About this listen
New York Times best-selling author Michelle M. Pillow comes a cozy paranormal mystery full of mischief, magic, and gnomes—and brimming with romantic possibilities.
Some people just have all the luck. And then there are people like Lily Goode. Abandoned at a young age, Lily and her brother, Dante, have never had it easy. So when Lily learns she has inherited an old house her estranged mother left behind, she thinks it could be the opportunity to make a fresh start. But she quickly learns that things aren't exactly what they seem in Lucky Valley. The mysterious accidents and strange hallucinations have Lily wondering: Has her luck run out—or simply taken an otherworldly turn? Gifted, prolific performer B.J. Harrison brings the perfect blend of suspense and charm to Lily's tale.

When it rains, it pours...and sometimes love finds you even when you can’t find yourself. Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I'm a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosy and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Good book
Liked ! Liked! Liked! Lilly and Dante and their sister inherents a house from their mother that's falling down. They are deemed bad luck and the town folks wants them ran off legally, so they have code enforce Nolan give many violation notices. Nolan, a werewolf, is instantly attracted to Lilly so he does everything in his power to help Lilly. As Lilly, Dante, Nolan, and aunt Polly deal with the craziness of of fixing the house, a threat comes into play, a unknown half sister is discovered alive, and all craziness is broke loose.
Aunt Polly is a person of reason in a really wacky way. I love her character. Lilly and are to cyclical and stubborn but family means everything to them. Nolan is very supportive and protective of Lilly. There's lots of family drama and a bit of danger and lots of magic. Also I like listening to the narrator's smooth voice as reads this book.

Finding family
I loved this story. It is quirky, funny and a story about finding where you belong and who your family is. My favorite character is Aunt Polly, everyone should have a loved one just like her. Lilly moves to Lucky, Colorado with her brother to see about the inheritance her mother left her. She never counted on being an outcast in a town of supernatural's just because of her name. Can her new handyman Nolan help her, or will the town drive her away?

QUIRKY, PARANORMAL, COZY MYSTERY, ROMANCE
BETTER HAUNTS AND GARDEN GNOMES is the first book in the (Un)Lucky Valley series. I believe you’ll need to read them in the order of release.
Perfectly quirky, paranormal, cozy mystery romance. This is fun and entertaining with a cast of characters with an amazing array of powers. I thought it was a great start to this new series, and there were tons of belly laughs.
Narration: B.J. Harrison does a beautiful job of providing the voices for the different characters – I especially loved Aunt Polly.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audio BookCrave, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Settling In
Lily Goode discovers that she has inherited what appears to be a run-down, enormous Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. There is also magic in her bloodline that she was unaware of and which will give the reader/listener some humorous moments. And then there is Aunt Polly. She puts the life in the story, so be ready to laugh. We also have Nolan Dawson, a home inspector who gives Lily a difficult time. Also something else to deal with, we have unexplained hallucinations and garden gnomes (who do not remain where they are put).
And finally, the mystery: who is sabotaging Lily’s home and getting desperate to force her family from Lucky Valley? Dive right into this story and see whether Lily and Aunt Polly can shed some light on the mystery and discover their enemy. The narrator for the audiobook is B.J. Harrison. He does a great job with the voices to make it easy for the listener to get an accurate idea of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood and is an enjoyable way to “read” and enjoy the book.

Bad Luck in Lucky Valley
After her mother abandoned them at a fire station, Lily has spent her life trying to keep her family together. Now she's the heiress to a house and properties in Lucky Valley, the ancestral home of the Goods, but somebody or something doesn't what them there.
This book is full of some of the quirkiest characters I've ever encountered, and not a of them are human.
Michelle Pillow's cozy mystery is full of zany happenings, weird accidents, a lot of mystery and even a little romance. It's also one of the funniest stories I've read in a long time.
Well worth your time if you like light paranormal or quirky cozy mysteries. I sure enjoyed it.

Fun and magical new series!
Imagine finding out your mother (who abandoned you and your siblings at a firehouse when you were young) actually had something to inherit in a very small town named (Un)Lucky Valley. Now imagine a crazy aunt with a yard full of garden gnomes and a pet lobster welcoming you to your new home. Add to this the discovery you are a witch, werewolves are real and the town blames everything that goes wrong on your family. Result? A wild, crazy and fun story with ghosts, mayhem, curses, secrets and a bit of romance. I found the story to be a lot of fun and listened straight through. I thought the narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life. I definitely recommend this audio book!
