A fun story

I really liked this. Fun, short, and fast paced story. Who doesn’t like talking cats?

Pretty Good Story

I loved it. I was entertained throughout the book. I will definitely get more of these. This was my first book by Kennedy Layne. She has done a great job creating a great story line and lovable characters.

The narrator, Hollie Jackson, does a fantastic job with the voices.

Love this book!

This was an easy book series to get into for fall, and I love Hollie Jackson - she makes differentiating all the characters easy to follow in audio form.

A Magical Inheritance, Great Start to New Series

Raven Marigold, down on her luck city dweller, comes to a small town in Connecticut to receive her inheritance from her estranged and now deceased maternal grandmother. A mystery begins soon after Raven and her friend Heidi arrive at the newly acquired tea shop to discover a body in the back room. Raven soon finds out she has not only inherited a shop but a lineage of witchcraft and before long the listener dives headlong into a new magical world with much to uncover. I really enjoyed listening to Magical Blend and feel it offers a promising start to a new paranormal cozy series. Nothing mind blowing for anyone familiar with the genre but a fun cast of characters with a rich history that Raven only begins to explore. The pacing was great, the story easy to get through, and the mystery and magic engaging throughout. The narration was pretty good, Hollie seemed to keep losing the accent she was doing for Heidi and her male voices left something to be desired but it didn’t take away from the story. I love the concept of the shop and the chance in future volumes to see Raven learn how to do magic and hopefully learn more about her family history. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the paranormal mystery genre, there is even a funny magical cat for audiences to enjoy.

I loved the book

My first audible book. I am so happy I chose this one. The story kept me interested and the narrator was very good!
