By: Leighann Dobbs, Traci Douglas

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate

A Spell of Trouble: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

When town troublemaker, Louella Drummond, drops dead in front of Isolde Quinn's pet store just minutes after threatening both Issy and her cousin Graeme, the police in the small lakeside town of Silver Hollow assume it's from natural causes...until it's discovered that Louella was murdered. Not just any murder, though. Murder by paranormal means. Dark magic that could only have been performed by a powerful witch. And every law-abiding paranormal knows that dark magic is forbidden and carries strict punishment at the hands of "the committee" - the mysterious entity that provides law and order within the paranormal community.

Being witches, Issy and her three cousins fear they are at the top of the suspect list. To make matters worse, a secret division of the FBI has gotten wind of the happenings in Silver Hollow and sent two agents to ferret out paranormal activity. Even worse than that, Issy is annoyingly attracted to one of them!

Armed with their unconventional posse of familiars, Issy and her cousins dodge the efforts of the "real" police and the special FBI agents while following a twisty path of clues that lead to a shocking betrayal.

Great Cozy Magic Mystery

Great Narration. Really enjoyed the extra music and effects. The book has Magic, Mystery and Murder. Could be a Hallmark movie.

Ok, not terrible

First, narration. The narrator mispronounced several words, but not a huge number. Otherwise she does a good job, has a pleasant voice. The background music was also pleasant. The audio was sort of loud on the chapter heading, the rest was even.

The story was as I said, ok. Some interesting bits. Not without some flaws. I did like a few characters. Brimstone was the best animal. Was mostly indifferent to the others.

SPOILERS: I haven't figured out why only Brimstone, out of all the animals, can speak.

Didn't like the whole basis of the FBPI mistreating, killing what is implied as any paranormals found. Did I misunderstand that?

And talk about jumping to conclusions, about everything. Everyone believing the worst of others, too.

Still, I might try one more before deciding if I will listen to all of the series. I'm having a tough time deciding on the exact rating I'd like to give the book, so I will round up.

Awesome book

I really enjoyed the 1st book, so Im giving the entire series a try.

A little Paranormal

I love this book with the interesting, well defined chatacters and fantastic animals along with a touch of paranoral in Silver Hollow. This book is one in a series but great as a stand alone book. It is a light, funny. entertaining story that you will love. Thesetting is believable and the narrationis done by Traci Diveglass. i enjoyed this book.

Great story - music - not so much.

I love anything by Leighann Dobbs. However, I felt the music to be rather distracting and juvenile.
