Publisher's summary

USA Today best-selling author Ash Krafton is bringing a new twist to the old swish-and-flick.... Magic is all in the way you cast it in Takin' It Back, her newest urban fantasy novel!

Think there's nothing worse than becoming like your mother? Try being possessed by her spirit.

Twenty-year-old Aerie hates running collateral recovery for her father’s magical supply shop. Repossession is a nasty business, even when you’re good at it. Her dream job? The store’s new acquisitioner...but Pop says that job’s for someone who finds things, not loses them. When a mysterious amulet must be found, Aerie sees an opportunity to prove her worth to him.

That’s when a spirit trapped inside the amulet possesses her instead. Demonic powers are handy on a door-knock or when facing down one’s nemesis, but mages can’t use the demonic ley without becoming tainted. Worse yet, the spirit may be Aerie's difficult, deadbeat, long-gone mother.

The possession will destroy Aerie if she doesn’t get the amulet off - but the only person who can do that is the guy she repo’d it from. Mr. Probable Ulterior Motive says if she finds some crummy old book she’d lost years ago, she may discover the spirit’s true identity and prevent its damnation. Aerie must entrust her fate to a complete stranger, or let the demon get what it wants - and it wants Pop dead.

Gonna be one hell of a family reunion.

Lara Croft meets The Magicians in this tale of magic, adventure, and hidden truths....

A great urban fantasy

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I must say, I really quite enjoyed this one. The narration is really well done and the story is just fun. There is a good amount of action and some very quirky characters. I think this is a great urban fantasy story and one I would definitely follow as a series.

Wild ride

I received this book for free at my request but the following review is of my own. This book is definitely a wild ride that doesn’t let go from the very beginning. aerie wants the new job at her dads shop but instead it seems she is always making him angry by losing things even though she’s great at what she does. Suddenly she’s possessed by her mother’s spirit which she’s only heard negative things about, but there is a hidden agenda and secrets that have been kept from her.

Urban fantasy

Join Aerie as she sets out on a dangerous journey to show Pop she is an invaluable repo worker. At the same time she's possessed by the spirit of her mother, who even on a good day is annoying and obnoxious.
I couldn't stop listening to this audible once I started. I absolutely love this story and am hoping for more to come.
Shelley Reese is amazing with her narration. I had no problem following the story and keeping the characters as individuals with there own personalities. I really enjoyed listening to her and am looking forward to more

I received a copy of this audible free at my request, I'm thrilled to be able to review this wonderful story

Pleasant Enjoyable Mystery

Straight up I liked this book! I was given a copy for my humble thoughts and I have nothing but praise for the book. Magical repo what a great concept! A genuine person and a girl to boot, worked wonderfully! Narration was good, making the suspenseful moments sound suspenseful, you did good Shelley Reece. I would read more of Aerie's story, I think shes got a lot of open space for a series if you decide to venture that way Mr Krafton :)

Easy, entertaining mystery

This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another.
I’m unsure if this is the beginning of a series. It seems to me there could be more books.
The publisher’s summary says enough, I don’t need to reiterate. This book has a nice little mystery (finding out who is in the amulet) and with that comes the characters that aren’t what/who they seem to be. It is an entertaining, uncomplicated listen.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Shelley Reece ) and I would listen to another. She does a great job giving each character a distinct voice and personality her narration style is great and sucks you into the book.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence. There is swearing.

Highly Recommend

Takin' It Back tells Aerie's Journey - it is fast paced and filled with wonderfully in depth characters that you quickly become invested in. The authors world building and descriptive writing make you feel as if you are seeing the story unfold. The narrator did a great job bringing the story and characters to life. I hope the author does a sequel and continues Aerie's journey
