...or her life.

Drivel
Gave up on this after the first few pages included the lines “ears pointier than Captain Spock” - Mr Spock surely - and “ like the Beefeater guards outside Buckingham Palace”. The Beefeaters guard the Tower of London. Lazy writing. Derivative story (what’s that TV programme with the fairy tale people stuck in a town and unable to leave, with an aggressive female mayor with magic powers
?) . Returning this.

Rocky Start But Hooked by the End
This story starts out at a gallop. Within the first 2.5 chapters our main character is whisked into another magical realm permanently leaving behind her entire life, discovers she herself is magical, is introduced to almost the entire community, political system, recent murder, assigned a job, and entered into the Arabella Saint Simon (and yes the story makes sure to mention the school’s acronym in case the listener/reader doesn’t catch it on their own) Academy for Witches. Which also brings up this story initially felt more YA. For those that care there is cussing and sexual joking. Also comments about people being “emo” or that someone is “a goth”. There are also moments that feel like high school bullies yet the main character is a lawyer so it feels odd the contrast of the young tone against the details that this is an adult cast. This isn’t helped by the narrator whose voice is somewhat nasally and sounds very young. To be clear this doesn’t bother me I actually think the narrator does an excellent job navigating such a huge cast. I will say there were SO many characters it was hard for me to track of everyone and their name. But the humor, love triangle between an angel and vamp, murder trial, and small town dynamics really grew on me as I kept listening. The story and pacing moved, the school where Emma our MC is learning magic felt engaging and interesting, and when not overwhelmed by how many folks you were meeting their personalities were engaging and added to the world. The story made me laugh several times and the ending had some nice twists and divergence from standard cliches which I appreciated. Also with Emma being a lawyer I wasn’t finding myself struggling trying to believe why this person would go interview suspects it allowed me to enjoy the narrative. Overall this was a fun, fresh, though sometimes adolescent humored, supernatural cozy. I look forward to reading more of the series.

great book
I immediately fell for this book. I've been in such a book rut lately, audio and reading, that this was such a nice surprise. The narrator was a bit nasally at first but it seemed like it got better with the books progression. Definitely will be listening to the next.

Good but
I really enjoyed the overall story. The plot was good. I liked there wasn’t a lot cussing in it. The only thing that bothered me was the phrase “I said” was used a lot. It seemed to break the flow of the story at times. Overall good though.
