About this listen
Not to worry, though! They are a brave, daring, and quirky bunch, and they always get their man, even if it’s a woman. Or a fairy. Or a shifter. Or a ghost. Or a genie . . .
In every book journey they are excited to land in a unique world and meet a different kind of paranormal being. And even better, in these books, calories don’t count, and the cat talks!
"Will blow you away!" ~ Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
Shifting and Shenanigans, book 1 of the series:
Paige and her adventurous Aunt Glo inherit a country inn from eccentric GeeGee. Finally! They can get into the secret room in the basement that GeeGee kept locked! They discover it’s a wonderful library filled to the brim with mystery books. But more than the room was a secret – it’s a magical place that houses enchanted books.
Paige and Glo find themselves absorbed into the book - smack-dab in the middle of a murder mystery, along with a motley group of book club friends. The people are strange, and they have many secrets. When a dead body turns up, the club will need to work together to solve the case in order to get out of the book and back to their home.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Death is not what Bridget Sway expected. Not at all. The afterlife is a mess of bureaucracy littered with nonsensical rules. It's a fashion disaster for a uniform and a job that doesn't pay. It's a heinous communal living situation with housemates who have no concept of privacy or personal space. And it's a handsome parole officer who is a stickler for those nonsensical rules that no one has bothered to explain. As if all of that wasn't bad enough, someone has stuffed a dead ghost in her locker...and the afterlife police are ready to pin the murder on her.

When Rory Wiltz inherits her grandmother's house and shop, she sees it as a sign to move back to her hometown of Hazelville, Ohio. She convinces her best friend Scott to come with her, not knowing what awaits for them there. It seemed that her grandmother was a witch of sorts, because the shop she left her, Book & Candle, definitely caters to the occult community. Things get even weirder when her grandmother's ghost appears and demands that her murder be solved. Rory is in over her head, but with the help of her mystery-loving friend Scott and her witchy cousin Rhi, she's determined to ...

Do not like virtual voice! The book would have been much more enjoyable if read by a real person. Story line was different and intriguing.

Fun story!
Pros: The story was really fun & great, I cant wait to read the next ones!
Cons: The AI voice, not so great. the sound of the voice itself was nice....it didn't sound AI & it was actually pleasant to listen to BUT there were many wrong inflections and mispronounced words. I could put up with that, the part I really didnt like was that all the voices were the same so it was very hard to tell who was speaking in the conversation. I almost stopped part way thru the 2nd chapter but decided I wanted to finish the story and I'm glad I did.....it was a very fun story!

Cozy Mystery meets Magic Treehouse
"Shifting and Shenanigans (Magical Mystery Book Club #1)" by Elizabeth Pantley is what you get when you like cozy mysteries and the "Magic Treehouse" series, which I would argue are also cozy mysteries. In this book we get our classic cozy mystery main character who just went through a heartache and windfall. Then, on top of that something magical happens. She gets a talking cat and a magical
library that takes her and her bookclub into the cozy mysteries they're reading.
They have live out the investigation in that book, but being cozy mysteries it's more interesting than scary. Also, like the "Magic Treehouse" series, this was a completely new but accurate to the genre story not a jump into a classic. Though, I could see that being a good bridge to introducing classic mysteries. Or a take on re-introducing a classic to a new era of writing.

Great Story would prefer a person narrating, auto voice took away from the story
great story well worth the time but itc was difficult to enjooy while pushing past the auto narrator. I would have loved it more with a voice that can differentiate between characters.

A refreshing take on the cozy mystery.
Shifting and Shenanigans: Magical Mystery Book Club (Book 1), has Paige and her Aunt Glo inheriting an inn that has a magical library that requires them to solve the mysteries in the books.
Listening to the audiobook just made this wonderful, fantasy book shine more. I admit, when I first started listening I wasn’t sure about the narrator, the voice seemed to lack warmth. As the book went on, I adjusted to the rhythm and tone and found myself enjoying the book immensely.
I absolutely loved this book. The characters are a mish-mash of sweetness, goofiness, young, old, and a talking cat. The kind of group, as a reader, you wish you could join. Zell was my favorite character, a feisty old lady who loved adventure.
The plot was refreshing and so much fun. I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in a cozy mystery book and solve the mystery. There were rules both in real life and in the book that helped to make things connect together. As the group of characters learned how to deal with all the changes happening within their lives, true friendships started to develop along with humor on and off.
The author knows how to tell a story. I’ve read other books by her, and I’m never disappointed in the excellent writing. You can see how much she really enjoys entertaining her readers with this book. I’m hooked, and I can’t wait for more.

A unique take on a cozy mystery
Shifting and Shenanigans by Elizabeth Pantley is definitely a unique twist to the typical cozy mystery. I enjoyed the premise of the storyline, and felt that the book was written fairly well. What I didn't enjoy was the AI narrative. The word inflections were often incorrect and some words were mispronounced. In addition, making no attempt to differentiate between the character's voices took away a lot of the depth that could have been present. Overall, the book is worth reading, but not necessarily listening to.

Unique story line.
Automated voice wasn’t very good. There were long pauses between some chapters, and in appropriate words were sometimes accented. But the story was very imaginative and likable.

Light reading, narration is lacking
The story is decent, not particularly deep. The narration needs a human touch. The recording should be reviewed and edited by a human. The AI had some mispronunciations, an awkward lack of emphasis in places and it didn't know when some lines were meant to be sung.

Story was good. Reading inflections were off and distracting. I will listen to more of the series.
