Shifting and Shenanigans

Magical Cozy Mystery Book Club #1

By: Elizabeth Pantley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A cozy mystery adventure with an enchanted library and a clever talking cat!

When this club selects a book, magic happens. They are whooshed inside the book and become the main characters as the mystery comes to life. It is exhilarating fun – until they realize they can’t get out until they solve the crime and reach The End.

Not to worry, though! They are a brave, daring, and quirky bunch, and they always get their man, even if it’s a woman. Or a fairy. Or a shifter. Or a ghost. Or a genie . . .

In every book journey they are excited to land in a unique world and meet a different kind of paranormal being. And even better, in these books, calories don’t count, and the cat talks!

Shifting and Shenanigans, book 1 of the series:

Paige and her adventurous Aunt Glo inherit a country inn from eccentric GeeGee. Finally! They can get into the secret room in the basement that GeeGee kept locked! They discover it’s a wonderful library filled to the brim with mystery books. But more than the room was a secret – it’s a magical place that houses enchanted books.

Paige and Glo find themselves absorbed into the book - smack-dab in the middle of a murder mystery, along with a motley group of book club friends. The people are strange, and they have many secrets. When a dead body turns up, the club will need to work together to solve the case in order to get out of the book and back to their home.

Unique story line.

Automated voice wasn’t very good. There were long pauses between some chapters, and in appropriate words were sometimes accented. But the story was very imaginative and likable.

Light reading, narration is lacking

The story is decent, not particularly deep. The narration needs a human touch. The recording should be reviewed and edited by a human. The AI had some mispronunciations, an awkward lack of emphasis in places and it didn't know when some lines were meant to be sung.

Fun

An enjoyable cozy with some fun twists. The virtual narrator worked well with this story.

Book Club goes in a book to solve a mystery

Shifting and Shenanigans is the 1st book in Elizabeth Pantley’s Magical Mystery Book Club. The characters are likable and the story is interesting. Paige and Aunt Gloria (Glo) inherit their Grandmother GeeGee’s Inn and Book Club. There are 8 members who form the book club with a wide range of ages and personalities. The cool thing with the Book Club is that they actually go inside the book they choose and interact with the characters to solve the mystery. This one was a paranormal cozy mystery with characters that shift from people to animals and the town has unique rules about interactions. This type of paranormal isn’t a favorite of mine but the concept of going into a book to solve the mystery was fun. The audiobook was an AI voice but while it took some getting used to it wasn’t as bad as I expected. #ShiftingAndShenanigans #MagicalMysteryBookClub #cozymystery

Taking cat

Do not like virtual voice! The book would have been much more enjoyable if read by a real person. Story line was different and intriguing.
