Ghosts, Magic, and Mystery

I just love Pyper. The characters in this series are well written. I feel like I know them. I love New Orleans and how it fits in as almost another character. I was happy to see more of Charlie too. Of course there is action, mystery, magic, and some romance. I always look forward to joining these characters on an investigation. The narrator is great.

Love conquers all

Let me start by saying Deanna Chase is one of my favorite authors. I read this book on kindle unlimited and received the audible book as a promo. That out of the way...

I love Pyper & Jade and the chemistry of the coven... I have grown to abhor the Witches Counsel... my favorite part is ms Mabel telling Pyper her news...

Another great listen.

Holy cow. This book had me laughing, crying and all the feelings in between. I will never get bored with hearing about Pyper and Jade kicking butts and taking names. I am going to have to go listen to Jades books next, there’s no way I can be without these BA ladies. As always Deanna Chase creates worlds and characters you can’t help but fall in love with.

Non-stop ride!

Loved it! Pyper and Julius's wedding day is fast approaching and there are so many things left to do. Find a murderer, break a curse and try to bring home the groom are just a few things on Pyper's list. Deanna Chase makes you feel like you're in the story and know the characters personally. Gabra Zackman does a beautiful job bringing it all to life.

Choppy Ending to a Great Series

I thoroughly enjoyed the paranormal mystery aspect of these books, and couldn’t wait to dive in to the final chapter in Pyper’s life. I feel like all books had been building up to this one moment…. And in the end I was a bit let down. At least in this book, there’s a reason why Julius is absent – he’s been transformed back into a ghost. I feel like the emotional toll that takes on Pyper bled into the rest of the story leaving it turbulent and choppy at times. The sleuthing isn’t as well developed as previous books and jumps around a lot, leaving the plot muddled and hard to follow. The characters are all there; the journey is just trying. By the time I got to the final 1/4th of the book, I was starting to get pretty anxious that Chase wouldn’t leave enough time for the picture-perfect wedding that’s been anticipated throughout the series. I think that also distracted me from the plot development. The twist that Julius is turned to a ghost gave the book a sense of urgency and was dramatic and unexpected, it just didn’t come together in the epic ending that I was hoping for. In the end, I’m glad I finished the series and still enjoy Deanna Chase as an author. I’m hoping some of her other series’ become really captivating because I think she has the potential to be an amazing writer.

Loved it!!!

This was a fast, but super fun book!! I was hooked from the beginning. I’m not sure how Pyper and the gang seem to get themselves into a lot of shenanigans but this was a fun one. It full of suspense, mystery, a bit of magic, and OMG moments!!
I truly hope this isn’t the end of this series. I truly love Pyper and Julius. I loved hearing bits and pieces of New Orleans too.

As always the fabulous Gabra does a fantastic job narrating all of the characters. She is the perfect voice for Pyper. Truly brings the story to life.

Entertaining

Excitement once again when joy should be widespread amongst the witches. The storyline is interesting and entertaining and the characters are likable. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
