Don't Judge a Book by Its Hover

Witchy Expo Services Mysteries, Book 1

By: Amy McNulty

Narrated by: Jenn Broda

Witchy Expo Services. We host your convention, expo, or trade show—with a dash of magic!

Set up in a matter of days, our expos can host even the largest of crowds in our witch-run village of Cauldron Cove. We can offer what no other expo planners can: breathtaking illusions, instant teleportation from one end of the center to the other, floating item storage, and all the exceptional, magical touches that will make your event one-of-a-kind. Inquire about Cauldron Cove hosting your next event today by contacting Bernadette Toothaker, award-winning head witch general manager of Witchy Expo Services for 11 decades.

Nimue Toothaker is ecstatic that her world-famous grandmother is about to retire and has chosen her as her successor in the family business. She’s only been working on the expos for a few years, but she’s confident she has what it takes to lead her fellow witches and warlocks in the business that defines their entire village. Unfortunately, her grandmother’s sole condition for Nimue taking the job is that she share the position with her archrival, an irritating warlock possessed of two minds—quite literally.

First up is Bookshop Con, where indie booksellers from across the nation host authors and sell books to passionate readers. Nimue’s grand plans clash with her co-manager’s persnickety demands, but their arguments cease to matter when a celebrated author drops dead in the convention center lobby. Nimue suspects murder, but she knows that if she ends the convention prematurely, the magic at work will destroy her beloved hometown. It’s a race to catch the killer before they strike again—all while trying to prove she can handle the job she’s so desperately always wanted.

Entertaining new series

Don't Judge a Book by Its Hover: Case 1: Bookshop Con is book #1 in the Witchy Expo Services Mysteries series by Amy McNulty.

Nimue Toothaker’s grandmother retires and names her nemesis, Ren Southern Co-Head General Managers of Witchy Expo Services. In their first Expo, a famous author dies. Nimue needs to find out if it was an accident or murder because the whole town depends on the success of Bookshop Con.

I haven’t read anything like this where witches and warlocks have conventions for humans. Having the first book be about a bookshop convention was fun. It’s an interesting cast of characters and the fact that they have to work together to make the Expos a success is an intriguing twist.

The narrator is good, just seems like she draws out the last word of a sentence and it is a bit distracting.

I received an free copy of this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Great read

This a great continuation of the series but works well as a stand alone too. Love this cast of characters. Great read . I received a free copy and left my honest review

Love this book

I loved this book. It kept me guessing until the very end. Just when I thought I knew who did it something would jump out at me and I would have to think about all the clues again. A must for any great mystery lover to own.
