The Supernatural Snafu

A Charlie Rhodes Cozy Mystery, Books 4-6

By: Amanda M. Lee

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

Charlie Rhodes is psychic, telekinetic, and hiding in the one place where they’re looking for her. Enthusiastic to the point of being absurd, Charlie is gung-ho about her position with the Legacy Foundation, a group that travels the world looking to solve the unexplained and prove the existence of the paranormal.

From one coast to the next, she (along with her merry band of misfits) investigates strange and odd phenomena...all the while pretending she’s a normal human being without magical to call on.

It’s a big secret, and she’s determined to keep it...even as she grows closer and closer with her co-workers.

This three-book omnibus includes: The Megalodon Mix-Up, The Undead Uproar, and The Incubus Impasse.

Hate the way the main character has no self esteem

there is so much arguing over the main character's boyfriend amongst coworkers. Also how many times does she have to oggle her boyfriend's looks when he wakes and compares it to herself is so lame. I love that this book doesn't give details into sexual escapades. I wished there were more adult books that did this.

Great story lines

I really enjoy the story line and most of the characters. Charlie the main character drives me insane. The constant whining and confrontation has made me almost stop the series several times. I am on book 4, I sure hope it gets better.

Good story

Charlie is way too wimpy and Jack irritatingly macho but story is fun! Laura could never last in the real world!

5 stars

This series gets better and better. Charlie and Jack make a great team. The writing is solid with lots of twists and turns. I look forward to the next book.

The Jack/ Charlie dynamic is a little… uncomfortable

The story is interesting but some of the main characters are a bit hard to stomach.
By book 4 this holding pattern of hostile personalities continuing to have the same arguments over and over distracts from the story more than it adds.
Each book is basically the same story in a new location.


I’m either impressed with Charlie’s ability to pacify people who seem to be impossible to like or I’m bummed that she’d let a coworker and her love interest trample all over her in every scene they share.

Charlie & Jack have a very healthy relationship - for a daddy and daughter. As partners it’s worrisome.
“3 more bites and I’ll buy you dessert…”(just a taste)
I like Charlie and get that both she and Jack are young, but a change in relationship dynamics seems far overdue by now, and I’d like to see the group be more well-balanced. I’d like to see Chris be the “boss” and all relationship dynamics make more sense to me.
I get this is a “cozy mystery” but these dysfunctional relationship attributes are really distracting from the story itself.
