About this listen
Francie Vespertine has lived all her life in a supernatural town full of powerful witches, but her own magic is lackluster at best. The only place she fits in is the Magical Archives. Head librarian (and bookworm extraordinaire) might be a boring job . . . if it wasn't for the ghosts of fictional characters haunting the shelves.
Between stopping Captain Ahab from wreaking havoc on aisle three and keeping her fussy feline familiar satisfied (he only eats wild-caught Pacific Salmon, thank you very much), Francie's established a comfortable routine-which is just how she likes it.
Until a historian is found dead in the Non-Fiction section and Francie's life goes from cozy to mystery.
Half the town saw Francie argue with the man only hours before he was murdered. The Werewolf Law Enforcement Brigade is eager to close the case, and with Francie as the prime suspect, she has to find the real killer or trade her beloved library for a jail cell.
She's got a lot on her plate.
Fortunately so does Kongressman Kittles. But maybe if Francie keeps his piled high with Lobster Thermidor, then he'll get off his silk pillow and lend a paw . . .

One big hairball
This was just not for me. The story was too slow and didn't really get anywhere before going off in another direction. It was almost as if the author couldn't decide what the story was about and throw everything in, in the hopes that an entertaining story would come out. Sorry too much going on and I struggled to finish. There was some good points like the ghost of Captain Ahab haunting the library was a lot of fun and full of mischief. I liked the characters just wished the author put more time into the mystery than the romance angle.
Francie as the one in her family with the least magical powers she is quite happy to take care of the local library, where only books suffer from her spells backfiring. Until she has an argument with an historian and banning him from the library puts her at the top of the suspect list when he turns up dead. Everybody in town knows about he argument including the The Werewolf Law Enforcement Brigade, who she has a past relationship with. The death also caused the magic school to cancel the try outs and with her own niece effected by it and Francie's own freedom in danger she has no choice but to try and solve the murder herself. Even if the only way to get her stubborn familiar to take his medicine and help her investigating is to promise to try harder with her magic lessons.
I liked the narrator. She did some entertaining voices.

twisted storyline
lots of subplots and misdirection to keep you interested as you found out who, and why, killed the victim. interesting and varied characters with different back stories, a slow brewing love interest that may, or may not, come to something in future books.

Kong the kitty
I really enjoyed the story, I listened to it when I would get ready to go to bed. I really like the characters and how the lady reading the book uses different voices for each character. My favourite character was Kong the cat. He was wonderfully portrayed! overall, a great listen for younger people as well as older.

I said, he said
The story was easy to listen to but far too many I said he said and once you notice it it’s hard to concentrate on the story

A quick fun read
This is a nice light read, the main character is a Witch who loves books and working in the archives but isn't really that gifted with magic. Her familiar is a sarcastic food obsessed cat with a hairball problem. She is surrounded by crazy family members and her life just got a lot more complicated with a gift from her uncle and a body in her workplace. Looking forward to reading the next one in the series.
