Shroom for Improvement

Mythical Mishaps, Book 1

By: Jemma Croft

Narrated by: Keval Shah, Nathan Wolfe

Mushroom fae Claude Stinkhorn leads an extraordinarily boring life. He works as a conductor on Remy's underground railway, lives alone in a windowless, basement apartment, and occasionally enjoys a moderately priced chai latte. He's never been happier.

After the death of his absentee father, Claude inherits a house. But it's no ordinary house. It's a mansion, it's sentient, it's a pain in the ass, and Claude must perform an ancient magical ritual twice a year to keep it alive.

There are just two problems. One, nobody can tell Claude what the ritual involves. Not even the property's motley crew of occupants. And two, Claude has always sucked at magic. He needs help from an expert....

Professor Sonny Daye has been working on the same mycology paper for the past few decades, but he's not giving up. After all, his findings could eradicate famine and help save the planet. He knows with first-hand research, he'll have it finished in no time. But first-hand research means talking to a mushroom fae, and mushroom fae are a notoriously tight-lipped and secretive species.

Luckily for Sonny, the perfect opportunity lands directly in his lap. Which is great news, and not in the least bit weird or suspicious.

Shroom for Improvement is the first book in the Mythical Mishaps Series, and can be enjoyed as a standalone. Expect silliness, slow burn, steam, and mushroom puns galore.

Hidden Gem!

This was a delightfully adorable romance! The character development was wonderful, the world-building was masterful, and the narration was amazing! I feel in love with the main characters and was really invested in their love story. I look forward to listening to the next in the series.

Fun and original

I love a funny, sweet romance. The conflict in the story is realistic and the characters handle it like real, reasonable people, which I appreciate

Funny, Charming, and Inappropriate

Amazing characters all around. Super funny. I fell in love with all of them. Will definitely be listening again.

fairy romance with fun character in the side

I admit the start is kind of slow but the middle and ending are amazing also the side characters are amazing the MCs are cute

Magical Mishaps Indeed

This was a fun time. It was cute and cozy, with the right amount of stakes. I really enjoyed the STEM side of it through Sonny, and Jenny was probably one of my favorite characters.
The narration was really nice as well ☺️
