About this listen
Someone paid the vampire king’s creepy son to turn me into one of the bitey undead. I’m not hanging about to find out who or why. The vampires want me to stay with them for one hundred years of indentured servitude but I have this thing about following orders so I ran from the streets of London to the wilds of Alaska.
I have an eidetic memory and a can-do attitude. I can-do anything to get away from the vampire king. So when the Sheriff of Portlock, a hidden paranormal town, invites me to be his assistant, I say sure thing. It beats servitude hands down.
At first things seem ideal in Portlock, I make a new friend and even get asked out on a date. But the truth is, there are secrets aplenty. The paranormal council are at each other’s throats, figuratively of course. But then someone rips out a werewolf’s throat, literally this time.
I need to work with the Sheriff to find the killer, before he strikes again. We just need to winnow through werewolf pack issues, council politics, and more suspects than you can shake a stake at. Simple.
Portlock is a melting pot of witches, necromancers, vampires and shifters, but things are starting to boil over. I hope I don’t get burnt.
Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love humor, heart, found family and a slow-burn romance.
Don't miss the other Portlock Paranormal adventures:
1. The Vampire and the Case of her Dastardly Death
2. The Vampire and the Case of the Wayward Werewolf"

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.

Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable, and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbors. All that changes, however, when a teenage werewolf shows up at her door in the desperate hope of renting out a nearby vacant flat.

I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill—but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parent’s killers. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar—yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild.

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.

Story
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.

Brigid Donovan is down on her luck. Her husband dumped her for the biggest stereotype around, his secretary, and her family mansion is a decaying wreck.

First, her cat starts to speak to her. And what does he say? He's not what he seems to be—seriously? Like a talking cat is normal.

Everyone’s welcome at the Stag—vampire, wolf or human. As long as they don’t make trouble. Or ask too many questions about what we’re selling out of the back room. I keep the beers coming, and in return the town keeps my secret. But when a gang of deadly vampires shows up at the bar, it’s clear they’re not looking for a drink. They want to take my business. Or my blood. But this is more than just a shake down. All over town, people are dropping like flies. Disappearing or attacking their neighbors. It’s like they’re possessed. And someone—or something—is pulling the strings.

Following an accusation of being a necromancer with no way to prove her innocence, Detective Kirani Kinsley Ramons turns in her badge and flees to Dragon Heights, Wyoming for a fresh start. In Miami, few understand the difference between a necromancer and the descendant of dragons. In Dragon Heights, nobody cares. With weekly rains of unusual composition, dragon-kin and human alike vying for the right to become the next dragon in town, and magic lurking around every turn, there is no better place for Kinsley to hide her skills and history.

I'm a mage. Problem is, it might kill me. In London, I have my dream job: stacking books in a university library. Even though I'm a mage, I have a quiet life these days. At least, until Levi shows up. Immediately, I know he's trouble. He's too sexy, and I can tell he's dangerous. Worse, he wants a forbidden book in my library. No way in hell am I going to give it to him. It's my job to protect it. But now, Levi won't let it go. And it turns out, he's not the only person who wants the book. All of a sudden, enemies are closing in on me, trying to get the book.

Aviva Fleischer hides a dangerous secret. She’s carefully concealing her infernal heritage, a.k.a. Cherry Bomb. Maybe it’s weird naming her demon side and referring to her in the third person, but guys do the same with their junk, and unlike most of them, Avi isn’t deluded about Cherry’s prowess.

Story
Ashira Cohen takes great pride in the detective agency she’s built from scratch. It may be small, but she has big dreams. None of which involve a stakeout gone wrong. Or finding a mysterious tattoo hidden on her scalp. Or discovering it’s a now-broken ward intended to suppress dangerous supernatural powers that she should not possess. Don’t even get her started on the golem. The only bright spot is that her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. No, right… that’s a bad thing.

Story
Immortality sucks. Just ask Imogen Gray—over two hundred thousand years old and teetering on the edge of total insanity. All throughout history, she's been hunted by an ancient creature who finds her and rips her to pieces every time she dares to access her deepest powers. But Imogen always regenerates. Slowly. Painfully.

Too bloody good!
Once started, couldn’t stop listening! Narrator is the best! I haven’t been hooked in a story liked this in a long while. Off to the next book!

Great story so so performance
The story was fun but the narrator seemed new to the job. She read just a tad bit too fast for me. And the editing seemed off with weird pauses and cut offs. I did like how she did accents

Interesting new world and characters
The story is solid and the characters are interesting. I will probably pick up book 2. The Voice acting is solid and her voice is easy to listen to. I have passed on more than one book because I couldn't listen to the readers little girl voice. The production could use some work. There were frequent pauses that impaired the listening experience for me.

I'm hooked!!!!
First Heather G. Harris book for me and I'm already checking out her back list of books. Bunny has had a run of bad luck, and ends up in Alaska working at the Sheriff's office. This was book one so was a bit slow to build but I've gotten to know the characters, the quirky small town and loved it all.
My only complaint at this point is that I have to wait for book 2!
Well written and a stellar performance by Alyse Gibbs

Well written and Immersive
Absolutely love how this was written! The author doesn’t waste time on superfluous explanations but hops seamlessly into the story, skillfully weaving in things along the way. Main character is mature and has some strength without being overpowered. Mystery was engaging and not predictable, but still based on the facts. Love interests were nicely peppered in allowing for some natural interactions that did not eclipse the plot. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Quick, Light, and Fun
A great light read, with some novel slice of life elements and a fun, engaging mystery. Bunny carries the story!

