About Renee:
USA Today Bestselling author Renee George writes paranormal mysteries and romances because she loves all things whodunit, Otherworldly, and weird. Also, she wishes her pittie, the adorable Kona Princess Warrior, and her beagle, Josie the Incontinent Princess, could talk. Or at least be more like Scooby-Doo and help her unmask villains at the haunted house up the street.
When she’s not writing about mystery-solving werecougars or the adventures of a hapless psychic living among shapeshifters, she is preyed upon by stray kittens who end up living in her house because she can't say no to those sweet, furry faces. (Someone stop telling them where she lives!)
She resides in Mid-Missouri with her family and spends her non-writing time doing really cool stuff...like watching TV and cleaning up dog poop.

Keeping the Peace . . .
Police Chief Hazel Kinsey keeps things in Paradise Falls running smoothly for the shifters and witches who live there. But when a rogue pack of werewolves crashes into town and wants to take over, things get messy. The wolves call for a fight to the death, the Rite of Arphilitian, and Hazel’s mayor husband Ford steps up to fight for his town. Hazel is sure that there is more behind this than just the wolves wanting a piece of the action. Has someone in town betrayed them? And what are they really after?

FurOut centers on a new and unsavory pack of werewolves which comes to town claiming rights to some abandoned property. It appears that they are using forbidden magic which may be tied to Adele and the Arete (book 1). Ford gets tangled up in a shifter rite which includes a fight to the death with the werewolf Alpha. Hazel is determined to protect her man and her town, but stubbles into trouble.
As I started FurOut, I was a little confused by some of the information being shared, until I reached page eight when it’s revealed that roughly EIGHT YEARS have passed! What?! I was a bit shocked, and honestly, other than aging some of the younger characters, I am not certain why the author did it. Here’s the thing… it appears that nothing has changed. Our heroine Hazel remains the police chief, and apparently she has not gained any additional magical acuity, she’s still disliked by the same citizens, and her character has not grown or changed in any way. The jump in time makes no sense to me and is not an effective tool, leaving me with more questions than answers.
How Hazel managed to work for the FBI for years before coming home is a wonder as she seems to cause herself and her investigations so many problems. This time around she acts impulsively and ends up banned from the investigation by her grandmother, the Grand Inquisitor. I was really frustrated with how quickly many of the town’s denizens believed the worst about Hazel. Again, if it had only been a year since she moved home, I could understand, but she’s been their police chief and neighbor for eight years.
New powers for some of the supporting characters are revealed in an all-too-convenient manner. The reason for the bad guy doing what was done is a good story. The conclusion of the mystery wraps up neatly.
Despite my nit-picking, in general I’ve enjoyed the Witchin’ Impossible Cozy Mysteries. The easy, quick stories are entertaining even with the flaws.
My Rating: B-

Police Chief Hazel Kinsey, a witch, and her bear shifter husband, Ford, the mayor are keeping the peace in their town of Paradise Falls. That is until a pack of wolves comes to town and create havoc, calling for the right to settle in the town. When the down votes them down, they come up with declaring the sacred Rite of Arphlitian which is an ancient ritual to fight to the death. The town must pick their fighter when Ford volunteers to fight for his town. Wow! Not what Hazel wanted to happen! Is there something more going on, using the rogue wolf pack for their own purposes? This is especially since the head wolf is found dead and Hazel is a suspect. This book has you turning pages until the surprise ending. And we can't forget Tizzy, Hazel's familiar, a red flying squirrel with all her own problems. This book is a great addition to the series, peppered with laugh out loud moments as well as the seriousness of saving the town of Paradise. I highly recommend the entire series and this 5th book is a great addition. I received an ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

FurOut by Renee George pub 8/29/24 5 stars
Hazel, Ford, and the whole town
The town depends on Hazel, now the police chief, and Ford the new Mayor when a pack of werewolves comes. Since their entrance doesn't fit in with the town's private, friendly citizens it is voted not to let them settle. The wolves demanded following an ancient law of a fight to the death to determine if the vote would be followed.
Hazel panicked when Ford volunteered to represent the town. Magic good and bad adds more danger. Someone is making it even worse. Is a citizen at fault?
Another good mystery with characters old fans have come to love and new readers will love as well. In addition to the mystery, some of the good guys are blamed for crimes. Tizzy, Hazel's familiar is helpful even with her own troubles. The little red flying squirrel will steal your heart and make you laugh out loud.
This is a good mystery filled with surprises and great characters. I do have one complaint for the author--I need more Hazel/Ford/Tizzy books!

