Story
Forty-something Defiance Dayne only recently discovered she comes from a long line of powerful witches. Added to that was the teensy, infinitesimal fact that she is what's called a charmling. One of three on the entire planet. And there are other witches who will stop at nothing to steal her immense power, which would basically involve her unfortunate and untimely death.

Story
Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram, didn't get that memo. All Sunshine really wants is one easygoing day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with takeout pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that’s about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)

A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper. Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light”. But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all.

Until I can get some answers there, I distract myself with a new job - working for a goblin. The job is as simple as hiding some paperwork for him. Only...someone else wants what he gave me. And they are playing dangerously dirty to get what they want.

Publisher's Summary
Divorced, desperate, and destitute, former restaurateur Defiance Dayne finds out she has been bequeathed a house by a complete stranger. She is surprised, to say the least, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She leaves her beloved Phoenix and heads to one of the most infamous towns in America: Salem, Massachusetts.
She's only there to find out why a woman she's never met would leave her a house, a veritable castle that has seen better days. The lawyer assigned to the case practically begs her to take it off her hands, mostly because she's scared of it. The inanimate structure that, as far as Dephne can tell, has never hurt a fly.
Though it does come with some baggage. A pesky neighbor who wants her gone. A scruffy cat who's a bit of a jerk. And a handyman bathed in ink who could moonlight as a supermodel for GQ.
She decides to give it three days, and not because of the model. She feels at home in Salem. Safe. But even that comes to a screeching halt when people begin knocking on her door day and night, begging for her help to locate their lost objects.
Come to find out, they think she's a witch. And after a few mysterious mishaps, Dephne is beginning to wonder if they're right.

Looking Forward to Next Book
Yes, this book does have a lot of the same similarities as (Charley Davidson- Grim Reaper series) and Defiance just found out she's a witch and she's 44 not in her 20's. She has a huge, old, creepy house named Percy while Charly lived in an apt. right? She's been left an inheritance and is no longer poor wondering if she can afford to buy a sandwich. It's a good start to another series by Darynda Jones and I enjoy her stories, charm and witty humor. Can't wait for the 2nd book in the series.

Liked this first book
I liked the first book enough to move on to the second one. I have been to Salem a few times as a tourist and could almost picture where Percy is located and what he would look like.
The story is good, I like listening to a story that applies to me and my age group. Some of it seems far fetched, like who finds out that they are a wealthy divoriceee with a great place to live?
It can be slow moving some times but I like the author and the narrator.

Absolutely Love this book
This is the first book I have listened to from this Author and I am Extremely Impressed. This book is Great! I found myself counting the minutes til I could listen to more of the book. I don’t want to reveal to much info about the story line but I can honestly say the story is interesting, exciting, funny and a little Sexy. The narrator does a Amazing job with the voices of characters. She is definitely one of the best I have ever heard. I hope there will be Many more books in this series.

Fun but not enough time to invest fully
This was really difficult to rate. On one hand I loved the boldness of the story it wasn't afraid of trying new things, the characters were snarky and middle aged but on the other hand something was missing. A big something. More explanation or just more happenings in this world. I wasn't given enough to want to continue. Like the book was more of a sample than a meal.
But omg finally a middle age fantasy romance. I mean not everyone is a 20 year old virgin. This tale was lighthearted and fun although a bit predictable. The memes and shirt quotes were my favorite. And while I did get lost in the snarky fun, the book had it's problems. Dayne 40 something didn't talk or act like her age. There also wasn't full proof why Grandma had to stay away and not train her to use her powers. And how Dayne apparently didn't need to train because she just had the symbols floating in her head from birth.
Dayne procrastinated continuously even to save her own life. Again she was middle age which is so very rare for some reason but then again she was also super special which isn't that rare in the book community. Her best friend was very wild and fun which added nicely to the story. And when the both became brain dead and drooling when Roane walked into a room, that had me in stitches. My biggest problem was that the book didn't give enough. It left you with a cliffhanger and not enough time to get invested so I didn't feel compelled to continue.

