Free as a Bird
When an old friend reaches out to Ellie, asking for help locating her missing coven members, she’s ready for her big comeback. Witchlight is financing the op, and it feels damn good to be official again.
But when her friend’s lies begin to unravel, Ellie realizes she’s let her ego lead her into a trap. And she’s brought her coven down with her. With the girls’ lives on the line, Ellie has to decide what’s more important—reliving her glory days or saving her best friends from a permanent retirement.

I think this is the last book in the Yard Bird series, but I do hope we get more adventures with Elle and her coven. As with most urban fantasy, I recommend listening in the order of their release.
An old friend of Elle’s reaches out concerned about a missing coven member, and Elle and her coven answer the call. All is not as it seems and the more they investigate, the greater the danger becomes. Elle realizes her coven and nephews are in great danger.
This delivered an intriguing mystery, and Elle finds herself at a crossroads. The story held me captive, made me laugh aloud and smile. If this was the end, it was a good one. Edwards has created memorable characters with Elle, her husband, the coven and her mischievous nephews, the townsfolk and extended family. Elle is a hoot, and I loved spending time with them all.
Stephanie Richardson narrates the series and brought Elle and the other characters to life. I highly recommend listening. Each book is under four hours and is perfect for a trip, or rainy afternoon. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

A happy ending to a delightful series.

Free as a Bird is a novella in the Yard Birds series narrated by Stephanie Richardson. It’s a short story set in the world of the Black Hat Bureau.
I recommend reading/listening to the Yard Birds series in order if you do plan to pick them up. You don’t have to read Black Hat Bureau to pick this up.
An old friend of Elle’s reaches out about a few missing coven members, and Elle and her coven answer the call. We soon learn all is not as it seems and the more the Yard Birds investigate, the greater the danger becomes. With the help of Elle’s nephew and a cute kitten/familiar they take care of the danger.
This audio delivered an intriguing mystery. The story held my interest and had me smiling and laughing at times. If it’s the end; then this is a good place to end. Edwards has created memorable characters with Elle, her husband, the coven, her mischievous nephews, the townsfolk and extended family. It’s a smorgasbord of fun and entertaining characters.
Stephanie Richardson narrated the Yard Birds series and brought Ellie and all her friends to life. These old broads are a hoot. Each story is under four hours and perfect for a road trip. I enjoyed the narration and story.
Rated: 3 Stars

Ellie and her coven answer the call of an old friend for help locate missing coven members, but all is not as it seems at first. The more they investigate, the more they realize there is something very wrong going on. When it comes to protecting her coven and her nephews, Ellie will do whatever it takes, even if it means she might have to give up on her dream to come out of retirement and be official again. It was nice to see Wally get to go into the field, as well as all of the shenanigans that Scrappy got into, which added humor to what was a fairly serious endeavor for the witches. I think this is the final story in the series, but I believe there is certainly room for more adventures if the author has a new idea for these fun older ladies.

I really have enjoyed this series! I love the humor and being a part of the Yard Bird's story. The characters are great! It is hard when you get older, so I've heard, but these ladies pull it off alright in my book! Ellie and her friends get into a bit of trouble when they accept a case. They want to try to help find some missing witches. What a mess that is! I had a fun ride with this book and I hope we get more from this series.

A very sweet ending to this short series that brought tears in my eyes 🥹 I love these old witches so much especially that firecracker Ellie 🧨
If you loved Golden Girls and urban fantasy you *must* read this trilogy! it's super sweet, funny, cosy and just overall delightful!

Series Info/Source: This is the third, and final, book in the Yard Birds series. I borrowed this on ebook from Kindle Unlimited.
Thoughts: This book did a very good job of wrapping up this series. I would love to have more of these characters, but this was tied up nicely.
Ellie gets a call from the leader of a different coven, some of their members have gone missing and Witchlight wants to reactivate Ellie's coven to help figure out what is happening. Once there, Ellie and her coven realize they have been lied to and things are not at all what they seemed.
As with all the books in this series this book was fun, highly entertaining, and humorous. I loved all the family and friends involved. Ellie's husband's soul is now bound to a charm around the neck of a kitten named Scrappy and this was hilarious. Scrappy is a, well, scrappy kitten and causes loads of trouble.
I enjoyed how this took a look at trying to reclaim your glory days and then realizing that maybe they weren't so glorious after all. Maybe the glorious thing is the very thing you have normally, day to day. This is a wonderful message and was a great way to tie up this series.
The world building is light here. I would have liked to learn more about Witchlight and seen Ellie get more resolution around her husband's soul being bound to an object. However, I also really enjoyed how things were wrapped up.
My Summary (4/5): Overall I really enjoyed this series. There is a lot of humor in here and a lot about family and aging. The mystery here is decently done and keeps you guessing. I love that this takes a look at aging and reliving glory days in a way that is heartfelt and honest. I would love to read more adventures about Ellie and her coven, but I do think they deserve the retirement they worked so hard for. This series definitely made me want to check out more of Edwards' series and I plan on doing that in the future.