Once again, not only Chief Hazel Kinsey and his mate Ford are facing a dangerous situation, but also the entire town of Paradise Fall is on the brink of the end. I was very interested in the intriguing and sinister situation surrounding the alleged culprits. A lot of history here with secrets and mysteries that were revealed. Something that seemed far beyond Hazel's control. Naturally, I was curious about the drama that seemed to surround Tizzy. This squirrel always gives a lot to talk about with his funny antics and now her not-so-funny situation. Lots of action and suspense, with some intense situations, many funny comments, strong emotions and an unexpected and scary character. I loved how the plot flowed, keeping my attention and enjoying the reading.

Hazel is enjoying the quiet that Paradise Falls is currently experiencing. Yep, it's really quiet. Really, really quiet.. Maybe too quiet? Not that she's wishing for any trouble! I mean, they deserve the quiet...right? She's definitely not glad a group of werewolves have arrived, stirring up trouble, calling for special rites... Woo hoo! I mean, sigh! They say be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it!
I love this series so hard! Sheriff Hazel (witch) and Mayor Ford (best shifter) are the best! As are the other witches, shifters, etc who live in town. The mysteries are always interesting, and Hazel's familiar, a squirrel named Tizzy, is a blast.
Highly recommend!

And we’re back in Paradise Falls, Hazel is now Chief of Police and her mate, Ford is the Mayor. Things are good, nice and quiet… but maybe a little too quiet? Just when Hazel thought it was a little boring, a pack of werewolves rolls into town and news has is that they are trouble with a capital T! In the effort to keep the people of Paradise Falls safe, Hazel and Ford questioned if they will be able to keep everyone safe from the werewolves. This is a fast-paced book and Renee keeps you guessing up to the very end! Can't wait for more!

The Witchin’ Impossible series was the first Renee George series I read, and it led me down the rabbit hole to other wonderful books. I love that Renee can write somewhat dark mysteries but mix in enough humor to keep the tone from being too heavy. This book is a bit darker and less humorous than I remember the series being (but it has been a few years). Despite that, it was fun to revisit this entertaining group of characters. I highly recommend this book and series.
I listened to the audiobook. The narrator did a good job voicing all of the characters. I recommend this version.

Hazel the witchy Chief of Police and her bear shifter and Mayor husband Ford face some twisted witchy and furry challenges once again.
Inter-species relationships between various supernaturals keep the town running, and negative sentiments might just tear it apart - in more ways than one.
Quirky tests of faith, family and dark magics versus creative thinking and difficulties with shifter law- a chaotic time once again. And a great read!

Trouble in Paradise ensues when some werewolves show up uninvited. Witch Hazel has what turns out to be a mess on her hands in what should have been a peaceful, fun barbeque. No spoilers, just know that this is a super fun, laugh-out-loud, paranormal mystery that everyone will just love. Recommend this without reservation AND, if you know ANYONE that thinks they don't like paranormal, have them read this book AND series, they will be turned! Another fabulous read.

Welcome back to Paradise Falls. Witches and shifters of all types and sizes living together in peace. Chief of police witch Hazel has little to worry about until a pack of werewolves move into town and start causing problems creating a situation that will test the town and Hazel and Fords marriage. Nail-biting mystery.

Hazel is back in action, protecting the citizens of Paradise Falls along with her mate, Ford, and her familiar. Evil werewolves, Beastwardens, ancient cults, all provide challenges for our heroine. In true Hazel fashion, she comes through in the end. Be prepared to stay on the edge of your seat with this book.

Hazel is about to do something that will put her and Ford on a path that might hurt their future as well as the town. A strong storyline, as well as wonderful entertaining characters. I reviewed a copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review.

For some reason, I really struggled to tonight this book and considered DNFing it. The beginning and ending were okay, but in the middle, I just couldn't get into it. Falling for obvious traps, making things worse each time she tried to help. The ending was cute!
August 31, 2024
Fun cozy mystery. Just as Hazel thinks she is going to get some peace things get even more complicated. Even worse, this time she is being blamed for the murder she has to solve. I love Tizzy.
