My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

I’m really continuing to love this series. Holly is such a fun character. She really just wants to do the right thing. She works at a coffee shop and sells a few potions on the side. The problem is that she isn’t licensed to sell potions. She’s also dating the resident werewolf. Though this is a relationship that has been a little difficult. Adam can be a little jealous and Holly hasn’t made it easy for him.

So in this story, Holly’s SPA officer, Harvey, shows up. Holly is really worried about getting caught making her “illegal” potions. Adam’s family comes to visit. Holly doesn’t make a great first impression.

She’s also looking into an issue with vampires. She’s working with Nick the human PI. Nick doesn’t know anything about the supernatural. It would be really bad if he finds out.

If you haven’t tried this series, I highly recommend it. It is very cute. I love all the different characters. There is some romance and a lot of suspense. There is also some case solving as Holly works with Nick in each story. There are also plenty of laughs too.

Narration
Amanda Ronconi continues to nail the narration of this series. She is really good about bringing out the humor in a story. I love all the voices that she chooses for the characters. Male and female voices are great. If you haven’t tried Amanda Ronconi, I highly recommend her.

**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Our girl Holly and the residents of Beechwood Manor are preparing for Yule Feast and poor Holly is nervous. Her boyfriend Adams's parents are coming for an entire week. Yep, it's time to meet the parents! Between making potions, working at the Siren Song coffee house and assisting Nick on a cheating husband case that takes a paranormal turn our girl is stressed but things are about to get worse. Her Haven SPA officer, the one who oversees her probation is staying at Beechwood Manor. If he finds out she is brewing potions, she could end up in a dank, dark cell.

I find this series and the characters who reside in this small seaside town, the supernatural residents living in Beechwood Manor delightful. The manor is owned by a ghost. Holly lives their with Adam a shifter and her current boyfriend, along with Evangeline, a vampire, and former tv star.

Hollys excommunication from the Haven prevents her from practicing magic, However she has been secretly brewing remedies for clients in Beechwood. She makes potions for ailments, stress, depression and more. In fact, she is good at it, but without a potion master's license what she is doing is highly illegal and Harvey her SPA officer seems to be looking for a reason to toss her in a cell and throw away the key.

Holly may excel at potions but she also has a nose for solving puzzles and once again tags along on a case with Nick. Only a simple cheating husband gig turns into something huge involving vampires. Holly's soon caught up in the investigation and taking orders from Harvey. Plenty of twists, turns, kisses, and chuckles ensue and I had a blast listening.

The ending wrapped up the case, but I am eager to find out what happens next for Holly.

Fans of cozy mysteries, small-towns, and paranormal elements will enjoy Witched Slapped and the Beechwood Harbor Magic Mystery series.

Amanda Ronconi does a stellar job from character voices to pacing. She is such fun to listen to and at just six hours this series is great to take on a trip.  Grab your earbuds and enjoy! This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
