Publisher's summary

Driven out of Chicago by a spiteful heiress, life coach Charly Redbird is ready for a change. She moves to Florida to be closer to her family, and vows to be more selective about future clients.

With the help of Dylan Graham, a hunky real estate agent, Charly finds a perfect home across the street from a cemetery. When he shows up with a plant and two tiny balls of fluff as a housewarming present, Charly thinks she might be smitten with more than the kittens.

A new client appears at her door and asks for Charly's help, but the woman happens to be a permanent resident of the cemetery. Can Charly convince the restless spirit to move to another neighborhood - or will she take on a new role: Life Coach for the Dead?

Cute story!

I was trying to decide how a book like this ought to be classified, and the term that keeps coming to mind is Cozy Paranormal Romance. I'm not sure if that's an official genre, but if it is, this definitely counts. The story is light and charming. There are magical and mythical creatures of all kinds living in Cat's Paw Cove, Florida. This particular story focuses on the quirky magicals who live in a retirement home and Charlotte Redbird, a young woman who comes to stay in town as she learns that she happens to have her own very unique magical abilities. It's not very long. Perfect for listening to while doing chores or taking a short road trip. I thought the narrator did a good job, especially given how many unique characters are featured throughout. In a word, this audiobook was delightful.

Rebecca Winder did an outstanding job with the narration. She has a beautiful voice, very pleasant to listen to. Her performance is flawless, and the audio quality is perfect. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.

Starting Over in Florida

I loved this charming story about a young woman who flees to her grandmother when an unscrupulous socialite's lies destroy her successful life couch business in Chicago. In Cats Paw Cove she finds a new home, a family and true happiness.

Life Coach For The Dead?

This was my first experience with Sharon Buchbinder's work and it was fun and entertaining. Although this is book 12 of the Cat's Paw Cove series, it can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed this tale of a young woman who moves to Cat's Paw Cove and meets some of the unusual inhabitants who live there. I recommend this series to others who enjoy cute stories with a paranormal twist. Rebecca Winder's narration was expressive and added to the entertainment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
