About this listen

Dahlia Poplar is a genuine witch, an unofficial gofer, and Luna Lane’s only cursed resident.

With a werewolf best friend, a vampire ex-boyfriend, and a ghost for a hanger-on, Dahlia is far from the most unusual dweller of her sleepy small town, but she’s the only one unable to leave. Dahlia has to perform at least one good deed per day - or she’s one step closer to turning to stone.

Fortunately, the residents of Luna Lane have plenty of tasks for Dahlia to complete to avert the curse until Cable Woodward, fetching professor and nephew of her elderly neighbor, stops by for the semester on sabbatical. Attempting to help Cable’s uncle work through the trauma of losing his wife, Dahlia uncovers the man’s collection of board games, which leads to him reminiscing about the long-forgotten Luna Lane Games Club.

Dahlia reestablishes the Games Club, only to find evidence of a number of horrible demises connected to the original group. While trying to uncover the truth about the deaths, Dahlia has to fight off her curse, protect her elderly neighbor from becoming the next victim, and most vexing of all, keep Cable from figuring out Luna Lane’s supernatural secrets.

Only, with eerie board games like these, there may not be a loser - or even a winner - who survives.

Love it.

it started off a bit slow but when it finally picked up it turned out to be a great story. I enjoyed the characters and the different array of paranormals that live in the town. I would like to listen/read more in this series. I received this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.

The narrator did a great job.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This was a thoroughly enjoyable paranormal cozy book. I absolutely loved that the author was able to keep me guessing throughout the book. There’s quite a selection of paranormal beings with Dahlia being a witch.
The narrator has done a wonderful job of reading this story and I was able to tell each character.

Luna Lane

Loved getting to know the characters of Luna Lane! My 2 favorite genres are mystery and fantasy, so reading a book that combined a mystery with the supernatural was right up my alley. The author did a great job developing each character and creating an intriguing plot. I didn’t expect to be as absorbed into the world of Luna Lane as I was, and I found myself wanting to listen the audiobook whenever I had a free moment.

Generally 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars...

First of all, I did like the book quite a lot as it really is an entertaining story, with a bunch of colorful, amusing characters and a great complex plot with many twists and turns and lots of surprises on the way... There's also humour in it, with the broomstick in a starring role:) I only deducted some stars from my rating because there were some moments when I kind of lost track of what was going on and how the magic was supposed to work; some scenes felt a bit out of the blue and/or confusing... But maybe I just wasn't focused enough...?
Other than that, it's a really engaging, entertaining, funny story, definitely a very good introduction to the series.

As for the narration, I generally liked Ms Daly's interpretation. She does voices really well, and the pace of her reading is about right. But at times she sounds a bit too monotonous, too unemotional in the narrative parts, that's why it's 4 stars for the interpretation.

Entertaining and Remarkable: A MUST READ!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was the perfect blend of a cozy mystery, YA fantasy, and paranormal thriller. The book builds intrigue by slowly introducing the protagonist and the mystery surrounding the paranormal community of Luna Lane. Quickly however the novel takes readers on a series of twists and turns that not only introduce some memorable members of this cast of characters but keep the reader on the edge of their seat as both personal and grander threats push Dahlia to the edge.

The audiobook did a great job of drawing the reader in. Between the amazing world-building author Amy McNulty does and the genre-fusion that this story becomes and the soothing yet commanding voice work of narrator Danielle Daly that kept the reader invested, this audiobook was both entertaining and enthralling all at once.

A thrilling, memorable, and engaging read, author Amy McNulty’s “Broomsticks and Board Games” is a fantastic start to the Spooky Games Club series. The cast of characters is quite remarkable and both humorous and entertaining, while the chilling mystery behind both the games club and Dahlia’s curse keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. With a powerful story and equally powerful narrator, this is one audiobook you won’t want to miss. Be sure to grab your copy today!
