Publisher's summary

A little sweet tea and a whole lot of spells won't always put out the fire....

Flea Market Magic: Book One

Ruby Mae Jewell helps run the family business of selling antiques and refurbished goods. But when more research reveals a magical object's threatening nature to the magical community as well, she's put to the test of what to do...especially when they find someone murdered on their land who was looking for it.

Rags to Witches: Book Two

When one of Ruby Mae Jewell's friends gets stabbed at his own wedding reception, her abilities to solve the mystery go completely cold. There are a lot more questions than answers, and with more than the groom's life in the balance, Rue might need a lot of help to stitch things back together.

Pickups and Pirates: Book Three

After a hurricane attacks the Crystal Coast, Ruby Mae Jewell will have to deal with more than just the wreckage of harsh weather. When history of the notorious pirate Captain "Bonny" Ann Bonnet catches up, murder and mystery soon follow. Rue discovers that the storm and the discovery of her ship right off the shores of her home area are no coincidence, and she must race to claim the cursed treasure before anyone else gets hurt.

Couldn’t handle the narrator

This might be a good story/stories but I can’t handle the narrator’s pauses and cadence. I just can’t get past the narrator to hear the story.

I love Johanna Parker!!!

this is a awesome read, it's not for everyone, but this is just up my alley an i have already read them separate. couldn't resist the 3 pack. Bella Falls is a wonderful writer. Thank you.

Good stories, hard listen

The stories were good and kept my attention; however, the bad southern narration made it hard to listen.

I LOVED IT, RECOMMENDED

The writer has done a great job to give us an entertaining and engaging story which I thoroughly enjoyed. I especially liked that this is a box set and great value. There are several unusual characters and ghosts which l am sure you will enjoy as much as l did. RECOMMENDED WITCHY SERIES. The narrator did a good job considering she had so many character's, l found only the main character had a little bit a drone to her voice, the others were perfect, overall well done!

Meh

I tried to not let the overly southern accent bother me but it was just too over the top. Story was good but couldn’t get a fix on what the lead character’s personality was supposed to be.

A perfect blend of lore, area, and paranormal

This book series is way Awesome. As a native North Carolinian, I appreciate the references.

Wish I could get my credit back

The narrator really bothers me. She’s almost monotone and her southern accent sounds fake. The story may have been good, but every time I open it up the listen I have to try and ignore the narrator’s voice. I’ve looked for how to return the audiobook like I used to be able to do but I can not. I may try to keep listening since I can’t exchange it, but please listen to a brief clip before using your credit.

Sophomoric and slow paced

As a Southerner the dialect used was over the top, I think the author googled southern slang and repeatedly used the findings. I normally find books that exaggerate the southerner's flair for conversation entertaining. However when combined with a MC that lacks intelligence and has no apparent positive personality traits, it's torture.

Bad

The person that was reading the book was absolutely the worst one I have ever heard. I couldn’t even get past chapter 3. It may have been a great story but I couldn’t get past the sound of the voice of the reader. So bad that I’m returning the 3 book boxed set.
