Not your crush's cauldron

April Asher

Book - 2024

"Olive Maxwell much prefers teaching about the supernatural world to taking part in it and leaves the magical shenanigans to her two sisters-the Prima-Apparent and Bounty Hunter-In-Training. But after assigning her college students a project designed to nudge them outside their comfort zones, Olive realizes that she's never once stepped a toe over her own...and it's about time that changed. Her first trip into the unknown? Moving in with her long-time crush-and friend...tattooed, motorcycle-riding, and pleasantly pierced, Baxter Donovan. Bax Donovan, Guardian Angel not-so-extraordinaire, has acquired so many black marks on his record it looked like a scantron sheet. He's given one last chance to keep his Guardian wings i...ntact, a high-profile Assignment he knows all too well. Olive is usually as low-risk as it got. Hell, she wrote the safety manual. But something landed her on the Guardian Affairs radar and his guess was it had something to do with the heart-pounding stunts she's determined to check off her Dare I Docket list. Keeping Olive out of trouble is about to be his toughest assignment yet, and not because he's forced to shake the dust off his feathers and embrace his inner aerialist. He's at real risk of shattering the only Guardian Angel Code of Conduct Rule he's yet to break: Don't fall in love with your Assignment. And he isn't so sure that's a bad thing. If love didn't play by the rules, why should they?"--

Review by Library Journal Review

Narrator Zura Johnson returns for the third installment of Asher's "Supernatural Singles" series (after Not Your Ex's Hexes). Olive, a witch and professor of supernatural studies, has always been the most reserved of the Maxwell triplets, focusing on her academic career rather than finding love. When circumstances necessitate her becoming roommates with guardian angel Bax Donovan, she's sure she will keep her crush a secret. What Olive doesn't know is that her friend has some secrets of his own. Assigned to the witch as her guardian angel, Bax agrees to help her mark items off her "Dare I Docket" list, bringing the duo closer than ever. Johnson's performance transports listeners to the supernatural side of New York City, as experienced by Bax and Olive. She captures the humor of the couple's misadventures, and her expressive delivery entertains. Using a variety of well-matched voices, she brings each character to life, most notably capturing Olive's reserved yet determined demeanor and the sultry, sarcastic nature of her close friend and succubus, Harper. VERDICT A charming supernatural romance. Listeners who enjoyed Johnson's performance in the first two books in the series will be equally delighted by the latest.--Amanda L. S. Murphy
