Starry Hollow Witches #1-3
Starry Hollow Witches
Welcome to Starry Hollow, where spells were made to be broken.
Magic & Murder, Book 1
Short on both cash and time, Ember Rose does her best as a single mom in New Jersey, serving up attitude along with repossession notices. When a repo job goes sideways, she and her daughter find themselves in imminent danger--until a visit from estranged relatives turns their world upside down. Ember, Marley, and their Yorkie are transported to Starry Hollow, a paranormal town where witches rule and magic is as normal as pizza. Where Ember goes, though, trouble seems to follow. When a member of the coven turns up dead and the sexy werewolf sheriff identifies Ember as a suspect, she decides to take matters into her own hands like only a Jersey girl can.
Magic & Mystery, Book 2
Ember Rose, descendant of the One True Witch and New Jersey transplant, is settling into her new life in Starry Hollow, along with her precocious daughter. It doesn't take long before Ember finds herself smack dab in the middle of another mystery. Someone is turning the town's most eligible bachelors into frogs, starting with her cousin Florian. Aunt Hyacinth insists that the newspaper investigate alongside Sheriff Nash because 'everybody knows werewolves track meat, not suspects.' Can Ember manage to catch the culprit or will these young princes of Starry Hollow be trapped as frogs forever?
Magic & Mischief, Book 3
When a handful of Starry Hollow residents experience their worst nightmares in real life, witch-in-training Ember Rose must use her budding journalist skills to figure out the who, what, why, when, where and how before it's too late. With both Sheriff Nash and Alec, her editor-in-chief, affected, the stakes have never been higher.
Will she manage to stop the curse before her own worst nightmare comes true?
These are full-length, humorous cozy mystery novels.
Other books in the series include:
Magic & Mayhem, Book 4
Magic & Mercy, Book 5
Magic & Madness, Book 6
Magic & Malice, Book 7
Magic & Mythos, Book 8

Fun series
Enjoyed the first three books. The main character, Ember, is likeable and strong. She is a single parent who has just moved to Starry Hollow and learned she is a witch. She has to train as a witch while also working as a reporter. Her newly found family is influential. The world, characters, the magical community all unfold as Ember pursues her investigation into the three different mysteries. I liked the series and will continue. I have the audio as well and the narration is excellent. The narrator's voice matches Ember and her accents, voices and pacing were good.

Nightmares can be real.
Ember is learning a lot of magic quickly but somethings can be out of her control. Starry Hollow is such an interesting place that I wish I could pop into the book literally for a visit. I would love to know what happens next in Ember and Marley's life but I don't know when I will get the chance to read all the books in this series. I have certainly devoured the first three quickly.

This box set contains the first, second, third, and short installment (4.5) of the Starry Hollow Witches series by Annabel Chase. These are the first books that I've read by this author, and I've got to say that I'm really happy to have found this series. It's well written and well paced, entertaining, and hard to put down. The storyline in these books is creative, and I found them very well worth the time to read. I'll gladly look for other books by this author at my library in the future.

The Surprised Witch.
This is book one of nineteen. It w ias a wonderful start to a great series. I just finished book 19 and gave it 5 stars as I had all the others. How Annabel was able to keep this series so enjoyable for 19 books is amazing.
The characters are well rounded and diverse enough to be individuals. No spoilers about they grow in the series, just that they do.
If you enjoy paranormal cozys then I am sure you like if not love these books.

Vacation for the mind
I loved this series. It's a delightful get away for the mind. Welcome to Starry Hollow, a different world where magic is commonplace. Live next door to an elf or meet a mermaid at the beach. Delightful and lighthearted. Some danger, some romance and a cast of fascinating characters.

Mysteries with magical nuances
When a new witch moves into Starry Hollow, the whole community takes note of the newest member of the Rose family. Books are lighthearted with few superfluous characters. The plots are simple and fairly basic. Easy and pleasant reading.

Quirky to say the least
Three easy to read quirky stories about an every day single mother who suddenly finds out that she's a witch with a family she knew nothing about,the box set was a steal but I won't be paying full price to read the rest.

Great stories
Fun read, Ember is a repo agent when she tries to repo a car from the wrong gangster...Her life changes when her cousins, that she didn't know about, save her and her daughter Marley just in the nick of time...such a fun refreshing read.

A very interesting paranormal read. A mixture of witches, werewolves vampires,fairies,and leperchans who live in one happy realm. Or everyone thinks. Ember did not know that she belong to this world but soon learn her way around the magic/

Bitter sweet!
I love this series so far, its sad but also has you laughing and following along to find answers. Each book gives you more and more about her families past. Looking forward to what happens next.

Fabulous series of book.
I couldn't put it down. The disappointment of finishing them has left a good that urgently needs filling.
I really hope the are more adventures with Ember and the rest of the Rose family.

Loved it
This was a unusual experience but I loved it I was so caught up in the story I didn't want to do things. I was really as eager to solve the problems as the characters in the book. I want more of this lead character.

Fun, slow burn
This is Fun to read, the main character is brave, a smidge broken, with enough insecurities to be relatable. Comedic with a background of tragedy, and self growth.