There’s that quote that goes “All happy families are alike…” something that is probably a bit true even in tiny Samford, Alabama, where more of the families than even they know has at least a bit of witch blood nestled in their family tree.
Because that’s the way the witches planned it, long, long ago.
Even so, the families of Witchlight Hub Ellie Gleason and the members of her coven are just a bit different from most, as Ellie, Betty, Flo, Ida and Joan are all practicing witches, and their happy families have more than a few paranormal members, including Betty’s adopted sons, shifters all, and Ellie’s husband Wally, whose soul was cursed by a black witch into an (in)animate object. Currently that object is the bell around a mischievous kitten’s neck – so his lack of animation is occasionally up for debate.
Ellie and “her girls” have settled into retirement, more or less, sorta/kinda, however reluctantly. Ellie still itches for the “good old days”, or perhaps that for the “powerful old days”, when they all – at least together – had power to burn and more official, sanctioned missions than they could handle.
So when Leslie Brower, their former boss at Witchlight, also a retired witch and leader of her own coven in nearby Mobile, calls Ellie to tell her that HER coven members have gone missing and that she needs the help of Ellie and her coven to investigate the disappearances, Ellie is all in. It’s one last shot at an official mission and she can’t wait to get to it.
The rest of the coven may be doing it for Ellie instead of for any last grab at glory, but that’s the point of the story in more ways than one – they are all in it together, whatever may come.
Even if what’s coming is a sharp turn way, way, way into the dark side of the force – fueled by their deaths.
Escape Rating A-: All happy families may be alike, but the lives that follow from those happy families may follow diverging paths. As a result, happy endings are NOT all alike, and that’s the story of this last entry in the Yard Birds series. A series which turns out to have been Ellie Gleason’s journey all along and is marvelously narrated from her first-person perspective by Stephanie Richardson in the audio versions.
The problem for Ellie is that the shape of her happy ever after got thrown out of whack when a black witch cursed Wally into a plastic fish. He’s still with her, but he’s also not, both at the same time. Part of her restlessness and unwillingness to deal with being retired is that those good old days of power were the days when Wally was human in body as well as in spirit.
When this entry in the series begins, Ellie is as restless as she has always been. The coven’s powers have waned over their long lifetimes, and they don’t have enough magical ‘juice’ to be active Witchlight agents. But Ellie keeps their collective hand in, as has been demonstrated in the first two books in the trilogy, Crazy as a Loon and Dead as a Dodo. They may have lost a good bit of their magical mojo but their brains are still plenty sharp and capable – even if they are all one bad fall away from joining Betty in the mobility scooter brigade.
What made the case that brings Ellie to Mobile so fascinating, as well as such a perfect wrap for the series, is the way that it isn’t about the whodunnit, which was obvious early on. It’s about the “whydunnit” in a way that holds a mirror up to Ellie. Leslie is who Ellie might have been, who she was in danger of becoming, someone who can’t accept the things she cannot change and goes the worst route possible to stave them off. Ellie could have been the perpetrator in the right/wrong circumstances, which makes this every bit as much of a wake-up call for her as it is a dark and satisfying urban fantasy adventure for the reader.
The ending of Free as a Bird is the right one, bittersweet and cathartic as it gives Ellie – and her friends – something that no one ever thought Ellie would accept, that the life she has, right here and right now, in tiny Samford IS her happy place, even if she’s reached that place via a road she never thought to travel.
The saga of the Yard Birds has come to a somewhat surprising – especially to Ellie – conclusion. I’m going to miss Ellie and her dear friends and coven mates – as well as Stephanie Richardson’s voice in my ear telling me every single thing going through Ellie’s head along the way. Ellie may have finished with her adventures – although this reader/listener certainly wouldn’t mind hearing from her again – but the author and the narrator have teamed up on quite a few more books that I’m planning to pick up the next time I’m looking for a reading/listening pick-me-up!

Ellie and her coven are back and HOO-BOY do these ladies know how to get themselves in the middle of interesting things. And by "interesting" I mean maybe a little dangerous. And odd. But they have one another to lean on and Betty's shifter sons to provide some muscle and sometimes that's all you need to put the bad guys in their place. (On a slightly unrelated note, Zander is kind of my favorite of Betty's boys. He's determined and willing to drop the hammer when it needs to be dropped and I like that in a shifter.)
So. Ellie jumps at the chance to do a little fieldwork for someone she knew back in the day. While it seems like a cut and dried assignment at a glance, all the ladies think something more might be going on than what Leslie told them. Still, if another coven needs them, they're going to try to help. They're just going to be cautious about their sleuthing.
Being that these ladies have plenty of experience (and with Wally tagging along, they have a voice of reason in their midst), they soon start to uncover something a little more dastardly than they were led to believe. A little case of abduction, a kitten with plenty of spunk, a coven who stands together, and Ellie leading the charge. Man, these ladies are fun. Wild and unpredictable most of the time, but fun!

