Witching for Moxie: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel

I went into *Witching for Moxie* expecting another cozy paranormal romp, but what I got was a novel that balances humor, heart, and outright chaos with the precision of a well-cast spell. Gabra Zackman’s narration is a masterclass in tone—she delivers Iris’s sarcasm and frustration with the same warmth she gives to her tender, romantic moments, making it feel like you’re hearing the story from a best friend who’s equal parts amused and invested. The pacing is relentless, with just enough slow burns between magical mishaps to keep the stakes feeling real, though I did find the subplot involving Iris’s ex-husband dragged slightly in the middle act. Zackman’s voice work shines brightest in her portrayal of the town’s quirky residents, particularly the no-nonsense coven leader and the adorably chaotic ghost sidekick, whose lines land with perfect comedic timing. My only gripe? The audiobook’s runtime feels just a hair too long—by the final act, I was craving a bit more urgency to match the frenetic energy. Still, the payoff is worth it, especially for listeners who crave a heroine who’s as flawed as she is formidable. The romance is steamy but never saccharine, the magic feels earned, and the small-town witch politics are a delight. If you love your paranormal fiction with a side of bite and a heroine who refuses to be a pushover, this is your next obsession.