Betwixt/Between Charley Davidson & Sunshine series
Darynda Jones’ three series (Charley Davidson, Sunshine Vicram, and this Betwixt & Between) all have:
-Snarky female MC with a family that keeps secrets from her
-dark and dangerous eventual love interest with a secret, angsty past
-BFF to provide comic relief
-funny sayings to start off chapters
This series is more like the Charley Davidson series because (1) this series takes place in a world with magic, (2) Annette, the BFF here, is sassy and adorably obnoxious just like Cookie, and (3) Defiance is the same sort of “special” Mary Sue type of character as Grim Reaper Charley Davidson. Only, instead of having a mystery procedural to make each book longer, it seems this series cuts that aspect out and just focuses on Defiance the unknowing, but instinctively uber-powerful witch. In some ways, that makes these books more fun. But, it also makes these more of a popcorn read, and best bought on sale in order to get one’s money’s worth.
I’m hoping two issues will be addressed as the series progresses:
1. Unfortunately, the fact that Defiance is 44 years old didn’t really do much for me. The entire plot could just as easily have involved a 34 or 24 year old Defiance. As a listener who is older and divorced, I was hoping older would mean stronger and smarter; instead Defiance starts book 1 at rock bottom. In future books, I hope she represents us “mature” ladies better.
2. I’m a tad exasperated by Darynda’s fixation with her formula ingredients, especially her thing about keeping the MC’s destiny secret and revealing one juicy piece at the end of each book. In this book, the whole keeping secrets thing made zero sense, except to create contrived plot twists.
But, common sense aside, if you just roll with the story, there’s humor, magic, and enough fresh features to merit a matinee listen. I like the better diversity, even if it’s in the supporting characters, like black Sheriff Houston and Defiance’s two dads.

Frustrating listen
The main character is almost 40 and acts and thinks like she's 16. Repetitive immature dialog. I couldn't get past chapter 10. Narrator is barely good.
I do not recommend this audiobook.

Story is great but I have one tiny nit
A few small spoilers so if that’s not your thing skip this review.
The premise - A 45 yo recently divorced woman finds out she has powers. Ok cool you got me, I bought the book, I’m a 50 yo divorced woman who is waiting for her secret powers to emerge. Next - her long lost (she was adopted by two supportive dads) recently deceased Gigi finds a very ingenious way of telling her “before you do anything else you have to put a protective spell on yourself and the fabulous house I left you otherwise ALL The bad things are coming for you.” Now, she has to catch up to,” I have power, what!” “I need to figure out the basics of using these powers,” ok. But the first thing my-self-preservation-ass is doing is protecting me and mine. Nope, not this one. She stops to ask questions that have no relevance to training, to getting this task done. It has relevance to the story, yes! But every time she said I wont do anything to protect myself or those with me until you explain this I seriously thought, you are not my people.
However, the story, outside of that bit of annoyance is really good!!! I love the humor! The supporting characters are great. There is a living house aka granddad, Gigi, best friend, journey man, police chief, married neighbors who live in separate houses on each side of the house, and Salem, MA.

Sighhhh. Grow up Defiance!
Traci was awesome! The book premise is great! But no 44 year old woman acts like Defiance. She acts more like she’s 25, maybe 30 than 44. I love LOVE DJones other books, but Defiance’s naive tendencies are just not believable in a middle aged woman. There were times, where I was just downright frustrated with the antics and had to stop listening.

Another Darynda Jones hit!
I loved the combination of the unremarkable with the paranormal in this book. Defiance is a middle aged down on her luck ordinary woman who is swept into a magical world. She is totally blindsided by the discovery that she has a heritage and a mystical past that will shatter her present. A must read for all magic lovers.

Can't find a way to like the mc
She's so freaking whiny. Unbelievably negative. She went thru a hard time and experienced real loss and hates herself for being stupid - which she was. She also lashes out at everyone around her, especially her grandmother. Every single thing her smarter and more informed and experienced grandmother says is met with verbalized disbelief and criticism. The grandmother is the only likeable character and it's frankly disgusting the way the mc treats her. She's more polite to her larcenous ex mil who stole everything from her. Ugh. There is not a redeeming quality in our incredibly whiny and self centered mc. Even her love interest isn't credible,.simply because our mc is the least loving, most nasty and defensive character ever. Where did all the high ratings come from??? Totally undeserved.

the narration is great, the book is not
this is a poor example of an airhead in her 40s. I really tried liking the book, because the narration was great, but nope.
it reads like a bad cartoon, where all you can think is what the next innane bubble will spew at you.
it is the story of nothingness magical. waste of time.

What I hoped for
I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I listened to all the other Darynda books on audible and was hoping the same quirky, seductive fun was in this one. I was not disappointed. The cliffhanger has me at the edge of my seat. The narrator is new to be but did a phenomenal job! I will be listening to the next in the series!

Best Book I’ve Read in Ages
I loved this book! I haven’t had such a funny paranormal romance in years. I’m only bummed that the rest of the series isn’t on audible yet. I just bought the series in paperback from Amazon and it should be here tomorrow. Can’t wait to read book 2.
