Audiobook review: Men Love Witches by Danielle Garrett
Men Love Witches opens with the Adam, Holly and the Inn doing well. They are preparing to host former housemate, Lacey, and her secretive vampire council meeting. Additionally, it’s just weeks before her wedding, and Holly still hasn’t found a dress.
As the eleventh book in this paranormal cozy series, Men Love Witches will be familiar to fans, yet it still brings a few surprises. Holly is busy with life, but when Lacey’s powerful necklace goes missing, she rearranges things to help solve the mystery. I enjoyed watching the gang work together to help their friend and potentially save Beechwood Harbor, again.
Men Love Witches definitely felt like the last book, but according to other review blogs, there is another coming. The author manages to wrap up a few ongoing storylines, and there are some highly emotional scenes. There are a few things out there that I feel the author has neglected follow up with, so I hope she touches on them in the final tale.
Narration: As always, Holly and her friends are brought to life through the performance of Amanda Ronconi, who has consistently done a wonderful job. Her interpretation of Holly is always spot on. Ms. Ronconi convincingly portrays Holly’s thoughts, concerns, and expressions. Her voices are all well-suited, and she gives paranormals their own fitting voices. However, I notice that as the cast gets larger, some of the characters start sounding similar, but due to writing, I can usually tell them apart.
Overall, I loved the story, and how it’s wrapping up so many threads. Men Love Witches is a cozy mystery, but it is more about all the changes in Holly’s life. It is a very heart-felt love letter to fans.

About the Book:
The big day is on the way, and Holly’s got the jitters.
She also has a house full of royal vampires out for blood.
When Lacey Vaughn comes back to Beechwood Harbor, she sure knows how to throw one heck of a welcome back party.
