Hex on the Beach

The Magic & Mixology Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Gina LaManna

Narrated by: Wendy Tremont King

Welcome to The Isle.

Lily Locke has never believed in witches and wizards, ghosts and magic, shifters and vampires - especially cute blonde vamps with blood-intolerance issues. A rising star at a hotshot marketing agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota, all Lily knows is that she's a PowerPoint guru, an Excel ninja, and a coffee-maker extraordinaire. Not to mention she's next in line for a huge promotion.

All that changes when Lily's assistant delivers a strange quiz to her, one titled A Magical Assessment for Normal Folks. With it comes the promise of a land she's never known existed. A land where Lily not only discovers her biological family for the first time, but a place where she can make a difference, change lives, and step into the role she's destined to fulfill.

But first, Lily must admit she's a witch. Then, she has to acknowledge that the tall, dark, and mysterious man who offers his help is strictly focused on business...at least, for now. When a body turns up dead and the next target is Lily, she must trust her powers and accept the help of her newfound friends. Otherwise, she'll never survive the trials of the magical island tucked far, far away in the frigid waters of Lake Superior.

Shelby Nichols Series, quick witted main character

What does Wendy Tremont King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love her voice, helps me envision the characters more clearly. I read everything Wendy Tremont King narrates. Love her!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Yes as long as Ranger X is good looking!

Fun, easy listen

If you need a light easy listen, this is the book for you. No pressure to learn some thing, just an easy way to get through chores, driving in traffic, or going to sleep with a fun book. I’m going to be listening to the entire series.m

Fantastic

Great story. Excellent story weaving. Perfect pacing. The narrator is superb with wonderful inflection that isn’t over the top but not the least robotic. So glad I found this series!

Watered Down Stephanie Plum Plot

This reads like a preteen fantasy mystery. All of the adult women in this book behave like giddy school girls, hyper focused on the protagonist's love interest aptly named Ranger X.
None of the interesting mysteries or questions get answered in this volume
