Publisher's summary

What does a retired vampire hunter do with the rest of her life?

That’s a question Bess Walker-James is desperately trying to figure out. Having recently been made redundant, she holes up at her family home in Maine to do some serious thinking about what comes next.

Unfortunately, she has no idea. Until her handsome next-door neighbor shows up.

Turns out, Callum McCarthy needs more help than just finding his missing cat. Bess decides to assist him. What else has she got to do? But little does she know, he’s a lot more than he seems.

Of course, so is she....

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this story. B.J. can sing! I hope this is the beginning of a new series with a paranormal P.I.

Finding Renewal in Retirement

I have listened to nearly all of Kristin's series and honestly I think she shines in short story form. I would LOVE to have this be a series of short stories and adventures. This was such a pleasure to listen to and I truly need just a long story of BJ Harrison doing Callum McCarthy's Irish brogue because swoon. The banter and flirtation was cute and I appreciate a mature romance not meaning steamy but with folks who know who they are have dated and know their boundaries and it isn't puppy love and insecurity. The relationship between these characters emerges from competence and confidence which is enjoyable. You don't have to work hard for these stories, there are not any shocking twists but similar to watching a Hallmark I am not listening for deep stories that take all my attention. If you enjoy Kristin's other works and enjoy a supernatural romance with some light humor and happy ending this is a nice little afternoon listen.

Great story… wish there were more

Read the story when it first came out and then saw it on Audible… love listening to BJ Harrison… such a great voice… I decided to add Mockingbird to my library. Glad I did… This is a novella, so long enough to get me to work & back… great characters & I love that they’re older… Also love that Ms Painter sees the good side of traditionally darker species. Please write more stories with Cal & Bess!

So much fun

Such good characterization in a short space. Loved this tale and hope they appear in more stories in the future.

Obsessed with Everybook by KP

So excited to listen to this book & hope it becomes a series! Great intro and a fun listen at any age especially someone self employed, who appreciates not having a boss thru this!

I hope this is the start to a new series

Kristen Painter has done it again. As always, the characters were well devolved and the storyline was as believable as possible considering its paranormal genre. B. J. Harrison, as always gave a great performance as he brought the story together giving each character their own distinct voice.
I hope this is the start to a new series.
I highly recommend this book/audiobook to paranormal fiction fans.

Bess was wonderful

Her character was certainly my contemporary and her adventure was a good one. Sometimes a novella is just what the doctor ordered and this one is certainly worth your time

Great !!!

Wish there were more adventures for them. Like that Mockingbird was older and still had all her skills.

Enjoyable

Short tale but entertaining enough. It’s a bit short for character development or complex plotting. It might be nice to have a full length story with this protagonist.
