Description from the publisher:

Welcome to Lucky Valley, Colorado, where nothing is quite what it seems.



Lily Goode wasn’t aware she had an inheritance waiting for her in the form of a huge Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. Life might finally be coming together for her. That is if you don’t count the endless home repairs, dealing with eccentric Aunt Polly who claims they’re both witches, and Nolan Dawson the handsome home inspector who seems to have it out for her, then, sure, life is grand. Oh and not to mention the strange hallucinations and garden gnomes who are far more than lawn ornaments.



If mysterious accidents don’t do her in, then the rebellious gnomes just might. With the help of Aunt Polly, it’s up to Lily to discover who’s sabotaging her new home and trying to drive the Goodes out of Lucky Valley once and for all.

BETTER HAUNTS AND GARDEN GNOMES is the first book in the (Un)Lucky Valley series.  I believe you’ll need to read them in the order of release.



Perfectly quirky, paranormal, cozy mystery romance.  This is fun and entertaining with a cast of characters with an amazing array of powers.  I thought it was a great start to this new series, and there were tons of belly laughs.



Narration:  B.J. Harrison does a beautiful job of providing the voices for the different characters – I especially loved Aunt Polly.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audio BookCrave, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
