Story
With one major mystery solved, Emmy and her friends planned to finally concentrate on something a little more enjoyable - hot guys. But their hopes are dashed when the dramatic arrival of a mysterious stranger heralds the beginning of yet another whodunit. Extortion, murder, kidnappings. It seems like Angel Bay is going to hell in a handbasket. With so many people keeping secrets, just about everyone becomes a suspect. Emmy knows it just might take collaboration with the dark side to get to the bottom of things - in more ways than one!

Story
One thing I've learned about running a shelter for paranormal creatures, you can't afford to let your guard down. It all started when I welcomed an enchanting new guest to my plantation. Strange things started to happen. Well, more strange than usual. I was caught off guard by some conflicting feelings, and it spurred me on to get Brad, the love of my life, committed. To moving in with me, that is. In any case, I was willing to do whatever it took: love spells, black magic, and something so naughty I'd rather not mention it here.

The only magic Emma Hart believes in is caffeine and the power of the dryer to lose one sock per load. A chance encounter 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.

They say it’s best to bury your past, but for one misguided grave robber - the past is an obsession. When Althea Rose learns that a grave robber has infiltrated Tequila Key, she does her best to pretend she’s not interested. No, she doesn’t want to hear more details. And she most certainly does not want to help Chief Thomas track down the industrious body thief. Only when one comes knocking at her door in the middle of the night - a corpse, that is - does Althea realize she’ll need to get a little help from her friends to rid her garden of otherworldly pests.

When she stumbles on a murder in the greasy kitchen of an all-night diner, all wands point to Nora the newcomer as the prime suspect. With the help of her bacon-obsessed canine familiar, a too-hot waiter, and the spirit of the deceased, Nora's only chance at clearing her name is to serve up the real killer.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical? But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore - free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to best-selling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, a.k.a. He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.

Reporter Zoe Clarke's life has lost its magic. So when she gets a job offer in the middle of nowhere, Zoe jumps at the chance to make a name for herself only to find her new home is teeming with magic and paranormal beings - and those aren't its only secrets. During a heated election for head witch, the most powerful position in town, Zoe’s predecessor was buried alive - and accusations are flying faster than broomsticks. Despite her editor’s orders to leave the story alone, Zoe can’t resist.
Summary
Coming of age in Heaven, what an exciting time! Especially since it’s every young angel’s dream to earn her wings by serving a tour in the Bureau of Angels. For everyone except Emmy Morrissey, it seems. It turns out, she and a couple of others are not quite like the rest.
But Heaven has a plan for everyone - even misfits. After a bit of brief training, Emmy and her fellow oddballs are given a secret mission, to run a beachside gift shop in scenic little Angel Bay. And maybe act as guardian angels for the town. Easy-peasy, right?
They may even find time for their first forays into mortal romance, instead of just reading about it in steamy fiction. The hapless young angels soon find themselves up to their necks in supernatural mischief, when they discover Angel Bay is ground zero for the paranormal.

Angels just wanna have fun!
What a breath of fresh air! I love, love, love the three main characters in this new series!
Emerald, “Emmy”, Jade, and Chloe are unique creatures in heaven in that they are the only angels to have been conceived by their angel parents while their parents were visiting the earthly realm. Not quite Angels, but still otherworldly beings.
Heaven decides to give them a chance at “getting their wings” by sending them to live among humans, as since they were conceived on Earth, they can live among humans as angels and go unnoticed as such. Their assignment is to use their special gifts to help those in need. Sent to Angel Bay, the girls reopen a gift shop full of tokens and elixirs to help out anyone in need. Soon they find out the town needs more than a little help. Can they trust the local witch, Eve? What about the hot guy on a Harley, Zane?
Can’t wait to read what happens next in book 2!

Delightful, Devilish and Laugh Out Loud Fun!
Emmy, Chloe and Jade are heavenly angels trying to earn their wings. Uniquely qualified, they are sent to earth by the Bureau of Angels to get to the bottom of the mysterious goings on at Angels Bay. I can’t reveal their unique qualification without engaging in spoilers, so suffice to say that what ensues is an uproariously funny and imaginative story filled with witty dialogue, romance and laugh out loud “whatever can go wrong does go wrong” moments that kept me interested and engaged from beginning to end! There are not enough stars in the world for this one! Fabulous, fantastic fun with knockout narration! Thank you Melanie James!

This is a cute story about what its like to feel like an outcast only to discover you’re not as different as you think! Emmy meets two other young ladies her age who she’s mandated to run a gift shop with in a town full of paranormals. Emmy and her two friends are quirky, terrible at keeping secrets, and can’t investigate to save their souls! Nicole Merrin is a new narrator to me, but her performance is wonderful. She has a melodious voice and brings a wide range of emotions to the storyline. This was an enjoyable listening experience.