Good Story, Good Narrator - BAD editing
Let me say right up front that I only made it about half-way through the audiobook before I had to turn it off and read the rest of the book on my Kindle. The Author(s) did a great job on this story. Bunny is a fun character and i genuinely laughed out loud several times.
The Narrator, Alyse Gibbs does a great job, she's does a good job of characters. Most have unique voices, and its very easy to tell them apart.
The problem lies in the spacing between sentences or parts of sentences. Whomever edited the audio files together clearly never listened to the book afterwards. There are soooo many times where this type of pacing happens.
"I took a moment to look over" (2 sec silence) "at the front door that we just locked" (2 sec silence) "to see the largest werewolf I've ever seen."
Also, the gap would range for 1 second to 3 seconds. More than once I thought we were switching chapter only to have the 2nd (or 3rd) part of sentence/paragraph continue. By chapter 25 it was SO frequent, SO random, and SO @#$@#$ annoying that I had to tap out.
I know Audible has fixed bad audio production in the past, and I hope this makes the list, because this looks like a fun series, but I'm not risking another one until I know it was edited by a fan of the James T Kirk school of reading.

Must-Listen Urban Fantasy Series!!
Book 5 in the series sees Bunny and Sidnee attending a Police academy to receive formal training as both police and detectives for when they are on duty at the Portlock Police Station. The academy is not actually for supernaturals however, it is for normal people, and as such, Bunny, Sidnee and 5 other recruits have to hide their supernatural abilities whilst undergoing their training. The instructors at the academy are aware of their status however, with one of the instructors, Sergeant Marks, actually being a supernatural.
Things are going pretty well for Bunny and Sidnee, they are doing well with their studies, as well as performing above average in the physical aspects of the training. This is despite a few run-ins with some pig-headed recruits who still think that ‘girls’ shouldn’t be there in this day and age.
As we see the daily routine of the classes, there are a few harmless instances of a poltergeist playing some tricks on students. These are initially played off by the staff and a few of the students in the ‘know’ as just being pranks by the local poltergeist, Petty Peril. But these ‘harmless’ incidents soon turn dangerous, and as the poltergeist continues to harass students, Bunny decides that it is up to the supernats to investigate.
As Bunny begins to dig deeper into the history of the poltergeist, and into phenomena of poltergeists themselves, she begins to discover that there is something very dark about the history of the “Petty Peril”.
Bunny and Sidnee soon find that things at the academy are not as fun as they had originally thought, and that once again, not everyone is as accepting of supernaturals as they first appear to be.
This is a fantastic addition to the series, as we get to understand how the Portlock Police operate, the way they are trained, and the various techniques that they use. Whilst there is not a massive in-depth analysis of policing techniques (there would not be enough time in a single book, and it would most likely bore the reader!), there is a clever coverage of the classroom activities, the hand-to-hand training, and other techniques that recruits are taught.
Dolbeare spent some time at a police academy researching this, and this time and effort clearly comes out in the writing. Having been a cop for 11yrs, I am always impressed at the attention to detail the authors use at crime scenes given the nature of the series, it gives the story a bit of extra credibility.
At book 5 in this series, the story continues to develop and grow, being as much fun now as it was in the first book. We continue to learn more about each of the major and minor characters in each book. This is a series in which you look forward to every new book to find out what the new story is going to be about, but also to learn more about your favourite characters (and in you have so many of them!).
The world-building continues to be one of the reasons this series is so outstanding, with a mix of all of the favourites that we love and know, but there are the odd additions from the authors just for their own flavour. The authors continue to use the series to add some fantastic mythical creatures from all parts of folklore, fairytales and supernatural lore. This beautiful and captivating world-building totally absorbs you into the story so you become completely lost in this sensational story.
If you love Urban Fantasy, the Portlock series continues to be one of the best series available today and is an absolute must read!!
Alyse Gibbs has the voice of an angel, and is easily one of the most delightful female narrators to listen to. I could happily listen to her non-stop. She has a very clear and concise voice, and does a wonderful job with creating both male and female voices, especially the voice of the main character Bunny. She has a great range of voices, so that you can clearly tell who is speaking, with distinct male and female characters.
On top of this, she not only narrates, but does a wonderful job of voice acting, adding emotion to each of her characters, bringing them to life, so we know how they are feeling as she tells the story, be it happy, sad, angry, elated, or a good dose of humour from the main characters.
Alyse Gibbs is brilliant and adds something special to these stories, and it is absolutely worth listening to them rather than just reading them, as she really brings the Authors characters to life with that beautiful voice of hers.

Can’t stand the narrator
The book seems very interesting but this narrator is ruining it for me- she’s all over the place. She reads every sentence strangely. Sometimes her voice it way too high pitched and it’s like nails on a chalk board. She rushes through and mumbles the middle part of nearly every sentence and pauses or speaks too slowly at other parts. It’s so annoying and distracting, I can’t focus on the story or adjust the listening speed correctly and it is DRIVING ME CRAZY
