About this listen
A witch. A vampire. An immortal mistake.
As a witch, I have a healthy dislike for the undead. While they can turn a human, their venom kills those of us with power. At least that was true until I was attacked by a rogue and transitioned into a vampire.
Now the entire supernatural community wants answers, including the vampire overseer who had a surprising reaction to my unnatural rebirth. In addition to my sexy undead leader, I am assigned a death dealer mentor to investigate the reason I was targeted and protect my family.
When we discover there is a conspiracy at play, will I accept my new life or unleash an unholy monster that could destroy humanity?
Find out what prowls the shadows of Black Blossom County by reading Forever Forty, the new Paranormal Women's Fiction series readers are comparing to Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Victoria Danann.

Story
Being a private investigator wasn’t supposed to be complicated. I expected cheating spouses and missing pets like BonBon, a kidnapped ‘pure-bred Schnoodle’ with a ruby-studded collar. What I didn’t expect was a desperate elf on my doorstep, begging for help to find her missing parents. Nor did I think that my search would drag me back into the magical world I’d tried so hard to leave behind.

Story
Mary Frances Talbot—Frankie—is a necromancer, probably. Hard to say since she never met her parents. She can see the dead, talk to the dead, and a few other things that aren't strictly legal. It's fine. No worries. As long as she doesn't get caught. The whole not getting caught thing was going well until Samuel Harrow blew back into town wearing a Savannah Police Department uniform. He might be a witch, but he hates magic. He's not a fan of Frankie either. Which explains why he's her ex.

When Marty Andrews gets bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle, her blond hair darkens, the hair on her legs starts growing at an alarming rate, and her mood swings put her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics in serious jeopardy. Then a drool-worthy man shows up at her door claiming that he accidentally bit Marty. And since he's a werewolf, she is now, too. Thinking Keegan Flaherty is clearly insane, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there's more at stake than just her highlights.

Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low.

Ellie Gleason has protected the town of Samford, Alabama, for decades. It's not as glamorous as her glory days as the WitchLight Hub, but it keeps her active during her golden years. Life is good. Well, it's okay. It could be bloodier with a smidge more gore, but retirement is meant to be low-key. It's not like her fragile bones could handle the strenuous hunt for monsters anymore, even if her current duties are dull as dishwater. But when her great-nephew shows up on her doorstep in tears, begging for help, Ellie straps on her beloved shotgun, Bam-Bam, and gets the coven back together.

Welcome to The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar. I'm Sam Quinn, the werewolf book nerd in charge. I run my business by one simple rule: Everyone needs a good book and a stiff drink, be they vampire, wicche, demon, or fae. No wolves, though. Ever. I serve the supernatural community of San Francisco. We've been having some problems lately. Okay, I'm the one with the problems. The broken body of a female werewolf washed up on my doorstep. What makes sweat pool at the base of my spine, though, is realizing the scars she bears are identical to the ones I conceal.

A fun, creative, with just a touch of dark listen!
I was on a bit of a slump in this genre, when I picked up this book to listen to. I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to do the book justice and give it a chance. The premise was interesting so I gave it a couple minutes.
I was very quickly won over by the banter, creative side characters and the tease of mystery at every turn (but not in a cozy mystery sort of way). I’m kind of dying to find out everything but also hoping not to find out too soon…
The narrator I thought did an excellent job. There are a lot of fun characters and some of them could be over the top or even annoying. Let’s face it a main character that mainly speaks in monotone could easily be hard on the ears but she hit it right.
I can’t wait for the next book! Thanks for getting me out of my slump!.

witch turned
Raven is attacked by a vampire which should have been the end to her story but it was only the beginning. As she is the first witch to turn, making things even more complicated is the the overseer Rene has claimed her as his. Must read and/or listen.

Great Series Starter
This was a great start to a new series. The character work and story line were well written and I can't wait to see what Tia Didmon has in store for us next.
Katie Hagaman has done a fantastic job of bringing the story to life and made this as fun to listen to as it was to read.

Turned Vamp
You will love this story of Raven a witch dies and comes alive as a vamp. How could a witch turn into a vamp? That is the question. Rene is hot and head vamp. Cass is just funny and loves speaking her mind. I think you will really enjoy reading this story.

Excellent story! I was eager to start book 2, and disappointed I did not have it readily in my queue. I wanted it right away. The author does a great job and before you know it, you’re drawn in. The story is well written. The characters are relatable, and distinct. The narration was excellent. I will be looking for more works by this author!

Exciting
This has made me so excited for the rest of the series. A witch becoming Immortal from a vampire attack. I love the sass, danger, excitement, and humor. Raven definitely seems to have a lot in store for her. I can't wait to read what comes next.
The narration brought this story to life even more than the author already had. It was easy to understand and get sucked into.

Amazing characters and wonderful FMC
Loved all the characters. Characters that you loved, characters that you hated, characters that made you suspicious. The story and world building was very interesting, So many factions and not sure who you can trust, what their motivations are…plenty of suspense, humor and intrigue.
