About this listen
Just when it seems like Meg Walton can get back to business as usual running the family's donut shop, another murder occurs in the once-sleepy town of Enchanted Bay.
This time, a double-crossing carpet salesman turned theater owner is the victim. As a witch, Meg has unique abilities to investigate the case, but she'd prefer to leave the sleuthing to the cops.
All that changes when the police suspect one of Meg's friends as the possible killer. Meg knows she can't stand idly by. In order to prove her friend's innocence, she decides to find the real killer herself.
Can she crack this case and save her friend without the town finding out her secret that she's a witch?

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Story
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
We all have things in our life that we should know by now, but don’t. Absences in our knowledge and skillset that are frankly shameful in an adult. Things that would be too embarrassing to ask anyone to explain – except our very best friend. Listen in as Mel and Sue tackle their ignorance head on, asking each other to explain something that they still don’t know - but absolutely, as adults, should - from how to parallel park to fully understanding bread (why has it got all those holes in it? What, honestly, is yeast?).

Such a fun murder mystery to listen to. The perfect length when you don’t have a ton of time and yet so much information you don’t feel as though you e missed something. I’m really enjoying this series so far.

Fun Cozy Mystery
Meg has learned to love playing amatear sleuth. The series continued but they can be stand alone. You now have another murder in Enchanted bay.Meg is now spending a lot of time with her boyfried Detective Connor. They are working a lot together to find the killer. She uses a little witchcraft but has to keep it secret, her boyfriend does't know she is a witch. The characters are believable and likable with a little clean romance. Meg does simple witcradt like open doors, find clues the police may have missed. You have a talking cat, nonfattening donuts. You will have to get the book to see who did it. LainievPahos doe the narration and carries it good. Enjoy!

Ax to Grind
Meg and Connor have just gotten back from watching a play where Meg's friend played the lead. The next morning her friends as in and breaks the news that she's out of a job because the playhouse was sold. Then a few hours later her mother comes in the work telling her about all the police cars in front of the home of the man who bought the playhouse and cancelled the play. Now Meg's friend is a suspect and Meg is on the job investigating with her boyfriend Connie.
Lainie Pahos is a narrator that will draw you into the story with her vocalization of each character.
Fantastic audio and story.

Great Read
Ax to Grind (The Witches of Enchanted Bay #2) by Amelia Morgan was another great read in the series. Just as Meg starts getting comfortable in her routine again, another murder happens. I have absolutely loved reading Meg and Connor's search for the killer. I cant wait to read more of Enchanted Bay's happenings.

Good story but very similar to book 1
I really like the Witches of Enchanted Bay, but Ax to Grind was a little too similar to the first book. It repeated several bits so that I had to check to make sure that I as reading book 2.

Who dunnit?
Sort of a run of the mill mystery, mainly made-up of questioning suspects. Narrator is pretty good.

FUN & QUICK PARANORMAL WITCH COZY
AX TO GRIND is the second book in the Witches of Enchanted Bay series. These are best read in the order of release.
This is a fun and quick read/ listen that is perfect for road-trips with the family. You don’t have to worry about foul language or over-taxing who-dunnits… just fun clues from a non-fat donut (sic) making witch and her detective boyfriend.
Could I please have the recipe – or secret power – to make the no-calorie treats?
I love reading everything from Dr. Seuss to Mr. Grey. I enjoy books like this when I want to just relax. Suspend reality – after all how is one play written decades ago going to support the playwright, a theater, and all of the actors for all of those years in a small town – and enjoy this cozy witch mystery.
Narration: Lainie Pahos is a sweet narrator. Her name on a book is a reason to pick it up.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
