Jordyn wasn't careful with what she wished for. After making a reckless choice that destroyed her life along with the life of her high school sweetheart, Jordyn fled her small town and became a professional mermaid. Being around water suppresses her earth-based magic, something she desperately needs. Yet Jordyn can't suppress who she really is - a witch.

When she learns that her mother is dying of cancer, she returns home. But it isn't until people end up dead and everyone points fingers at her that she realizes her past is coming back to haunt her. Because her ex-boyfriend Zach has been waiting for her. And he hasn't forgotten how she brought him back to life that night three years ago. Jordyn will finally have to embrace being a witch to learn the truth. And it will change her life forever.

I'd Rather be a Witch is a tie-in with How to be a Mermaid. It uses some of the same characters and can be heard as a standalone or as a complement to it.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to this story. The narrator did a great job and helped to bring life to the different characters. The story seemed to end a bit quickly but I enjoyed how the story was wrapped up.

After making a mistake in judgement 3 years earlier, Jordyn had to leave her home and start fresh, leaving her family and high school sweetheart behind. When she was called back home, she had to figure out how to undo what she had done in the past. Overall this was a quick read that had me guessing until the end.

very cute read with some very cute characters. The story overall could be read by teenagers to geriatrics. I would consider reading more in this series.

I'd Rather be a Witch is definitely darker and more mysterious than How to be a Mermaid. It is a good read and the story is excellently woven with mystery and intrigue that keeps you guessing and involved in the storyline. Kristin James does a good job at changing her voice for different characters and creating inflection for different emotions and situations while she is reading. I would have preferred that she not try to sound so deep for the main character. It fits and makes sense for the character but seems unnatural for her voice.
