Cute

I was give this book for free. Cute story. Fast paced. I thought that would be more magical description. I enjoyed the crime solving and the quirky characters. The narrator seemed distracted as she read the story with gaps and pauses I the wrong spots. so the flow of the sentences was just not right.

Potions and Commotions

Short and sweet. I like the range of species in the book and the story had a good plot. Moving on to book 2 in the series now.

Magical Mystery

This book is a wonderful magical mystery, set in a town with residents of every type imaginable. I loved escaping into this incredible world and trying to solve who the guilty party was. I wasn't able to figure it out, and then was completely surprised in the end.
While the narrator has a lovely voice, there just seemed that there was quite a bit of pausing in mid- sentence, flat delivery, and unclear speaking. At points, it felt as though this was the first time she was reading this. That being said, overall it was pleasant listening.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to the next installment.

Cute story

So the story is short, and cute. Not very complex or in depth, but it gives you a view into the world. However I personally did not like the narration.

Great short witchy mystery

I loved the book, but I honestly didn’t love the narration. This is a great series! I received a free copy of the audible book and am leaving a voluntary review.

Cute quick story

Thought the story was cute and a quick listen, enjoyed the tale in all. The plot was good with some twists and turns along the way. I do wish the book had been longer and had more time to get to know the characters.

Having the author stop to request reviews twice during the story was distracting.

Pimpim is so cool!

A little under 3 minutes in to chapter one we meet Pimpim with great voice acting “aaaabsolutely!” Haha, i love that. He’s a great character throughout the story; one of many well written personalities!

Decent story if you could follow the narrator

I had a really hard time focusing and enjoying the story as the narrator was slow and totally boring. I even kicked up the speed a bit but nothing worked.

The characters seemed like they could be interesting but, again, my mind kept wandering to other things while the story played. I think narrators should read the story first before they start recording.

Sorry to leave a ho-hum review, could have been a good story, but I will never know.
