About this listen

Brighton Longfield is kinda bad at life. She's divorced, childless, and she just got fired...again.

With dwindling savings and few prospects, she packs her possessions into a U-Haul and sets out for the little town of Coventry, where she inherited a dilapidated old house from her Great Aunt "Mad" Maude Tuttlesmith.

Coventry is supposed to be a stop in the road for Brighton. The plan is to fix up the house, sell it, and then figure out what to do with her life. You know what they say about the best-laid plans....

Coventry isn't your typical small town. At one time, it was home to two powerful families of witches. But, the Skeenbauer and Tuttlesmith families couldn't put their differences aside, and eventually, the feuding drove the Tuttlesmith witches out of town.

The matriarch of the Skeenbauer family isn't pleased to have a descendant of the Tuttlesmith witches return. The thing is, the Tuttlesmiths stopped practicing magic when they left Coventry, and Brighton has no idea she's a witch. She's about to get a big surprise.

Like the overall witchy theme

I liked this book although I wish there was a little more detail at times. I’m still interested enough to proceed with book 2 for sure.

THORNE'S BLUE EYES

🧿🧿

WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT ANYWAY?

it's about a young woman who discovers that she is a witch, she has moved to a very woke town called Covington, and is renovating her recently croaked mad Aunts home,
name of which proudly be, Hangman's House

TONE OF BOOK

If you like Kenny G
or Kenny Loggins CD Unimaginable Life, you'll like this book

it's about a 9 and 3/4 on the mellow scale

the ✨ magical mellow scale

not dark at all.

the tone is light and upbeat

it's an interesting take on how in 2024 witches, magic
and the occult are evolving
by merging with spirituality and the original sourcerors

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

I really liked it when she described Thorne.
I really like that he has blue eyes.
I really like that he is kind of a bad boy.
I really like that he secretly harbors feelings for Brighton!

MERRIE THE CAT

be nice to have your own familiar wouldn't it?
personally my familiar would be a cute little white fluffy dog!

I loved it when the author first brought Merrie into the picture

she described the cat as big as a cougar.
I got a visual of a big black malevolent cougar when she wrote that.

this book is chock full of fun zany difficult lovable scary very human people

very human people who Believe themselves to be magical and witches

writing this book took real imagination on the author's part

I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THEY BRING MAGIC INTO THE STORY

I love that the house is magical and is completely adoringly capable of catering to Brightons every whim

I like that one of the witches in the story just does everything with her mind

The concept of magic is not dissimilar to what we are capable of doing with our minds, and that concept was brought into the storyline as well

VIBE OF THE BOOK

I really like the open-minded and out of the box thinking that it takes to be a witch

at times,
due to genetics or DNA, or magically bestowed birth gifts, or maybe, just maybe it is just your extremely strong intention on coming in, to remain YOURSELF.

these witches are in tune with basic laws of spirituality at times, other times they're just like anybody else with an ancient blood feud

did I mention there's an ancient blood feud going on!

well there is, just saying.

CUTTING EDGE CONCEPT

I really like the vibe the town gives off as being right up to speed with the power of the paranormal, the occult and non-physical intelligence

ascribing to the teachings of a certain teacher as I do,
some of the vibes and magic that Bourgeois speaks of are simply manifestations of a person being in alignment with source energy

I LIKE THAT BRIGHTON HAS TWO LOVE OPTIONS

one in a tall slender magical soul-eyed man named Remy
and the other in the hulky guise of an athletic very blue-eyed sheriff named Thorne

as a gay man looking for his thruple, I can relate to having more than one love interest!

I LIKE THE CHOCOLATE SHOP

can't remember the name of the witch that owns it, but I love the shop's murals and furnishings as described in the book
very imaginative colorful and darling if I may

All in all I would recommend this book to anyone, even my mad old Aunt Donna

this book is for anyone whose mother ever warned them off of watching Bewitched as a child

Now so many years later I see the basic intelligence of that show and marvel at how ahead of their time they were

this book is a product of all of that whether it knows it or not

thanks for this opportunity to blather on ..

most sincerely,
David Henry
the magical Man himself !

An easy fun read!

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a light, fun read. With all the chaos in our government today, this cozy book fit the bill! Just what I needed. Listened in bed before going to sleep. The story is enchanting. The characters are unique. The mystery gets resolved in this book, which I liked. Onto the next book.
