About this listen
A little sweet tea and a whole lot of spells won't always put out the fire....
Flea Market Magic: Book One
Ruby Mae Jewell helps run the family business of selling antiques and refurbished goods. But when more research reveals a magical object's threatening nature to the magical community as well, she's put to the test of what to do...especially when they find someone murdered on their land who was looking for it.
Rags to Witches: Book Two
When one of Ruby Mae Jewell's friends gets stabbed at his own wedding reception, her abilities to solve the mystery go completely cold. There are a lot more questions than answers, and with more than the groom's life in the balance, Rue might need a lot of help to stitch things back together.
Pickups and Pirates: Book Three
After a hurricane attacks the Crystal Coast, Ruby Mae Jewell will have to deal with more than just the wreckage of harsh weather. When history of the notorious pirate Captain "Bonny" Ann Bonnet catches up, murder and mystery soon follow. Rue discovers that the storm and the discovery of her ship right off the shores of her home area are no coincidence, and she must race to claim the cursed treasure before anyone else gets hurt.

Great series, light and fun mystery.
No sex scenes but love between characters is clear.
Narrator was great but to me Johanna will always be Sookie Stackhouse. Who I love 😍

New narrator needed!!
This box set was different. Both bad and good.
The stories were original and interesting and that, I enjoyed. However, I found the books overly wordy but not descriptive. There was no building of their society, just a superficial explanation of supernaturals hiding themselves from normies. A lot of words on a page about witches and family secret holds and ghosts in the house but nothing that really added to the stories.
As a cozy mystery, in-depth world-building isn't necessary but the description was so lacking, even though I just finished listening to the books, I have a hard time remembering the names of more than 4 characters from all three books combined, though the novels were original, the stories didn't draw me in enough for me to even want to find out who the killer was. There was action but no intrigued. I just listened, just as I would listen to a news broadcast.
BOOK 1 - I started skipping chapters almost immediately. In the chapter list, the books were not individually identified, it only listed chapters 1-65, so it was a guessing game as to when one book would start or end. This book was so caught up in having Southern charm that it went over board with the references. Constantly dropping aspects that people associate with being southern, or living in a southern state...like sweet tea, fried chicken and okra or with the Female lead having a double name and everyone calling everyone else honey or sugar or some sweet version thereof.
Maybe I missed it with all the skipping, but where were all the other supernaturals? we have witches and variations thereof, we have normies (regular humans) and then we have ONE vampire, which I should add, the lead kept repeatedly referring to as "my vampire boyfriend". I was glad that by book 3, he was at least referred to as " my vampire boyfriend Luke", or just Luke. I didn't understand the reasoning for making his character a vampire when he apparently survived eating regular food and was on a blood fast...that part made me laugh. Way to strip him of the main characteristic that made him who he was. lol.
I think I would have enjoyed the book more if the lead and her minion of friends were caught in peril too, it felt like the killers, though they had a crazy goal, were very sane to everyone else until the end when they got caught, then all the craziness came out.
Book 2 I barely remember.
Book 3 was too caught up in the feels and was less cozy mystery and more words on a page where unfortunately two people died or got hurt. There wasn't even any real investigation and the ending seemed like an afterthought and just a way to wrap the series or the book up in a tidy sweet, southern bow.
The narrator did not do these books justice!!!! Authors really need to have each narrator read a page or two of the novel before they choose. This narrator was laying on the southern accent thick but made it sound like the speakers were constantly excited. The conversations didn't flow because of the high inflection of her voice at the end of sentences or when she paused mid-way through a sentence, then continued reading like it was a new sentence. The best was when sentences blended together because there was no pause, though you could tell she was reading a new sentence or a new paragraph. She did an overly dramatized southern accent, but her British accent was NON-existent!
