Magically Delicious

Stephanie Riggio’s narration is the cherry on top of this already-delicious paranormal sundae. She nails Trixie’s exasperated, pregnancy-plagued energy from the first syllable, shifting effortlessly between snarky one-liners and tender moments with a voice that’s equal parts sassy and soothing. The real standout, though, is her ability to sell the absurdity of Peterman’s world—whether she’s voicing a grumpy vampire’s British accent or a cursed bakery’s sentient cupcake (yes, really), Riggio commits to the bit with such enthusiasm that even the most outlandish scenarios feel grounded. That said, the production hiccups are hard to ignore: a few abrupt cuts and volume spikes in the second act made me wonder if this was a rushed release, and the ending wraps up just a *little* too neatly for a story that thrives on chaos. Still, these are minor stumbles in an otherwise delightful listen. The chemistry between Trixie and her snarky familiar, Jinx, is electric, and the world-building—complete with a magic system that’s as flawed as it is fun—feels like a love letter to anyone who’s ever wanted to hex their neighbor for double-parking. If you’re craving a romance that’s equal parts heart and hex, with a side of supernatural snack attacks, this audiobook is your new binge-worthy obsession.
