Selkies are a Girl's Best Friend by Molly Harper
3.0
I love Molly Harper. I love her blend of sweet and snarky.
That being said, the Mystic Bayou series is not my favorite. There are funny spots, but it comes across more often as glib rather than witty. And I think the books are too short. Everything feels a little too rushed. Insta-love, angst that doesn't have a real reason behind it, and a rushed suspense plot line.
The books feel a bit like cupcakes: enjoyable, but no substance behind the sweetness. But they're free as part of the Audible Escape package and are definitely worth the listen.
Cover: striking! What a gorgeous cover model to play Sonja.
Narrators: Amanda Ronconi is the very best part of this experience!
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: Sonja is a Slytherin. And I think Will is a Gryffindor.
Themes: Louisiana, magi/supernatural, small town, selkie
