About this listen

Amelia Matthews' Italian getaway turns into her most dangerous adventure yet in this enchanting installment of the beloved Crescent Moon Inn Mysteries!

When innkeeper and reluctant psychic Amelia accompanies her boyfriend Oliver to a paranormal research conference on Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast, she's expecting romantic dinners and leisurely sightseeing. Instead, she discovers a sarcastic talking cat who's actually a cursed 1960s sea witch, ancient ceramic fragments that hold the key to preventing an underwater apocalypse, and a professor determined to exploit Oliver's newfound connection to mysterious merfolk.

With only days before a celestial alignment threatens to merge two worlds catastrophically, Amelia must master Italian baking, execute a midnight villa heist, and forge an unlikely alliance with an elderly baker-witch and a lovestruck fisherman. Can she save Oliver from becoming a permanent merman translator and restore the magical boundary between land and sea?

Perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell and Bailey Cates, this cozy paranormal mystery serves up Italian romance, magical mayhem, and plenty of delicious food alongside a heartwarming tale of love transcending impossible odds.

I enjoyed this book. There was no murder to solve in this book, instead the author treated you to a magical mystery that was so much more than the unusual cozy mystery. Amelia (and the listener) are swept up into an adventure on the coast of Italy, a place where anything can happen. Possibly even transporting you to Italy so you can taste the delights and smell the sea air, good thing for my waistline it was only through words. From talking cats, magical baking to mere people, a lot is going on in this book and I loved every minute. The story unfolds nicely and although the usual gang aren't involved, the new characters Amelia and Oliver meet are just as entertaining and special. This is a fun series that just seems to get better with each book and I can't wait for the next magical adventure. So glad I discovered this author.

Amelia is reluctant to join Oliver in Italy, she is happy with the way things are and doesn't want him to take the opportunity to propose in such a romantic place. She can't however miss out on all the sweet treats and a break from running her inn. When she arrives Oliver is caught up in lectures, giving her time to explore the village. She quickly picks up on the fact that not everything is as it seems but it is only after her powers show her a vision that she learns how different they really are. A talking cat needs her help, the sea witch was cursed and has been a cat ever since and now time is running out. A magical barrier between the two world's is crumbling and the only thing that can save it is if Amelia can find five shards and restore the tablet that the sea witch created before she was turned. An even greater problem is Oliver can't resists the call of the mere people and if she can't restore the tablet she could loose him forever.

I liked the narrator. She might have some of her own magic that she weaves into the telling because I was hooked right from the start. So lock your doors, sit back and enjoy.
