Publisher's Summary

Being a waitress pays the bills, but Jessica knows she is so much more. She’s a newbie witch, a rookie cryptozoologist, and a young woman with a secret wish for a hot romance with a real Shifter. You know, the kind of romance she reads about, the kind that would knock her socks off.

With no hope for paranormal excitement in Chicago, Jessica packs up and heads for a small town in the country which is rumored to be a hub of shifter activity. Certainly, she can find at least one hot Shifter to dig her stilettos into. Right?

Will it be an awesomely magical summer where Jessica’s wish comes true? Or will she find herself on the business end of a wrath-fueled witch’s wand?

Wishing Star

While I enjoyed the story it left me wanting more because of the ending. This book contain erotic language, magic, shifters and faeries. Hollie Jackson character voices and narration are once again stellar and bring so much life into the story. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review.

Fun

I enjoyed listening to this book. It was a little short, but that didn't take away from the story. The characters were interesting. The bird was great! The narrator was good. She's easy to listen to.

Jessica's adventure

I liked Jessica's initiative and go get 'um spirit. She knows what she wants and goes Looking for it. Humor, interactions. and banter made this priceless entertainment. I didn't want it to end. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Gertie simply makes things funny

This book, without Gertie, relies solely on Jessica’s unfortunate blunders in order to make things comical, whereas the first two books in the series rely on much of the same thing, they’re successful because of the character of Gertie. Jessica’s character alone isn’t enthralling/engaging enough to carry a story without her. Some elements are funny:running over the ‘shifter’ she came to West Virginia to find, the ‘training’ wand that looks and acts suspiciously like a vibrator, and the bird,Gus that can and does sing/say anything he chooses to whenever he chooses to, but Jessica alone? Not so much. A decent listen with a few chuckles, but nothing truly memorable.

Unfinished and Lacking Plot

I absolutely loved Melanie James first two Paranormal Plantation books featuring Gertie. I hooted, snorted and laughed out loud. This one felt like it just stopped in the middle of the book. It was two girls wanting to get laid they did, found out they were both witches and that was it. There was no drama, no mystery, lessons learned or challenges. Very disappointing, not what I expected from the author.

Great laughs

This story will have you rolling on the floor laughing. The characters are original and hilarious. The narrator does a superb job with voicing the characters. A funny, sexy story with witches, a raccoon shifter and a male fairy. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.
