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.

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.

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.
