Curse the Day

Spellbound Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Annabel Chase

Narrated by: Emily Lawrence

Welcome to Spellbound, where paranormal is the new normal.

The only magic Emma Hart believes in is caffeine and the power of the dryer to lose one sock per load. A public interest lawyer buried under a mound of student debt, Emma's whole life has been one turn of bad luck after another.

Her streak seems to continue when she gets lost on the way to see a client in the remote Pocono Mountains. A chance encounter with a suicidal angel lands her in Spellbound, a town where supernaturals have been cursed to remain for centuries - probably not the best time for Emma to discover that she's actually a witch.

Between the recent murder of the town's public defender, a goblin accused of theft, remedial witch classes, and the attention of one smoking hot vampire, Emma struggles to navigate this unfamiliar terrain without losing her mind...or her life.

Just a cozy lil story to hang out with

I enjoy the "Cozy genre" because I listen while I'm doing something else at the same time.
Just an easy read

However, the narrator is a bit annoying. Nasal as the main character, annoyingly ditzy, valley girl, emo, squeaky etc for the others.

I've heard worse but it does get me to hit pause to take a break.

Glad to have found this series

I love all the books in this series. It has a hallmark vibe and keeps the story light and interesting. I highly recommend it.

great book

I immediately fell for this book. I've been in such a book rut lately, audio and reading, that this was such a nice surprise. The narrator was a bit nasally at first but it seemed like it got better with the books progression. Definitely will be listening to the next.

Good but

I really enjoyed the overall story. The plot was good. I liked there wasn’t a lot cussing in it. The only thing that bothered me was the phrase “I said” was used a lot. It seemed to break the flow of the story at times. Overall good though.

fun creative story

unfortunately the narrator (w help of the author) drove me crazy with every -i said- he said-"character" said... why can't it be smooth vs sounding like it was punched in?