'Free as a Bird' is the final book in Hailey Edwards’ 'Yard Birds' trilogy, and while I’m a big fan of some of her other urban fantasy series ('Black Hat' forever!), this one was more of a “nice little snack” than a full-course meal.
I did enjoy the colorful cast and the strong female friendships—it’s always refreshing when women lift each other up. Also, major points for having a heroine who’s not just midlife, but let’s say... gracefully seasoned. 👵 (Though I’m sure the gang would be deeply offended if they heard me call them that.)
Overall, this was a fun, short break from the usual UF formula. I’m not crying that it’s over, but I’m definitely keeping an eye out for what Hailey Edwards does next. Speaking of—she has a brand new series coming called 'Groom & Doom', and the first book is titled The Vampire in the Potting Shed. Tell me that doesn’t sound delightfully unhinged. I'm in!

An old friend from Witchlight, the organization the Yard Birds used to work for, needs help tracking down her missing coven members, so Ellie and posse answer the call. Zack, Zeb Zander and Wally, (now more mobile) come along for the ride.
I love these women, especially Ellie, they’re hilarious. Add Scrappy, an adorably spazzy kitten, and the chaos this group of ladies bring with them, and it was bound to be an adventure solving this mystery. Obviously, a lot more is going on than what they were expecting and even more trouble. This was an exciting ending to a great series and one I highly recommend.

Ellie and Wally came to a decision about Wally’s future. Wally is now in a charm around kitten Scrappy’s collar. Wally is ecstatic but Ellie fears for his safety. Zander is working hard to train Scrappy but the kitten’s antics are fun even though they scare Ellie. In this book Ellie is contacted by an old acquaintance whose coven mates are disappearing. Ellie and the rest of the Yard Birds of course step into help. They quickly realize something is not quite right about the situation. Ellie and the girls stick it out and are able to defeat the enemy with Zander and Wally’s help. I really enjoyed this series and the ending is wonderful. Highly recommended.

With the 3rd book in the series, some of the cuteness that carried it this far has worn off. The story is more about the interaction between the old ladies and their friends and family while dealing with the actual "villains" is a story afterthought. It is still fun and a decent read, but the bigger story just falls really flat. After 3 books like this I want either more depth, or a less menacing larger story, so that focusing on the other funny wacky stuff does not feel like taking away from the main story.
What I have read here has yet to make me want to pick up a regular novel from Hailey Edwards.

Another great read
I love Hailey Edwards' books.
My o ly issue with this one is that some older ladies (not the core group) pinch one of Betty's (adult) sons on the bottom, and all anyone says is, "they're a bit handsy." I don't know if that's because of the characters' ages, or that the author doesn't find the behaviour to be sexual harassment (it is). Given how much focus the author has put on consent culture in other novels, I'm choosing to believe it's a choice for the characters.

Ellie wants adventure but when a not quite friend calls her up looking for help, Ellie and the Yards Birds head out to help. However, Leslie was truthful, and more coven witches are disappearing, and it looks like black magic is involved. When Joan is kidnapped and hurt, Leslie has gone too far and Ellie, the witches, Zander and the middles want her stopped. The banter is fun and Wally is also along for the ride with his familiar cat, Scrappy.

This was a great story! An old friend reaches out to Ellie for help. This friend used to work with the Yard Birds in the Witch Light. Ellie is very happy to be back in the saddle. But as the questions and concerns pile up, Ellie is starting to re-think things. Wally is now attached to Scrappy which gives Ellie pause at times. This adventure takes a very dark turn and it takes the whole crew to resolve. Great ending.

This one was fun! We had Wally getting used to his new home and the ladies feeling all useful and important getting called to help on a case. The case turned out to be so crazy! They did get it figured out, but the what was so awful! At the end they all take a vote about their future and it seems they come to decision, one they didn't expect, but works for who they are at this moment.

funny,, witches, shifter
Very enjoyable series with intense but very funny witches who do not let their age define them. Hope more stories are to come since they are such a good read.

Darn Good!
What can I say? Ellie and crew reminds me of the Golden Girl but way more bad@$$. Not sure if this is the final in this series but seriously, keep ‘em coming. I’d like to see more of these ladies future shenanigans.

great trilogy
I loved the bit of the Yard Birds in the Black Hat Series and was happy to have more. Although I have really enjoyed all of Hailey’s books, this trilogy is really special.

Fun to read, action , adventure and hot flashes
This is another quick moving story that is hard to put down once you start. The characters handle their limitations with zest and solve another mystery.

I love everything, Hailey Edwards writes. And this was no exception. She brought these characters to life and proved that age is just a number.

This was a good ending to the Yard Birds series. I enjoyed my time spent with this crew of characters.
They were a hoot. The series is well worth a read.
