Janie Smith always pretended to be normal. When her witch bestie gets tangled in a murder investigation, she finds it hard to stick to the mundane and save the day. Janie snarks her way through the paranormal world, fumbling again and again, determined not to give into temptation.... But when your closest pal is suspected to have murdered a vampire, how do you prove she didn't kill someone who has no pulse?

Fun take in the PNR genre, but incomplete!

This is a fun, light read and a new twist in the world of the Paranormal. Unfortunately, The Odd Series #2 is unavailable in audio, so there is no resolution to the story. Hello Editorial staff!!!! Is anybody paying attention out there? Yes, I could actually 'read' part 2, but since I like audio books for long drives, it would require reading and driving at the same time. Plus I also like to have complete series in the same format.

Off putting. Full of derision and bias

The overall story is ok. I was bothered by the derisive tone for any of the characters dressed sensually, sexually or a-typically. There was definitely a vibe of slut shaming in the book. I was also disappointed that it fell into the hot/cold trope in terms of romance. Where the MC and Sven are kissing from the start and then the MC pretends she doesn’t feel anything and then a few minutes later is kissing Sven again. During all this she is referring to supernatural groups including Sven in derisive and disparaging ways. I would hope that the MC a women in her 30’s would own her sexuality and know herself better than this. It was disappointing. I don’t know why authors keep using this trope.

The MC is shocked to believe there are supernatural creatures and yet she is one and so is her BF. Also a hot sexy head vampire doesn’t drive a PT cruiser.

I made it through 5 hours and then had to call it. I couldn’t make self listen anymore.
