Amazing !!!

Not even close to my favorite genre!
The shortest audiobook I’ve ever listened to !

And yet E. J. Stevens have done the impossible !

28 minutes, that all it took to beautifully write a complete story, really beautifully executed.

If you would have asked me before I’ve listened to it if I could like it a 28 minutes book and I would have said it’s impossible, And i would have been wrong.

Using Melanie A. Mason to narrate this one was a perfect choice.

I still don’t understand how it was done and how the author got me to like this short but still excellent writing complete story.

Yes I do recommend it to all.


I believe that my review was honest even so that I got the book for free.

Loved it!

I have to say that I had already read this story a couple of times.
You know when you read a book, then listen to the audio or see it on screen?
Alot of times who ever is portraying the character you love doesn’t mesh with your vision of that person?
It really stinks, right?
Well Ms. Mason nailed it as far as I’m concerned.
As for the story?
Well I’m a big fan of both E.J. Stones and Ivy (Jinx’s too) so it’s great to hear about them before we meet some of the other regulars in the series.
I show their relationship more closely because it is just them and their client.
Looking forward to the next book from this Universe.

I was luck enough to receive this audio from Ms. Stevens, but any opinions given are honest and my own.

What she doesn't know could kill her!

I really enjoyed this prequel short story introducing Psychic Detective Ivy Granger. Warning! This story should not be read after eating or if reader has a squeamish disposition. The reader gets a really good sense of what makes Ivy tick and I can't wait to listen to her future adventures. I may never look at grass the same way again....

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Really Good

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I really enjoyed this short prequel to the Ivy Granger series. It was really interesting, but quite creepy, and it makes me want to read more in the series. The main character was pretty awesome, and I think her abilities sound pretty cool. The narrator was perfect for the main character, and the audiobook just felt really great.

Ivy rocks

I love this character and her adventures with everything paranormal. Being able to listen to amazing stories is such a wonderful thing. And all the ivy granger books are fantastic, refreshingly funny and sassy with a few scares along the way.

Great little slice of the series

I’ve enjoyed all the Ivy Granger audiobooks so far and it was nice to jump way back to the beginning of the series with this prequel short story. Ivy and Jinx run a private detective business. Ivy has the paranormal abilities and Jinx gets along with the public. It’s obvious these two ladies have been friends for some time and work well together.

This short story gives you just a peek into Ivy’s world. There’s ghosts, danger, fairy dust, a mystery to solve, and more. It’s a great way to check out the series to see if it’s right for you.

I wouldn’t call this a cozy mystery urban fantasy as the tale has some grit to it. A little kid needs help and Ivy is hard pressed to find a way to do so. I like the darker side to this series even as a bit of humor and snark is mixed in. Being a fan of the series, my one little complaint is that it is indeed a short story. Looking forward to the next installment in the series! 5/5 stars.

The Narration: Melanie A. Mason does a great job with Ivy’s voice and Jinx’s practicalness. I liked her spooky little kid voices and Big Baddie voice as well. Mason gives a great performance with unique voices for all the characters. The pacing is perfect and there are no technical issues with the recording. 5/5 stars.

Psychic detective prequel

Really enjoyable entry to the world of Ivy Granger. Even if it just an half an hour listen still it enough time to get know main heroine and town she lives in. Supernatural creatures described here attracts my attention. Narration was well done.
