Can't get enough of this series.

This was one of the best 1st in series books I've ever read. The character's are not your typical 20 or 30 something cozy mystery character's, these ladies are grandmother's and even better, they're witches. The author does such a wonderful job of handing an ensemble cast and representing the daily challenges of aging. The humor in this book is incredible and the story is well plotted. Can't wait to read the next book.

Annoying voice

The voice of Gwyn was very annoying. Hard to listen to with the whine. The other characters had good voices but hers was awful. Narrator needs to find a different voice for that character.

Good story line and I like how it ties in with the witch squad series.

Story boring anD reading oh so bad.

The story is boring. Seemed a lot of verbiage was unneeded.
The read is not in tune with the characters. I couldn’t even finish it.

First returned book in a very long time!

That Old Witch

very entertaining paranormal mystery

This is a very entertaining paranormal mystery. Really fun characters and interesting plot line. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

The most entertaining books

I can see these books as a sitcom
THE PARANORMAL GOLDEN GIRLS
Fun I find the characters to be funny with a twist

Love It!

Easy, funny and enjoyable book. It's not serious and I got quite a few chuckles. I can't wait to read book two.

That Old Witch

This is a good story about relatioship and friendship development. The characters are funny. What hurt this book for me was keeping up with the different voices created by the narrator. I am sure she had a difficult time with this assignment. Once I got used to the voices I enjoyed the story. I am looking forward to the next adventure.

Awful voices!

Terrible narration, the voice of one of the witches was so annoying that I had to have breaks from the story, can't believe I actually got to the end.

Golden Girls as witches!!

This book is one to listen to if you want escapism. It is silly, funny... actually very very funny in parts, and light hearted. I enjoyed it. I likened it to The Golden Girls in a form of older witches. It had me laugh out loud in places and it was great. The characters are brilliant and so well described that you clearly picture them in your mind! This is superb writing and is a skill! Looking forward to the next!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I have provided this voluntary review.

Wow, magic and laughs what more could you want

I loved this book. I am a big fan of the authors Witch Squad series so jumped at the chance to listen to a new series. So glad I did I loved it. Just like the witch squad series but older (kind of like the adult version, in both the characters and in the jokes) and it contained a lot of the characters from the series too. You don't need to have heard about the witch squad to enjoy this book but I think it helps add a smile to your face when a character you know is mentioned. This book also contains some great and whacky characters that you just can't help but for in love with. It is a nice mix of personalities from worry wort Gwen, to handful Hazel, to loony Loni and all have there own individual powers , that make them such a great team and coven. The mystery is also good and keeps you guessing as to who the killer is, the use of magic is fun and gets them into trouble just like the teenagers. Definitely want the author to write more books in this series because I just want get enough of this fun and quirky group of friends.
