Publisher's Summary

Are you ready for your next magical adventure?

Okay, so I'm in trouble. Big trouble. I'm broke. Worse, my boyfriend of five years just dumped me.

What do I do? I move in with my three eccentric aunts in their family home, Davenport House. Sounds exciting, only this massive farmhouse likes to eat men.

If I were a regular human, I would have run out screaming like a banshee. As a witch - I do absolutely nothing. Hey, maybe they deserved it?

I'm back in Hollow Cove, the flamboyant paranormal community, where nymphs, werewolves, trolls, shifters, witches, and other paranormals live comfortable lives away from prying human eyes. As I settle into my new life, I decide to accept my aunts' proposal and join the family business - the business of protecting our town and killing anything that would want to harm it. But I've been away from the paranormal world for quite some time, and my magical abilities are a little bit rusty. Heck, they're practically invisible.

Things soon spiral down the crapper when people in our community start dropping like flies. And when demons start showing up in Hollow Cove, it's up to me to take care of them. Permanently.

This is going to be awesome. I just know it.

If the Golden Girls were witches

This book immediately reminded me of the Golden Girls which is an all time classic. I think the narrator didn’t do the characters justice to reflect the comical moments or the emotions of the characters with an almost monotone narration. I would love to here Charlotte Kane, Vanessa Moyen, Emily Beresford, or someone similar to their style of narration,
Would probably enjoy it more on paper than with current narrator.

Wasted my money

It was distressing to listen to the horrible dialogue. No one converses like these characters. The narrator’s intonations we’re contrary to how the character were reacting to each other. The cadence of the narrator made it difficult to listen too.

Not for me

I tried to like this book but I couldn't get into it. The humor fell short and the characters were annoying.

ugh

I cant tell if the book is any good because the narration is absolutely horrible. Its like the lady is reading the book to a room of children. "And then there was.... FIRE" Like we should be saying OOOOOHHHH! Aahhhhh! kill me now.

why cant we return books and get our credit back when they are so bad?

Incredible Witch!

I began reading this book on my Kindle app, ended up finding it on Audible, and decided to follow along with the audio with my kindle version.

Tessa Davenport is such a relatable and down to earth person. Her wicked sense of humor and her fiery attitude go hand in hand. She is someone who I could see becoming best friends with rather instantly!

While reading this book, I felt so captivated by it all. Wherever Tessa was, I felt as if I were standing alongside her every step of the way.

This story was such a fantastic kick off to what I believe is going to be a wonderful series!

Meh, a different narrator would have been more enjoyable

I struggled with the narrator, definitely one of the least exciting to listen to. I think I would have enjoyed the story a bit more

Great story!

fun and enchanting. This is the 1st time I've read any Kim Richardson books. I'm in love with this story. Tessa and her aunts make me giggle!

Great Story... Shadow Witch!

Loved the witchy town & all the unique characters! Great fun to listen to this story!

This book is awful. Waste of a credit.

I struggled to get to chapter 10... then just couldn't force myself to listen any longer.
Complete waste of a credit.

Meh

I had the books 1-3 on kindle and was busy so I got the audio version of book one to listen while I did other things. If I was reading I would have struggled to finish the book. I won't spend time on the rest of the series.

Average story

Tess arrives in Hollow Cove.
The new kid in town.
Tess meets the Sheriff, Marcus.
Girl meets boy.
Girl doesn’t like boy.
By end of the book girl likes boy. Well who would have thought that would happen said no one ever.
Average meh

very poorly written... disappointed

I'm not one for writing poor reviews but sadly had to with this book. I had seen positive reviews about the written book so thought I would try the audio book as I had seen it on here.
What a disappointment!
I couldn't get past the first chapter. It is so amateurish I'm surprised it got published. The dialogue is unrealistic and the construction of scenes.... 'how did she get there so fast '... ermm you're a witch describing a witch! .... The 200yrs old house looked unbelievably new... ermmm its in an enchanted town lived in by witches.
Sorry no no no!
