Publisher's summary

Welcome to Twilight Cove, the gateway to a world of witches, goblins, and sassy black cats.

A strange message and ominous warning send Gypsy back to her hometown of Twilight, seeking answers from her doting parents. When she arrives nothing is as it should be. Her parents have disappeared into thin air, and she is the prime suspect.

But then things get really weird. Gypsy’s idea of reality takes a fall down a rabbit hole when she discovers that not only do witches exist, but she is one. If that isn’t bad enough, her hometown is transformed into a place she doesn’t recognize, literally. Through it all, Gypsy must rely on her mystery solving skills to uncover a killer before she becomes his next victim.

Warning: Contains elements of high fantasy/urban fantasy, dark crime, and sarcasm.

Fantastic

this book was fantastic. Love the fairy tale type scenarios. The Grimm brothers, witches, vampires, elves, fairies, dwarfs etc. Gypsy goes back to her home town to see her parents. She finds them missing, her twin brother is already missing and has been since they were kids. She goes to the police about her parents but no one seems to be to concerned. She goes back to the woods to the cabin that was in the woods that her brother was going to go in. She goes there and meets her fairy god sister who warns her not to open the cabin door or her world would change. Of course Gypsy does not listen and finds herself in a different realm. She finds a dead body as soon as she get there, meets the brothers Grimm. She finds her parents and realizes they are much shorter than they used to be. She finds out her parents are dwarfs and she and her brother were adopted by them. She is also a witch. Now the adventure begins. She is determined to find out where her brother is and what happened to him. Also there are girls that have gone missing. One dead. Gypsy finds herself mixed up in all this. I loved this book and i look forward to more in this series. The narration of this book was fantastic. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Fun story!

I really enjoyed this story. Can't wait to listen to the next one to see what happens next.

I’m hooked!

This is the first book I’ve read by Kendra Ashe and this is a this book in what I hope will be a long series as Ms Ashe built an intriguing world with some really interesting characters. The book is well written and gives the read just enough of a resolution to the current conflict to be fairly plausible but leaves much open to cause the reader to want more.

The narration by Lynn Devereux is credible and certainly enhanced my enjoyment of the story.

Overall I would recommend both the story and the narrator!

I’m really looking forward to the next book in this series.

Cliff hanger!

This book was great! The imagery was fantastic and the characters are well done and like able. Good story but then I was like wait...that’s the end? Def a cliff hanger but now I want to read book 2!

I received a free copy and left my honest review

Cute story

A little bit of everything. A mix of a few Grimm Fairy tales with a lot of Hansel and Gretel.
Lots of Paranormal elements.

Narration was a little slow so I had to listen at a faster speed.

This was a review copy that I received and this is my honest review.

Broomsticks

I loved it! A young woman comes home to find her parents missing.No one seems worried,it was the same with her brother who went missing years ago.What she discovers is magical! Lynn Devereux was a terrific narrator.

fast paced mayhem

Just when I thought I knew what was going on
I was dead wrong! Some answers, but more questions. At least I know who the handsome helpful stranger is.
I'm hopeful Gypsy reunites with her brother in the next book. Good cliffy. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job. I enjoyed it and look forward to more.

Sarcasm and quirkiness

There are only a few things I like about this book and they are the cat Boo and the sarcastic wit of Gypsy. The narrator Lynn Devereux did an phenomenal job with what she had to work with. The storyline bounced all over the place where I could not make heads or tails of what was actually going on. Things just did not make sense because it was not what I had imagined it to be. I received this audio book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Left wondering what would happen next

Good characters. Good story. But the ending left me disappointed. I know it is a tie in to book two but the book just ended.
There are lots of characters and interesting worlds.

Narration was good, I would listen to Lynn Devereux again. Enjoyed the book.

I was given this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Loved the story

I really enjoyed this unique story line. The narrator has a great voice and will do great as she narrates. As of right now it feels like she is just reading at times. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
