About this listen

It's the Spring Equinox in Myrtlewood, complete with strange disappearances, a quest to uncover heritage, and a journey beyond the veil…

Rosemary and Athena are just settling into their new life in the unapologetically magical village of Myrtlewood. After so many years in financial turmoil, things are looking up. Rosemary even nabs the perfect part-time job while waiting on a certain handsome vampire lawyer to process her inheritance. Life is surprisingly peaceful until strange disappearances throw everything into chaos leading up to the Spring Equinox.

Meanwhile, Athena is newly enrolled at Myrtlewood Academy but feels woefully unprepared for magical education. She has enough on her mind with the enigmatic Finnigan and his aloof behavior, not to mention the disappearance of her father, Dain.

If you're ready for more mystery, witches, paranormal women's fiction with a midlife main character, and a big dose of humor, you're going to love Experimental Magic, book two in the Myrtlewood Mysteries series.

Just Keeps Getting Better

Great series. This was book 2 (need to start with book one, first). Well now they both have magic and more knowledge. What is gonna happen next in this very suspenseful and engaging magical fantasy audiobook. Narrator makes it more mysterious.

Must read

I am absolutely in love with the Thorn ladies & this series! It really is a mix of Gilmore girls, hogwarts with a little sprinkle of fantastical beasts. Love the fact she ties in real magical terms & traditions.

I’m more into fantasy/si fi than mystery

This was a first experience of a mystery/fantasy book. I found it to be very light and easy listening. This book may just have opened up a whole new genre of books for me. Even though the relationship between mother and daughter is the focus of the story line, it occasionally became a bit neurotic and disturbing. Overall the book flowed smoothly.

Good pace. Good characters Variety and coherent tie ins. Nice happy resolution to each book.

Voice of the main character was paced so slow, low and raspy 90% of the time I felt like I was listening to a much older constantly depressed woman or sad Eyore. It became hard to listen to. On the whole, the narrators did a great job but I did find myself wanting the main character to just say what they were going to say and perk up. Even in dismal circumstances.

great series, wonderfully new an fresh while still dramatic

interesting, unique and enthralling. the characters are so real, in this beautifully flawed way that makes them both endearing and delightfully unpredictable. shows such a insight in how teen/parents relationships truly are and how drastically the other thinks. throw in newly learned powers, a town of the slightly odd, a ghostly granny who comes an goes and does as she wishes, old power struggles an even older hurts from various relatives some of which have claimed to have changed and the possible outcomes are endless. that's not even going into the current story line in each book of the series or the newly added in characters as we go. this book is one who won't be able to put down. can't wait to see where it all goes. over all story arc continues through the book series but each books plots are wrapped up. there is love interests but really in more of a crush sort of way, maybe a shared kiss but it's kept sweet, children safe.

A fun read, but

I enjoyed book 2 and will be continuing the series, BUT I have to say that Rosemary's immature antics began to grate in me. There is only so much you can take of an almost 40 year old who acts Luke a petulant child!
The writing isn't great in this, but the story is entertaining.

I couldn't wait to begin!

I devoured the first book and almost immediately began the second. I was so engaged by the mother and daughter and their relationship, though at times I did want to shake the daughter a little. I found myself so invested I was through the second book in two days and on to the next!

Great story

Fun read, who doesn’t love a house that tidies itself, also great to see a mother daughter story.

Looking forward to more Myrtlewood because I can already tell I will love each one!

I am absolutely loving this series! The town, the characters, and the different magical creatures are all so unique and fascinating! I really enjoyed the mystery and learning more about the Fae. I was glad to see growth with the Mother and Daughter individually and I sure hope the daughter has much less attitude in the next book!

Narration is amazing and I absolutely love how seamless switching character voices are, along with inflection and feeling for all the different situations!
