Story
I had it all. A powerful coven. A charming Victorian mansion. A sexy car. A couture closet. Credit cards up the wazoo, and an endearing familiar. Actually, scratch that, Hellcat would never be described as "endearing". More like: the bane of my existence. So, I almost had it all. Then a vampire came along and ruined it when he turned me into a Blood Witch. Now, I’ve been kicked out of my coven, kicked out of the mansion, I have no credit to speak of, the Lexus is a thing of the past, and not only am I driving something from the '80s, but it’s also unapologetically yellow.

Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

Story
I knew hot flashes were supposed to be hot, but I didn't expect flames. One day I'm in anger management, normalizing the cordial hate between me and my husband. The next, we're divorced, and he has taken both our house and the business we built together. I'm 40 years old and living above our empty restaurant, plotting my next move. And then the world around starts lighting up - literally catching on fire. I'm starting to think my defining characteristic may not be my snark or my cupcake-baking prowess, but spontaneous combustion.

After finding my soon-to-be ex-husband together with my soon-to-be ex-assistant, I realize his "for better or for worse" didn't include my 40s. An extended vacation on a remote Italian island sounds like the perfect antidote to a midlife crisis - until I arrive. I'm expecting Chianti and pasta. What I get is a run-down bed-and-breakfast with the oldest Nonna in existence. There's something about this island. Something odd. Like how everyone keeps calling me Mamma or how I'm the first tourist in decades.

The day after my 43rd birthday, my husband announced he was trading me in - his words, not mine. The news was unwelcome at the time, but honestly? I needed a good goosing to get up and find my way to the door. So I was freed from the giant manual of expectations authored by my ex. That was the good news. The flip side was less happy. Due to living in a state not friendly to discarded wives, I was also relieved of the financial "security" I'd spent a lifetime accruing.

You see, my family is cursed. Literally. At least that's what both Gram and Mom claim. I've never given much thought to their ridiculous superstitions, but when three local patrons from my mom's occult shop end up dead, even I'm a bit unnerved. So I decide to dive right into the crazy headfirst. And what I thought would be the end of my journey...may only be the beginning.

Publisher's Summary
Paranormal women's fiction from number-one Amazon best seller, J.R. Rain, and New York Times best seller, H.P. Mallory
A Haven Hollow novel
Welcome to Haven Hollow, a town of monsters....
After dating a string of losers and banishing a poltergeist, I packed up my Los Angeles life and my 11-year-old son, and moved...to a town in Oregon with a population of 680. Well, 682 now.
Culture shock anyone? Ahem, never mind that.... New starts can happen anywhere, right?
I hope so, because I need to start the next chapter of my 43-year life pronto. So, why Haven Hollow? For one reason - there aren’t any witches here. And a witch can make a gypsy’s life...complicated.
Oh, right, I’ve put the cart before the horse....
Hi, I’m Poppy Morton, and I come from a long line of Scottish gypsies - gypsies who possess magic and make potions to treat any and all ailments. It’s been my dream to open my own potions store and I’m finally going to do it - in the picturesque and small town of Haven Hollow.
Once my son, Finn, and I get settled in our two-story ramshackle, decrepit and rickety farmhouse (that happens to be bordering a cemetery), the nightmares start. And they won’t stop. Almost every night, I find myself face to face with a shadow monster - and its victim. And I’m fairly sure it’s the victim sending me the night terrors, wanting me to figure out the mystery of who or what murdered him.
But, I’m not really sure I want to get involved. Between facing a huge remodel of the above-mentioned “house”, getting my son situated in his new school, opening my potions store and dealing with one of the ghosts from my last house who somehow thumbed a ride to this one, I’ve got my hands full. Actually, more than full.
Good thing I’ve got a few handsome neighbors to call on - Marty Zach, a self-professed ghost exorcist who just happens to have the sexiest smile, and Roy Osbourne, a bear of a man who looks like he alone coined the word ‘lumberjack.’

love JR.
I've been a big fan of JR Rain for quite some time now. I try to binge read every book/series that comes out.
I've recently done audiobooks and I'm loving it. the narrator that's been popping up is Kelley Huston. she's fast becoming one of my favorites! you should check out her other works if you have the time!
On to the book!!!
I enjoyed this book. I did get a little lost and I felt like there should have been more background information on the characters. I legit had to look to see if I accidentally started the second book or listened out of order.
it's a cute quick and fun read. Poppy is a magic Gypsy. she can see ghosts and her and her son move to Haven Hollow. Freaky things start to happen and Pippy has sworn to just ignore it. She's promised her little boy Finn no more tag along ghosts after the most recent hell (this is where I got super confused, is this part of a different book maybe?) It doesn't go into detail about what exactly happens-- just kinda glosses over it. Unfortunately weird shit does happen and thst promise gets broken, especially when she begins to set up her own potions shop.
the story continues along this fashion about little mysteries and quirks happening in town. she has a crush on two of the residents. one not in the "know" and one of the locals. I'll let you decipher that meaning. 😏
Its a decent and easy read and I'll look into the next book for sure!

