I imagine this would be better in print.

While this book is slightly funny it tends to jump from characters to character without the benefit of letting us know it is from a different point of view. There was also a lot of out of the blue additions to the story without much explanation. This might be due to the transition to audiobook. I like to get short stories sometimes to break up the long audiobooks. While this book did the job it was only a filler book and I see there is more to this series, I won't be getting them. Narrator is slightly high pitched.

Zombies, Angels, and Pixies. Oh my!

This is the first book in the “Sexy Witches” series. Ella the witch is searching for a cure for her pet zombie and in the midst of it all a hot angel and a feisty pixie appears. The book is funny with a bit of sadness and lots of hot, half naked, kilt wearing angel to tempt everyone. I laughed out loud several times, fanned myself and had a tear in my eye in the ending. I absolutely loved it.

The author sums it up well:
Zombies, Angels, and Pixies. Oh my!

I love the narrator. She keeps my attention without problems.

Intriguing plot, great characters

This was a really interesting listen. I really like the characters but could have used more world building. There are many things that take a long time to be revealed. At first I was confused about what was happening.

Ella is rather sweet and haphazard. I would have loved more build and flirtation in her relationship with Sam. Perhaps show more of her trying to cure Freddie. I liked what I saw of her, just needed more.

I was a touch thrown by the Fates angle of the plot. It will be interesting to see how that develops through the series. Love the supporting cast, Freddie,Tam and Randall were great! I really hope we get to see their HEA.

There is plenty of sizzle but it is light on the smexy details. Still, quite nice for a short read.

I liked the mixed narrative, it helps you really understand both Ella and Sam. There is a bit of emotional drama, but that is par for the course with a good romance.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Hollie Jackson, who does a great job with all the voices. I enjoyed her pace and tone throughout the read. Definitely one I would like to hear again.

Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

Wonderful book

I really loved this book. I mean a witch and a zombie together in one story was awesome. Samuel is one sexy man who has eyes for Ella. Ella wants to protect Freddie the zombie. Then there is Tam. She is just too funny.
