so much potential

This book had so much potential but fell short for me. The story feels like an incomplete short story. We don't find out what the FMC was running from untill 25% to the end, which is ok, but it is not clear why those she was running from had such power to make her run. We also never find out why her mother is the way she is and the resolution between her and her sister seemed to come out of no where too. I get the mating bonds are instantaneous so I'm ok with not much explanation and bam the guys are all instantly possessive and protective of the FMC but they seemed so one dimensional when there could be so much more. I feel like the story could be so much better. The narrator did a nice job though. Really enjoyed her different voices and characters.

Great narration

The narrator does a great job of bringing this story to life. It seems like it would be hard to have someone who can do the voice of both a twenty year old and an eighty year old but she pulls it off flawlessly. I kept finding times to get out of my house so I could listen to the story even though I’ve read it for myself and know what’s going to happen. If you want a story that will make you laugh, grab a copy of this book.

I love this series!

I loved this book when I read it and I love it even more now that I have listened to it. The story is hilarious and the narrator does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. I love how she does old Violet's voice. It is a perfect ringer for what I imagined it to be. Definitely give this a listen if you love amazing RH books.

rom com rated pg13

I found myself laughing out loud several times. this is a sweet and action packed story. the narrator did a fantastic job. Addison's male voices were so good at times I thought maybe they forgot to put that a male was also narrating.

A Sweet Romance

A nice easy read with some mystery. Addison did a great job as usual. I just wish there had been more of the relationship with her Harem.

Awesome

I loved this book. Made me laugh. I fell in love with this world. Going to read move of this series.

Throw in a neighbor witch with an interesting way to help you with the steps and lots of giggles ensure this to be a great read.

Most Read!!!

Omg, what can I say? This book was incredible! I’ve never so much listening to a book before. The story is amazing and keeps the reader’s attention the entire time. I was so excited to see what comes of Violet and her mates. It is a very sweet and loving book that I’m so happy to have discovered. The only thing I wish it had was some steamy scenes. Like, one witch would use magical s** toys to carry items but we didn’t get a steamy scene? No fun! Other than that, this book was amazing and I can’t wait to read the next book based in this amazing town!

Fun read, need more in this world!

My first Mia Harlan read, but not likely to be my last. Things to love about this book:

✔️Small town / library setting.
✔️Trolls, vampitch, shifters and more!
✔️Slow burn.
✔️Reverse harem.
✔️Fun world-building.
✔️Fiercely loyal, brave FMC.
✔️Action.
✔️FMC hiding out / on the run.


4 stars.

Note:
I listened to the audiobook; it’s a great performance and the narrator’s voice is very pleasant! I’m not sure if it’s production-related or if she just speaks extremely slowly, but I had to speed up to 3.0 in order to be able to listen to it … it sounded in slow motion before I did this. I’d listen to more of her narrations though, as long as upping the speed is an option.

Violet

omg this book was really good, had me laughing so hard. I got to say I just love cash 💸, he was to cute. how he didn't even care and how he kept hitting on her when she was an old lady. lol omg and let not forget how Betty and Violet were making fun of his supernatural power. my favorite blitch lmao 🤣. you guys have to read this book it so funny. I cant wait to hear the next book

Quirky with A Lot of Heart

A granny harem? Yes, please! Okay, so it isn’t exactly a granny harem, but it was an amazing story. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I picked this up and I’m so glad that despite my boyfriend teasing me for reading a “granny harem” (when it had the old cover) that I did. This book had tons of heart, wonderful characters, humor, and a beautiful relationship between two Violets.
Both Violets were great, but granny Violet was my absolute favorite. She has such a sweet, loving, and caring soul for someone who isn’t even her own blood. Young Violet you couldn’t help but feel for her and what she’s going through between being in hiding, slowly watching her best friend die, and finding her mates. I think I liked Liam the most, then Cash, and lastly Nole. Betty was probably my favorite side character and I loved the friendship she had with younger Violet.
Mia put so much heart into this book that I fell in love with all of the characters. This book didn’t have too much steam unlike most Silver Springs books, but I feel like it would have been awkward if it did because of the plot. Mia, please write granny Violet her own book or novella and give young Violet another book as well! I loved getting to see new and old faces and I can’t wait for more.
Addison did a fantastic job with this narration! She was spot on with her voices, especially granny Violet’s. She switched so effortlessly between each character and managed to bring out all of their emotions. I’ll definitely have to find more books that she’s narrated before because she might be one of my new favorites.

So funny

This story is so funny. Violet is a chameleon shifter. She is twenty but pretending to be an eighty year old librarian. She has been doing this for a year. Things are going pretty smoothly if somewhat arthritic. The mates start coming out of the wood work and life gets funny and complicated. This is a brilliant adaptation and the narrator is excellent.

Hillarious!

Hillarious!
Loved this lighthearted, funny story of a young chameleon shifter who poses as her 80-year-old best friend, to keep safe.
The narrator was awesome and must really have practiced a lot on some parts as they are impossible to get by without laughing out loud!

Wonderful Story!

I love the silver springs collection and I was so excited when I found they were being released as audiobooks! This one is brilliant, it’s funny magical and hooks you from the first word. The narration is great, bringing life and laughter to a brilliant book. Highly recommended!

Awesome PNR story

This is a stand alone in a combined universe. I love how Mia got some old loved caracters in this one. I also love how everything went as of a nice mix of supes in this book. This will make you laugh out loud at times but it missed something. None the less a nice addition to your Spell Library collection. Now the series is slowly taking to audio and it adds another dimension and I really love the way Addison makes the story come to life. Well done and easy to listen to.

Excellent as an audiobook

Loved the narrator, she made the book even funnier and sweeter.

Sweet funny paranormal romcom RH.
Not what I was expecting from an RH but it was still really good. It’s a light fun read with plenty of humor and an excellent start to the second series.

The world building was very good and character development was good. It was obvious that you should read the series before this one though to know a lot of the characters and their histories, but it’s entirely possible to read as a stand-alone.

It was very original to have a granny harem and I look forward to keeping up with the Spell Library/Silver Springs series.

Loved

Loved being able to put a great book on in the car while I had a long drive. This book was a great listen.

Entertaining till the end

I think Addison Barnes did an amazing job with this story that I loved reading the first time around and I thought she brought all the characters to life really well like the adorable cat stacks who thought he was a dog. Violets mates and there reactions towards her and getting to see there emotions throughout the story and I think even the voice of little old violet was really good and I just loved her point system she had to remind her self when at the library and the pranks she helps Noel get his brothers back with and i just found my self smiling and laughing all the way through while there was also a serious side to things that just made you fell for violet and hope things would be ok and I loved seeing all my favorite characters again from silver springs.
