Publisher's summary

When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things from the town and its human population...to find a job, to find a place to live, and to live as a human, not a therianthrope.

Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car, and it's love at first sight. Thanks to Smooshie, Lily's first two wishes are granted by Parker Knowles, the owner of the Pit Bull Rescue center, who offers her a job at the shelter and the room over his garage for rent.

Lily's new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center. Unfortunately, there are more suspects than mourners for the elderly town leader. Can Lily keep her less-than-human status under wraps? Or will the killer, who has pulled off a nearly pit-perfect murder, expose her to keep Lily and her dog from digging up the truth?

Enjoyed but too short to pay for credits

I would like to listen to more of the series and would if bundled together, but the books are too shore for one credit each.

Nice debut

Very nice debut. Lily Mason in a new town, solving new mysteries. Fast paced story, with a touch of romance.

Pit Perfect Murder

After a bit of a slow start, this story began to get it’s footing & seemed to draw me in. Being an animal lover, when Lily was adopted by the lovable, rambunctious Pittie, I was hooked. It did have a familiar beginning with a young woman starting over in a new town & meeting an uncle she only recently learned she had, but she really needed a change in her life. She knew she was a paranormal & didn’t realize how hard & dangerous it might be living among normal people. Shortly after arriving in town, she discovers a dead body & before long she’s wondering if moving was the right decision for her. This was a good start to a new series & I will be ordering Book 2.

Awesome reading

Can’t wait to read more from this author. If all her books are this good I have a new favorite author!

💯 recommend

What a great start to the series. The narrator is amazing as well. The story has all the feels and keeps you guessing. If I had to give a complaint it would be the fact that she’s a cougar shape shifter yet in human form a 30 something year old man can out run her. I just can’t wrap my head around it 🤯

Enjoyable

A fun, well written book to listen to. Definitely interested to see what happens next. Narrator was perfect!

A Wonderful story with lots of excitement and mystery with lots of love and laughter recommend it to everyone

Great start to a new series --I want more

I was pulled into this paranormal series with it's interesting plot. It was written with a real world reality to make the story seem true. The Characters are down to earth and then hiding their real nature to fit in. The Setting has been created to bring you into a small town trying to handle a murder investigation. ----------- I have not heard Dara Rosenberg narrate before and I'm impressed. I will be buying the next book in this series.

Good!

Nice listen. Murder mystery with supernatural flair. And the heroine has a nice personality. A bit rushed and plot armor but a nice listen.
