About this listen
Sometimes, trying to be part of the human world can be a real killer....
Cougar-shifter Lily Mason is ready to put down roots in the human town of Moonrise, Missouri. She only has two problems: her attraction and proximity to Parker Knowles, her boss at the Pit Bull Rescue Shelter, and her need to shift into animal form more than once a month.
When she gets the opportunity to buy a "fixer-upper" outside of Moonrise with plenty of room to get wild without running into easily freaked-out humans, Lily jumps at the chance. Smooshie, Lily's lovable pit bull and partner in chaos, is eager to participate with the home improvements. Unfortunately, Smooshie's help includes digging out a mummified body from the living room wall.
Lily is still recovering from the last murder investigation she got involved in - and she's not looking forward to being in the middle of another one. The case gets even stickier when Lily's landlord is murdered, rumors of a heist gone wrong run rampant, and Parker's old high school buddies have returned to Moonrise, thus increasing the suspect pool. Lily's attempts to become a bona fide citizen of Moonrise might well be thwarted by this newest complication - especially when the murderer sets sights on her.

Story
When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things . . . to find a job, to find a place to live, and to live as a human. Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car. Lily's new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center.

Story
As a forty-three-year-old, newly divorced, single mom, I know two things for certain: starting over sucks, and magic isn’t real. At least that’s what I thought. I mean, starting over really does stink, but when it comes to magic, I have to rethink everything. My garden gnome Linda has come to life. No, really. Her name is Linda, and she never shuts up. A chonky cat with a few secrets of his own has adopted me. And a gorgeous professor of the occult tells me I’m a witch.

My name is Nora Black, and I'm 51 years young. At least that's what I tell myself, when I'm not having hot flashes; my knees don't hurt; and I can find my reading glasses. I'm also the proud owner of a salon called Scents & Scentsability in the small resort town of Garden Cove, where I make a cozy living selling handmade bath and beauty products. All in all, my life is pretty good. Except for one little glitch.

"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.

Story
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.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Holes in the story
This series is developing very nicely. Lily Mason gets a loan from her Witch friend, Hazel Kinsey, & buys some property with a fixer upper house on the outskirts of Moonrise, MO. She has already found dead bodies in each of the first two episodes of the series & this story is no exception. Of course neither of the other bodies were found stuffed between the walls of her previous place of abode. Lily is pulling the wallboard from her newly purchased home when her pittie, Smooshie digs the mummified body from the wall. This starts a series of events that bring Lily & Parker to the brink of being murdered. A lot of secrets come to light by story’s end. This tale is fast moving & I couldn’t stop listening until the last words were spoken. Yes, I’ve already purchased the next book in this series. If you’re not bothered by light paranormal, this is a good cozy mysteries choice.

I'm hooked!
I listened to the first book in this series nearly 3 years ago so I didn't remember a lot about it when I started listening to this one. Things that happened previously were referred to in this book but I still think you could listen to this as a standalone. Just like I said in my review of book one, the murder mystery is solved but there are other things that will carry over to the next story and I hope I have time to listen to it soon.
I love Lily's dog Smooshie and I love that she's a pit bull. This breed of dog gets punished for the misdeeds of humans that turn them into mean animals. Pits that are raised in loving families can be wonderful pets.
There were many red-herrings in this story and I didn't guess who the bad guy was until all was revealed near the end of the story. I'm looking forward to finding out how Lily's attraction to Parker continues in the next book. Dara Rosenberg did another fine job performing this story.
