Karma's Shift: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel: 2 (Magical Midlife in Mystic Hollow) Paperback – 22 July 2021

After all the action of turning her slimy ex and his younger mistress into toads (seems fitting) moving back to her hometown, discovering she is karma personified (don't be rude to barista around her you never know where your coffee will land up) finding out her childhood friends are actually witches. Her schoolgirl crush? yeah he's a bear shifter! Just as Emma is getting over all these revelations her brother was kidnapped, with the help of her witchy girl friends they find him and are able to help a group of preternatural beings at the same time. (no spoilers from me)Just as Emma is getting used to her new reality, mainly by sitting in coffee shops and making sure karma can be a bit.. hard on nasty people, she comes home to a body, on her doorstep, and its her friends ex husband, the one she threatened! With the sheriff looking at Emma closely, the old sheriff (being Andrew the schoolgirl crush) making tentative steps towards romance with her, Emma and the ladies must once again involve themselves in a supernatural murder mystery that hits close to home.Then there's the problem of her "missing" ex-husband, the one she turned into a toad by accident, he has been reported missing. worse it seems someone knows what she did, but until this murder is solved that one is on the back foot, but who would blackmail karma?A really interesting preternatural cosy. I do enjoy the older characters I can relate to them and don't feel quite so icky with the romance (Seriously I am 45 sometimes reading about a 20 year old's romance makes me feel a bit of a perv!) I love that karma is a person, (though does that mean there are many karma's all over the world dealing with all the people who deserve their comeuppance or is it purely focused locally where karma lives??) The romance with Emma and Andrew is sweet, both have sore hearts for different reasons and are tiptoeing around their feelings for each other.Clever storyline with great teasers for what's to come.

This is book two of the Magical Midlife in Mystic Hollow and the main character is Emma aka Karma and after returning to her former home, she was faced with her ex-husband and his young mistress, only to accidently turn them into toads! She’s trying to get her head around all of this and to hide it from anyone else. She also soon finds out that her old friends are actually witches and her best friend is Beth, whose ex-husband turns up dead on Emma’s doorstep after she had threatened him, leaving Emma as the main culprit. Bring in Emma’s former crush, Daniel, now an ex-sheriff and also a bear shifter, who comes to help to investigate the murder, bringing old feelings back to the fore. It also brings in her other former friends, all independent witches, Carol and Deva, as well as Beth. Emma has to try and get a handle on her magic, but she soon gets a threat, from someone who says they know what she did to her ex, in a series of handwritten notes! Emma’s ex has now been reported missing by someone and of course Daniel is notified about this investigation by the current sheriff as well. Someone is trying to blackmail Karma herself and that doesn’t bode well. The death of Beth’s ex-husband, soon turns out not to be natural as first thought, and definitely of supernatural nature, bringing Daniel into the case. Links to Beth’s ex-husband missing business partner and a very nasty and dangerous cursed creature, which is coming for Beth! The women all stick together to solve the case, but still need a bit of extra assistance to do so. A nice touch of romance starting up between Emma and Daniel, as well as Emma working on testing out her Karmic abilities, mainly in the local coffee shop! An amusing tale and more to come, as she grows into her powers and old friendships gain traction. She has made her decision as to where she wants to place herself for the future and will need to sort out matters at her former home and also reverse the spell on her own ex and his bit on the side! I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

After being stuck for a book I could get my teeth into I found this series, straightaway I fell into, sympathised and fought with these characters, getting third book now

I love this series! Paranormal romance and cozy mystery rolled into one.After returning to her childhood home to regroup following her marriage breakdown, Emma is learning how to handle her new powers. Of course, things never go as planned, and she's faced with both her own and Beth's pasts coming back to haunt them. There's also the very slow burn romance building with her former teen crush.Overall, a fun read, if a little different pace from what I'm used to from this awesome trio of authors.

Brilliant read. Loving this series.Emma is still in her hometown, hiding from what she has done as Karma. But she needs space to heal herself before dealing with her own problems and her friends need her more at this time. Beth is in need of good friends and more than her detective agency can do. Beths husband has wound up dead and all fingers point to Beth.Brilliant read. Cannot wait for the next.

Karma's Spell (Book 1) was a great read. Emma (FMC) was a cracking character that i loved from the beginning. So the 2nd book (Karma's Shift) in this series was just as good. If youve read the first book then you know what happened to her Ex and his horrible girlfriend. Emma's little coven (yes that was a pun because their witches) of friends just made this series for me. Theyre witty, fun and a down right great laugh. Things get complicated when Emma finds a body which just happens to be on her doorstep so to speak. A murder, plenty of laughs and a hot Sherriff/Ex School friend. It all makes for a cute great read

Emma is a Karma witch, she arrive home one night to discover her best friend Beth's ex dead on her porch. She is scared not just for herself but Beth as well. There is the issue of her ex and his new partner being toads to worry about. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to the next in this series.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
