Publisher's summary

For some people, time travel is a fantastic daydream, but for Gertie O'Leary, it's just another magically induced accident.

Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder at the Paranormal Plantation, Gertie decides to jazz the place up with another DIY project.

Fuchsia's a great color, don't you agree?

Sure, it's great. But after Gertie mixes her favorite color with a heavy dose of untried witchcraft, creating a strange time-warping side effect, she and her paranormal posse land in the court of King Henry VIII.

You know what isn't great? Your friend loses her memory and tries to steal your boyfriend, you can't figure out how to get back home, and, worse, you're accused of witchcraft!

Add in a pair of mischievous Sasquatches along with a curious dragon, and it spells certain doom for Gertie and her friends as they take their magical buffoonery to the 16th century!

Loved it!

Gertie goes back in time! And we all know how much fun Gertie can be. I loved this story, and listening to it made it even more fun! The narrator is great and the story kept me hooked (and laughing) throughout. Highly recommend! I was gifted an audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the second book in the Tales from the Paranormal Plantation Series written by Melanie James and narrated by Hollie Jackson. Gertie decides to jazz up the Paranormal Plantation with another DIY project. She wants to paint the kitchen a fuchsia color, but when she mixes and uses the paint with a heavy dose of untried witchcraft, creating a strange time warping side effect. The next she realizes her and her paranormal posse land in the court of King Henry VII. This book has a wonderful story and well developed characters

The narrator Hollie Jackson did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read/listen to this book. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Same old Gerie

I really enjoyed this book. Gertie Cant help but find trouble. I've always enjoyed time travel books so I was eager to read this. My only complaint is the narrarotor. I'm not fond of her reading sometimes. Her voice for men all sound the same so you never can tell who it is until she says the name. All in all this was a good one and I can't wait for the next!

Fun!

The characters were fun and a little crazy! It's been a while since I listened to the first book. I forgot how graphic the language can be at times. I don't mind, but some people might. The narrator did a good job. Overall I enjoyed it.

Gertie's Time Traveling Blunder

Gertie and magic what more can I say but oh no. I honestly enjoyed this laugh a minute storyline filled with quirky characters and fantastic creatures. Hollie Jackson again does a stellar performance narrating all of the characters including two Sasquatches. I highly recommend this book if you love the supernatural, comedy and mysteries. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review.

Funniest Love I ever Read!!!!

I choose a romantic comedy to listen to. I am so glad I chose to Listen to the second book in the series. Gertie does a great job at messing up magic spells.

Back to Fuchsia

Another fun tale from the paranormal plantation. I just love this group of witches! Dragons, time travel, ghost, a pair of sasquatches, and painting a kitchen are all in a few days work with this group. Melanie James does an amazing job weaving this fun tale and keeps you laughing through the whole book. Hollie Jackson does an amazing job with the narration of this book too.

Wow!!!!

YES!!!!
Just as I hoped book 2 really was much better than book one. Melanie found her grove. This one is funny and endearing throughout.
Once again Hollie Jackson really brings this tale to life. The voices she does for each character really enhance the experience. She has a wonderful clearly understood voice. Truly a narrator can make or break an audio edition of any book. Hollie Jackson made this a truly great and funny romantic adventure.
