The Problem with Pixies

A Witchy Romantic Urban Fantasy Novella (Homesteader Hearth Witch, Book 1)

By: Kat Healy

Narrated by: Rebecca Brokaw-Sands

A pixie-infested farmhouse.

A pain-in-the-butt familiar.

A hunky lumberjack shifter.

Not at all what a witch on the run like me expects to find in small-town Redbud, Indiana, but life’s been throwing me a bunch of curveballs lately.

Most recently? Discovering a demonic curse on the family grimoire sucking the magic straight out of my coven’s hearts. 10 out of 10 do not recommend, and there’s only one thing an uninitiated witch like me can do.

Steal it.

Get that spell book as far away from my family and the rival coven who cursed it, hide it, and figure out how to break the curse. Preferably before it decides to infect me. Or those hellhound trackers hunt me down.

Say goodbye to carefree afternoon teas and hello to a new identity, a new town, absolutely no distractions—including that gorgeous bad-boy shifter with his own hidden past—and a secret place to work. So those overly curious, gossiping pixies currently infesting my new farmhouse? They gotta go. Tonight.

A new witch is in town, and I’m on a mission.

Scroll up and click “Buy Now” if you like cottagecore with an edge, slow-burn forbidden romance, sassy sidekicks, demonic baddies, found family, small towns, humor, the occasional cozy vibe, and (eventually) a fae king. The Problem with Pixies is the first of Misty and Sawyer’s adventures in the Homesteader Hearth Witch series.

So cute

Honestly this has been such a lovely escape! I can’t wait to find out what happens to Misty next!

An enjoyable series

The story hit most points of the genres I like so I downloaded it on kindle and I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. Light hearted, whimsical and a bit of sass/snark, Having a talented narrator is icing on the cake. I hope the additional books in the series come to audible soon!

More Stat!

I have never heard of this book or this author I came across this from a fantasy group mentioning that this is like a cozy feel good story. I don't do physical books because I don't have time for that. But only having the novella is crazy; I have so much angst now. haha. I need to know when all of the others will be done... anyone, does anyone know?

A great voice!

This is not my usual fare, however, having gotten to know the narrator (or marginally familiarized myself with the fun she seems to have in the booth) via her social media presence, her excitement for this project drew me in. It’s delightfully different from what I’m used to, and the joy that Ms. Sands is obviously feeling as she narrates seeps through every word. Her characterization and style adds a layer of fun to the story, and has me very uncharacteristically looking forward to what’s next. I don’t know what to say about the story, not knowing the world of fairies or fae, witches or shifters, except to say that it was engrossing and interesting, so bring on book 2!

The Problem with Pixies

Enjoyable and fun read for a weekend of fantasy. Thanks for the many smiles and glad it was clean with a hint of romance and magic.
