My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. I love my job protecting the streets of post-magic-revolution Las Vegas - where humans and supernaturals live side by side, or are at least having a stab at it. So when I get suspended and some jackass takes my city hostage? Yeah, there's going to be hell to pay.

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.

In a world of darkness where royal vampires are in charge, I spend my days working as a knight in the city formerly known as London. Instead of a lance and a horse, I rely on my trusty axe, Babe, and ride the occasional dragon. Every day, new threats emerge that require a dash of magic and a dollop of attitude. Naturally, danger comes with the territory. What no one knows is just how dangerous it is for me. If our vampire overlords discover what I am, they’ll execute me on the spot — no questions asked — which is why I avoid them at all costs. Until now.

The vampires have broken our tentative truce and are threatening to destroy my pack. At the center of their scheme is Sky, an enigmatic lone wolf, who they believe is a weapon that can be used against us. Nothing about the quiet, doe-eyed brunette screams "danger" or "ruthless weapon." And that's the problem. My wolf's instinct says to protect her, especially after a necromancer tries to kill her, the vampires repeatedly attempt to abduct her, and we receive a dire warning about her.

So I accidentally killed a shifter. On purpose. With genie powers I shouldn’t be able to use, thanks to my curse mark. In my defense, the damn grizzly was threatening civilians and might have been a vampire as well. Pittsburgh is safer without him. Only the fae court doesn’t believe my story, and the shifters are out for blood. Now I’ve lost my job as a romantic investigator, and I’m on death row. My only hope is an oddly outgoing vegetarian vampire lawyer who seems strangely familiar. Too familiar.

Bad Accents ruin the Storyline
Would you try another book written by Eve Paludan and Stuart Sharp or narrated by Francesca Townes?
no. Considering the book is set in Scotland, you would think the narrator would be able to do a decent Scottish accent of some sort. Woefully irritatingly rubbish and ruins the listening
Would you recommend Witchy Business to your friends? Why or why not?
I would say go and red something else
How did the narrator detract from the book?
massively!
Could you see Witchy Business being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Hopefully someone with a decent Scottish accent
Any additional comments?
pretty weak story line

New Twist on a Familiar Creature
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend it to someone who likes stories about witches and werewolves and magic, yes. It's not the kind of genre I usually listen to but I ended up liking the idea of it well enough that I might listen to the next one in the series if it's available. Also the main character is really sweet and smart and sometimes funny. It's a fantasy story, but with people who are like real people.
What did you like best about this story?
I like the idea of what kind of creature Elle and her boyfriend actually are. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but to me it was a new idea. I liked it. I also liked the tenderness of the big love/sex scene. It was sexy but it was really about how the main character felt, not just body parts moving around. Lastly, it takes place in Scotland so there's Scottish accents and that was fun.
What does Francesca Townes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
There's a lot of scenes where characters do a lot of talking back and forth and this narrator made that come alive like plot and story rather than just talking. This is the third one of this narrator's books I've reviewed. I like her a lot. I enjoy how she does characters, even men.

What a nice concept
This story is so much more than your average witch story. A nice concept for a new series. The narrator did an excellent job of distinguish between the characters. I highly recommend this audiobook. I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment.

Very poorly written
Repetitive beyond belief. Story bogs at the beginning and never recovers. Dialogue is childish, can’t move the story forward. Needs a story editor.
Narration was fine, after a rocky start. She couldn’t cover the bad writing.

Could not enjoy because narrator
This book would probably be better with a better narrator I couldn’t even get pass the first 2 chapters she reads like she is trying to put you to sleep her voice just drolls on to softly that you can’t even get into the story. The book itself I can’t really well rate it because I just couldn’t get into it because of the horrible narration.

I So-Very-Much Wanted to Like This
Sadly, I was just so-very disappointed. Honestly, I couldn't even finish "Witchy Business: The Witch Detectives, Book 1" by Eve Paludin and Stuart Sharp. The writing and story are mediocre; the narrator Francesca Townes is irritating.
I wouldn't waste a credit and thankfully, I didn't. Since "Witchy Business" was an Audible Escape selection, my disappointment was tempered by ease of return.

I wanted to love this... but didn't
I wanted to like this story and was looking forward to a new series... but the story felt forced and really - at the end of the story - I was like - and that was the end?
The narrator did an acceptable job except that all the characters had the same cadence and although there were some shifts in pitch - it was hard to hear sometimes - like muffled voices -- this kept character development lacking.
But I do love Scottish accents -- but I didn't really hear enough Scots to make it feel like Edinburgh -
