Story
Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia, and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge. Not to mention a mission...with no freaking directions. So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia, trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I'll get turned into a mortal.

Story
Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

Story
Life in a small town can be tough. It can be even tougher when you're a witch whose magic regularly backfires. But Summer Thorne only wants one thing: to create the perfect sanctuary for unwanted animals. Nothing and no one is going to stop her. Not even the sexy sheriff who is determined to shut down her rescue center. And certainly not the laboratory where she illegally obtained her mischievous chimpanzee, Morty. Sheriff Cooper Carlyle has one goal: to keep his town safe. That includes his stubborn neighbor, Summer, whether she wants him to or not.

Summary
Freshly sprung from witch jail, Winnie Foster just has to fulfill the conditions of her parole and she's home free.
Too bad that parole takes place in Paris. (Texas!) Where she'll work at a school for the magically inclined. And be forced to endure the ex who's one of the very reasons she landed in the pokey to begin with.
Bratty tots, sexy ex, timed showers, creepy dolls, magic restrictions and a GPS with an attitude, all wrapped in a Texas town hotter than the surface of the sun? Oh yeah. No way this could go wrong.

Fun Paranormal Romance - if you like kids
I found this book after looking for funny paranormal romance recommendations. This was an enjoyable read. The plot is decent (although the friction between the protagonist and her ex is a little silly and the misunderstanding becomes very obvious very quickly). The protagonist has a light, fun tone. The one fly in the ointment is the kid - while the kid is likable - the narrator's highly pitched imitation of a child's voice can be quite grating. All the kiddy mispronunciations of words are decidedly less cute when spoken by an adult imitating a child. If you can get past that, it's a fun read.

Funny, Snarky, Sweet, GREAT Story
What did you love best about Witched at Birth?
There was plenty of humor mixed into a wonderfully entertaining story. Each and every character had their own individuality, and in just about every case, something about each character gives you a little giggle.
Of course there's Winnie, the main character, who we find in the beginning has a bit more of a problem with her anger than most of us do when we're blown off by someone we thought was a good guy. Most of us would LIKE to blow things up...she actually did. This (and several other previous bad choices) sends her to a sort of witch jail -- especially when much of what she blows up are the prized 80's possessions of THE lead witch. But what she quickly comes to find out is that jail isn't even half as life changing as her assigned rehab once she's out of jail. I loved her attitude through it all -- real, with the perfect mix of snarky. I think we could be good friends!
Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was the first Hollie Jackson performance I've listened to, but surely not the last!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There was definitely quite a bit of laughing in this book!
Any additional comments?
The narrator did a great job with the majority of the voices, and with clearly telling the story. I had a tiny bit of an issue with getting a good feeling of the lead male's character (I don't want to give too much away), because I felt like the narration didn't fit his true emotion as well, but it wasn't terribly distracting. The other general narration (when just narrating, not doing the other voices) similarly seemed a bit...too sharp, I guess is the best way I know how to put it, almost sounding a little sarcastic when not needed. However, every other voice done, including each child, was very well done. Therefore, as a whole, I certainly wouldn't mind listening to this narrator again.

Entertaining read...
For me the story was kind of disappointing until a few chapters in, then the book became interesting. I actually enjoyed the rest of the book. D Malaise

The best combination - romance and comedy
What made the experience of listening to Witched at Birth the most enjoyable?
I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. So to me, that means reviewing both the book and the audio performance. Let's take them in order...
The book was a blast! I was laughing by the end of the first chapter and continued to do so throughout the book. But it wasn't all just snark-tastic responses to some truly embarrassing situations. As I got to know Winnie, I really started caring about her. The personal growth she went through was both satisfying and uplifting. She truly earned her happily ever after. The book is a rom-com with a spark of magic and a lot of heart - a masterful combination!
Hollie Jackson is the voice that brought the story to life. And what a job she did of it! Each character had their own unique sound, from the wise-cracking Ichabod to sweet Lola, from crusty B.I.C. to a great guy dealing with loss, our hero Ben. And Winnie - Ms. Jackson nailed the subtle changes in Winnie from brash and selfish to vunerable and caring.
I'm already listening to the second book in this series and will be adding the rest of Dakota Cassidy's books to my To-Be-Read list!
What did you like best about this story?
The personal growth of the main character, Winnie. I also really liked how Winnie and the children (especially Lola) interacted with each other.
Which scene was your favorite?
The first thing that pops into my mind is Winnie and Lola at the flagpole. I think that's when I fell in love with Winnie.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
B.I.C.'s recommendation. Can't say more - spoilers!
Any additional comments?
I am now very glad that I never had a Cabbage Patch doll when I was little!

More graphic than Witchless in Seattle series
Let me first start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoy Hollie Jackson's narration and the storyline. I've listened to all of the Witchless in Seattle series and I did compare this book to those books. In the Witchless series, there is no cursing or any sex scenes. When I heard the first F bomb dropped, I was a little surprised-not that I'm against cursing (I do it myself often enough) but I think there are scenes that may lend themselves to cursing and I didn't think it needed to be included in this book. Nor did I think the semi-graphic sex scene needed to be as detailed. It may be unfair of me to compare the two series but I did and didn't think using the F bomb and describing how hard Ben became really added anything to the book. I did like the storyline and as usual, there are lessons to be learned.

Did the author rush this off?
Dakota Cassidy had written some fine and well developed stories in the past. Unfortunately she faltered on this one. Her smooth writing style and good character description are present in this book. That was why it was an OK car book on a 300 mile trip. However, the plot was a total mess. Yes, it is fantasy, but there has to be logic within the story.
To start with:. a witch capable of replacing the polar ice caps with a tropical paradise on a whelm,. but then needing to put up with mundane, everyday problems? How about climbing up on the roof of a house in the middle of the night because of something she thought she saw, but then turned out not to be there? Afterwards no one suspects that bad magic was afoot?
Those were the really big problems. On the smaller level the two protagonists decide to have vigorous sex right after she suffered a physical trauma that might have killed her. She appears to have no aches and pains the next day.
Then the big villain of the story makes an appearance in the last quarter of the book without hardly any development.
I really enjoyed Ms Cassidy's other supernatural books. I liked much about this one. The narrator was excellent. Her editor needs to push the author to do better.

Grabbed my funny bone from the first chapter. The characters are fun to get to know. This is my first Dakota Cassidy book and it won't be the last. Hollie Jackson brought all the characters to life with different voices for all.
