Peachy

By: Camri Kohler

Narrated by: Kat Robar

When 23-year-old, surly, and slightly tipsy Frankie finds her hag of a grandmother dead on the sofa, her best friend, playful Ben Bowen, introduces her to the magical underbelly of Aspen Ridge, Utah.

Ben is a witch, a seer to be exact, and he guides Frankie into her new identity as a healer, a restoration witch. With the help of Ben and his coven-mate Cleo, Frankie navigates the treacherous classes of witches: dragons, shifters, and the abhorred vampire-life-drinking witches. It was a vampire that killed Frankie's grandmother, and she's after Frankie. But, much to the chagrin of best friend Ben, it isn't Frankie's vitality that the vampire wants.

Frankie must work her newfound magic—despite her fear, her self-doubt, and her desire to have one more drink—with her friends to eliminate a common enemy. She'll have to endure nightmares and commit horrors unspeakable, or risk losing them all.

It will take guts...whosever they may be.

protagonist was actually relatable, story was original

World building was well done, and the characters have plenty of fleshing out and mystery to make you care about what happens to them. The protagonist is not a superhero, but flawed and self doubting. I found her to be very relatable and fascinating to listen in on her thoughts. This book is a great mix of the supernatural, spooky, mystery and humor. I really enjoyed the dark and disturbing imagery. This is not a book for your church group book club, but plenty of content for those who like a scary story mixed with being an outsider.

Horrifyingly vivid descriptions that will keep you locked in from start to end

A friend gifted me an audiobook code for this book, and I’m leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An amazingly seamless mixture of urban fantasy and horror. Incredibly and horrifyingly vivid descriptions, lovable characters, and laugh out loud witty banter made this a really fun, albeit unsettling at times, listen from start to finish.

I will definitely be picking up the sequel!
