Okay, so I'm in trouble. Big trouble. I'm broke. Worse, my boyfriend of five years just dumped me. What do I do? I move in with my three eccentric aunts in their family home, Davenport House. Sounds exciting, only this massive farmhouse likes to eat men. If I were a regular human, I would have run out screaming like a banshee. As a witch - I do absolutely nothing. Hey, maybe they deserved it? I'm back in Hollow Cove, the flamboyant paranormal community, where nymphs, werewolves, trolls, shifters, witches, and other paranormals live comfortable lives away from prying human eyes.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

When it rains, it pours...and sometimes love finds you even when you can’t find yourself. Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I'm a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosy and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right.

Summary
Saving the world is such a bother when it makes you late for tea.
Wizard Lily Singer is kept busy managing library archives, studying magic, and trying to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. Unfortunately, he loves adventure even more than she loves being left alone.
She doesn't want to investigate a malignant spell in a haunted house, but Sebastian is promising rare books as the reward. She also doesn't want to hurt her family but is tired of being lied to about her past. And she definitely doesn't want to get stuck in a dangerously unstable time loop, but Sebastian is in trouble - again....
Strangling her friend, as satisfying as it would be, won't fix her problems. If she wants answers and to not miss tea, she had best find the right spell for the job - before everything goes to hell and takes them all with it.

Snarky and fun!
I simply love it! And 10 min after the first book finished, I had downloaded book number 2. And now 10 min after that one I have just started book number 3. I’m simply unable to stop!
They are funny, detailed, have an entertaining plot, and the narrator does an amazing job!

Wizards & Witches--it's not the gender, but skillz
This book is described as Harry Potter for adults. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main character, yeah, she's a wizard, not a witch. It reminds me of the book Equal Rites, with the first female wizard by Terry Pratchett. The adventure is more Harry Potter style, and while fun, I wish it had just a little more humor. Her sidekick, is a man who's a witch. The concept is wizards are both with magic, and witches use spell books to do magic, but it's not innate. This book was like a micro series, with a few different story lines going on and not one full arc. It was a lot of fun, the narrator was fantastic, and I will be checking out the next book.

Kept waiting for something to pull me in
Story used "the source" as the center of magic, like "the force" in Star Wars. Then the story was about adjusting time using a gizmo like the time turner in the Harry Potter book. It also has a bad wizard that will come back. I found this book very unoriginal.

I had just come off a very emotional ride in the last book I read, so l was looking for a fluff piece so my emotions could settle down. It has delivered in that aspect, but it is more to. Very funny interesting stories. I highly recommend it.

Light, Fun, Escapism
If you're looking for a fun read to get away from it all, then this is a viable option. The two main characters balance each other really nicely and have a relationship that has been fun to watch develop. The plot is predictable from time to time but it's still quite fun and entertaining. I enjoyed the book enough that before I had finished the first I had already purchased the next two in the series. I suppose there isn't much higher praise than that.
The narrator, Amy McFadden, did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life with their own, consistently applied, voices and speaking styles. I was glad to see she was reading the whole series.
