About this audiobook
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Harper Lin: A Paranormal Mystery Series about Magic Cats and Modern-day Witches
Cath Greenstone, her cousin Bea, and her hippie aunt Astrid live in Wonder Falls, a small town near the mystical Niagara Falls. They run the Brew-Ha-Ha café, and naturally, they’re witches hiding in plain sight along with their three magical cats, Treacle, Peanut Butter, and Marshmallow.
When Brew-Ha-Ha's baker is burnt to a crisp, along with their beloved café, Aunt Astrid lets out a big family secret: a powerful spell book, a Greenstone heirloom from the Salem days, has been stolen from its secret hiding spot in the café. If it’s fallen into the wrong hands, black magic could destroy not only Wonder Falls but the world.
A secret society… A new detective with a shady past… A once-bullied local returning to town as a multimillionaire.
Who in town could know Cath’s family secret? Cath, Bea, and Astrid must use their witch powers to uncover the deadly truth. Cath communicates with their cats, also magically inclined, and they help uncover more than one secret lurking in wonderful Wonder Falls.
Readers are loving this charming, original and spooky paranormal mystery series.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Only got to chapter 4. The narrators voice ruined the story as I didn’t know who was who.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book. Had all the right amount of conflict, drama, romance and magic.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed cats , witches , story was even paced
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Harper Lin books. ESPECIALLY this particular series. Anyone who has ever met a cat knows that they have their own special attitude. Harper catches that special feline essence in her story telling. The human characters are just as well developed. By the end of the book, you're already picking up the next one to continue living in the world created by Harper Lin. I mean, who needs to eat anyway? There's only a couple of books left!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice, light read.
Several gaps in the story, in the audio not plot related. Have rewound several times to check, and the recording seems to be missing several seconds in more than few spots, so you will end up missing some dialogue and action, and then have to mentally fill in what occurred.
Powered through, but the sound goes out at least twenty times, including at the very end. :( - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thigh the book was a fun kids book, no I was not clear that kids are who it was written for. I really don't have anything bad to say about it but I feel like the characters could have been better developed.
