Publisher's summary

It’s paranormal women’s fiction for lovers of magic, mayhem, and a solid afternoon nap (when they can squeeze one in.)

Katherine wasn’t looking for anything extraordinary in her life. She had a job she loved, a husband she adored, and a home in the beautiful seaside town of Moonstone Cove.

Okay yes, she worked too much and had fallen out of touch with all her friends, but that happened to everyone, right? And sure, she was feeling a little creaky in the mornings and couldn’t drink coffee after noon, but that was just life in middle age.

Four minutes was all it took for fate to run away with anything that resembled normal. Now Katherine is trying to place mysterious psychic visions into her previously ordered life. She’s playing referee between a displaced Southern mama and a sarcastic mechanic with a chip on her shoulder. And her quiet life has been upended by a mysterious rash of violent acts by students at her school.

Thankfully, her new friends have powers of their own, and together they just might discover who or what has it in for the quiet citizens of Moonstone Cove.

Runaway Fate is the first book in the hot new Paranormal Women’s Fiction series, Moonstone Cove by USA Today bestselling author, Elizabeth Hunter.

Runaway Fate

Normally I don't read paranormal books, but this one I really enjoyed. It kept me captivated from start to end.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job.

I'm looking forward to more stories from Moonstone Cove.

Great cozy mystery!!

This was an awesome story about 3 women who develop psychic powers in their 40s during a traumatic event. Now they are trying to find out who is behind all the deadly events that the college students are doing by using these powers.

I loved all three of the women's characters but i will say that Baxter stole my heart.

I received an audible copy of this and Ava Lucas, the narrator, did a great job changing up the voices for each character and bringing them to life!!

Loved this!

I received an ALC for my honest review!

Another great new series

This is about three women who meet in an unexpected way and find out that they have psychic abilities. They work together to figure out the mystery and their abilities and what it means. They become friends even though they are all quite different. I liked the previous series by Elizabeth Hunter and I'm looking forward to more in this series. Ava Lucas is a great narrator for this book.

I really enjoyed this book.

I listened to this book twice, and I really enjoyed this book, and this author, Elizabeth Hunter. This is a spin off to Suddenly Psychic series, another over 40 book. I loved the first series, so was excited to start the next series.

I was not disappointed! I like that this author does not make husbands always the bad guys. I loved Baxter and Katherine together, and separately. Toni and Megan were very likable also.

It was fun to see Robin, Val and Monica make an appearance too. Some similarities, but in general, in many ways very different.

Ava Lucas is an awesome narrator.

Can’t wait for next book.........

An incredible story and narration!

I listened to the audio version of this book.

Once again, a book outside of my comfort zone that turned out to be utterly fantastic! I was a little thrown by the Paranormal Women's Fiction label, but it is a great read no matter what it's called. Three strangers--three very different women-- share what could have been a horrific event if they hadn't stopped it using powers that they didn't know they possessed. As they come together to try to figure out what their individual powers are and how to control them, they are drawn into a mystery when they discover college students are performing violent acts that are totally out of character for them.

This book focuses mainly of Katharine, a college professor. She discovers that not only does she need the other two women, Megan and Tori, to understand what is happening, but she also needs them as friends. I loved that she discovered how much she needed that and that the totally different three were brought together by friendship. A wonderful book all the way around.

The narration by Ava Lucas was amazing. All the different voices were perfect for the characters and made it so much fun to listen to!

Thanks to Valentine PR for the gifted copy. All thoughts are my own.

Suspenseful and Superb

Loved it! This is my favorite Elizabeth Hunter book that I've read so far. A spine-chilling psychological mystery, a brilliant scientist protagonist (my favorite kind of protagonist), plot twists that keep you guessing, awesome female friendships and psychic powers! I cannot wait to dig into the next book in this series.

Great Spinoff from Glimmer Lake

Katherine had previously discounted the possibility of psychic powers when Monica, from Glimmer Lake, had consulted with her. After stopping a potential tragedy, she and 2 other women find themselves with powers they don't understand.
One thing I actually liked better than Glimmer is the humor, or maybe I just related more to the characters. With this story, I found myself laughing out loud.
Loved the narration!

Intelligent women and I love it!

The women of this story were intelligent in varying ways. It was beautiful to read a story where no one was an insipid, whiny, bumbling oaf of a woman that makes you want to rip your hair out. Each woman handled each situation they were in perfectly. Weaknesses were shown and weaknesses were overcome and then strengths were shown and strengths were tested. It was a GOOD book. Empowering from a female point of view. Well thought out, obvious research put into story and character development, and a decent ending. It was honestly kind of easy to figure it out early on, but the depth of character development and everything was so good, I didn't mind.

The narrator does a really good job. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was happy to download this and would definitely be interested in the next installment should it ever come to audible!