The Fastest I’ve Ever Listened to a Book
I’m pretty sure this is the fastest I’ve ever listened to a book. It was just so good! I love supernatural books and this one was even better than most. It’s a supernatural cozy mystery. The best of both worlds! The characters were lovable and mysterious at the same time. I spent the whole book suspecting each character of being something supernatural. Some of them were what I suspected, but others were pretty darn surprising. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. I hope it’s out on Audible soon. I can’t wait to listen to it. Kelley Huston does an awesome job as usual with the narration. It always feels like I’m sitting in a room with her and she’s just telling me a story in super vivid detail. It never sounds like she’s reading a book to me. It sounds like she’s living the book and telling me about it as it happens. That kind of narration just can’t get any better!

What the heck, that so was not cool how this book ended. like really. now I have to wait to see what comes next, so not cool. that's just so mean. anyways I really enjoyed this book I'm just so curious who she's going to end up with, or maybe she gets them all, okay I didn't like ophelia at 1st. she was kinda mean and for a minute there I thought she was the killer, but I so was wrong. this is a real enjoyable book. you guys won't be disappointed, well maybe a little because of the way it ends, I know I was. lol let's not forget the amazing narrator she did a really great job. well I hope book 2 doesn't take that long to come out because I can't wait to get it.

Promising story!
What starts off as a quaint town slowly turns into a sinister tale. As the story progressed I really enjoyed the main plot. There were some things that did go unanswered that I hope Poppy took care of and the authors just didn’t mention it again..for example the smell of the house. Or was that someone else’s doing?
I really enjoyed the mystery that surrounded the small town, and how all the guys were very hot and single. The villain in the story was unexpected! I can’t wait to see what trouble Poppy gets into next!
The narrators voice was perfect for Polly! I really thought that the narrator did a wonderful job in bringing the story to life. She used a variety of inflections and tones. Very easy to follow along and not get lost.

its a good start
The book feels like a part 2 of a series since there is a interesting back story mentioned but not really explored. I like the characters introduced and the middle aged characters instead of 20 something in paranormal fantasies. Only thing is romance and action is low and lead doesn't get in the action as much.

This book kept my interest the entire time and I really enjoyed the characters. Towards the end of the story I was a little sad because it really started getting interesting near the end. I can't wait for the second story to come out on audible! I absolutely love Kelley Hustons work she is by far my favorite narrorator she really brings life to the story :) * I received this free audiobook for an honest review*

A Fun Story To Start A New Paranormal Series.
I bought Gypsy Magic because it's part of the new Paranormal Women's Fiction (PWF) genre. I'm almost 50 and want protagonists closer to my own age. I've read books by H.P Mallory and J. R. Rain before and really enjoyed their writing styles.
This story is good, it's just not what I was expecting.
The main adult characters in Gypsy Magic are supposed to all be in their 40s or older. I like fun-loving personalities, many of the antics in this story made me chuckle. However, I expect adults of my own age to have certain world wisdom. I found our protagonist, Poppy, a very frustrating woman. Each decade we live, we gain knowledge, experience and life skills that affect our thoughts, actions and general worldview. Poppy felt like a twenty-something instead of a woman of 43.
Kelley Huston is a new-to-me narrator.
Kelley's narration of this story was OK. I liked the pace at which she read, however, it was lacking emotion. It wasn't a performance. Gypsy Magic is told from the perspective of our protagonist, Poppy. Was it Kelley's narrative style that made her sound too young or the writing? I'll only be able to answer this when I listen to more of Kelley's work.
Although I soon realised that Gypsy Magic wasn’t going to live up to my expectations, I did generally enjoy it. There weren't really any surprises and the plot followed the expected course but it was entertaining. There's a bit of everything; humour, suspense, tension and frights. There's even the potential of romance on the horizon. Plus, I loved how many monsters were mentioned (or hinted at) throughout this ghostly adventure.
I'll probably listen to more of the Poppy's Potions series at some point. After all, a town full of supernaturals - how can I resist! Lol!
