Ellie is a retired monster killer, who, along with fellow retired witches, lives in and protects Samford, Alabama. A town of humans, shifter packs, witches and more. Ellie’s husband was cursed and his spirit lives in a singing fish plaque. Ellie wants to protect him at all costs, but things have been strained between them. When he goes out with the boys, she goes hunting and ends up injured. Before she can heal, the Middles turn up with a half dead coworker. Ellie steps in despite protests.
The audiobook was just under three hours, but the story was intense. We’ve got bodies piling up, and turf wars. Ellie, Zack, his brothers, and Jo Beth will need to draw the killer out and they’ll need the Yard Birds to do it. The tale blends humor, action and magic. Despite Jo Beth’s protest, Ellie and the coven prove their worth.
Stephanie Richardson narrates and does a great job with Ellie. She provides voices for the others and while most are distinct; I had to rewind once or twice because some sound were too similar.
This is a fun, light, paranormal cozy and I enjoy the older cast of characters. I am looking forward to the next audiobook in the Yard Birds series.

About Hailey Edwards Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy. She lives in Alabama with her husband, their daughter, and a herd of dachshunds.
