Yard Birds, Book 3

By: Hailey Edwards

Narrated by: Stephanie Richardson

When an old friend reaches out to Ellie, asking for help locating her missing coven members, she's ready for her big comeback. Witchlight is financing the op, and it feels damn good to be official again.

But when her friend's lies begin to unravel, Ellie realizes she's let her ego lead her into a trap. And she's brought her coven down with her. With the girls' lives on the line, Ellie has to decide what's more important-reliving her glory days or saving her best friends from a permanent retirement.

Great series!

I always love Edwards' work, and the Yardbirds books are an absolute triumph. The characters are rich and lovable, and the adventures are thoroughly enjoyable. Stephanie Richardson does a brilliant job as narrator, too.

Marginally better than the previous one

The mystery of hunted witches was somewhat interesting. Unfortunately, the story was filled with a revolving door of character names and little to distinguish them. Other than Ellie herself, I don’t think I could describe what any of the bundle of other witches looked like, or their personality quirks, or magical strengths. I only completed the trilogy because I got them together at the last sitewide sale.
