Good book

Liked ! Liked! Liked! Lilly and Dante and their sister inherents a house from their mother that's falling down. They are deemed bad luck and the town folks wants them ran off legally, so they have code enforce Nolan give many violation notices. Nolan, a werewolf, is instantly attracted to Lilly so he does everything in his power to help Lilly. As Lilly, Dante, Nolan, and aunt Polly deal with the craziness of of fixing the house, a threat comes into play, a unknown half sister is discovered alive, and all craziness is broke loose.
Aunt Polly is a person of reason in a really wacky way. I love her character. Lilly and are to cyclical and stubborn but family means everything to them. Nolan is very supportive and protective of Lilly. There's lots of family drama and a bit of danger and lots of magic. Also I like listening to the narrator's smooth voice as reads this book.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

cute story

Cute story, loved the narrator. Would recommend for a short escape read. Some minor plot issues but good nonetheless.

Finding family

I loved this story. It is quirky, funny and a story about finding where you belong and who your family is. My favorite character is Aunt Polly, everyone should have a loved one just like her. Lilly moves to Lucky, Colorado with her brother to see about the inheritance her mother left her. She never counted on being an outcast in a town of supernatural's just because of her name. Can her new handyman Nolan help her, or will the town drive her away?

QUIRKY, PARANORMAL, COZY MYSTERY, ROMANCE

BETTER HAUNTS AND GARDEN GNOMES is the first book in the (Un)Lucky Valley series. I believe you’ll need to read them in the order of release.

Perfectly quirky, paranormal, cozy mystery romance. This is fun and entertaining with a cast of characters with an amazing array of powers. I thought it was a great start to this new series, and there were tons of belly laughs.

Narration: B.J. Harrison does a beautiful job of providing the voices for the different characters – I especially loved Aunt Polly.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audio BookCrave, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
