Story
There are only three things that were ever important to Noel Townsend - love, family, and magic. Two out of three aren’t bad. She’s blessed with a large close-knit family and her magic has never been stronger. But love? That ended three years ago when her husband walked out on her and her daughter, and never looked back. These days Noel only has room in her pieced-together heart for her six-year-old daughter. But when Drew Baker shows up on the doorstep of her inn with news of her husband, fate has other plans.

Story
Grace Valentine had the perfect marriage and a great career managing her husband’s real estate office. Or so she thought until three months ago when she was served with divorce papers. Thanks to her philandering ex, not only is she out of a husband, she’s out of a job, too. At the age of 45 with the help of her coven, Grace is ready to pick up the pieces and move on. But her only job prospect is at the rival real estate office, and it’s only for a trial run. She’ll need to prove that she can sell the haunted properties of Premonition Pointe before she’s hired permanently.

Welcome to Christmas Grove, where holiday magic and matchmaking is in the air. When Rex Holiday walks into the charming town of Christmas Grove, all he plans to do is to spend the season helping out at his buddy’s Christmas tree farm. What he doesn’t expect is for an overzealous matchmaker to slip a love potion into his cider. But the joke’s on the resident matchmaker, because not even a potent love spell can break through the walls he’s built around his heart. But when the girl next door catches his eye, some of his barriers start to crumble.

Story
Career-driven Dani Trahan wasn't interested in finding a husband. At only 28, she had plenty of time in her future to settle down and have a family, but for now, her sole focus was keeping her restaurant afloat. When tragedy strikes, however, she's forced to examine her priorities and relationships.
Rob Jackson didn't do relationships. He'd long ago accepted that happily ever afters didn't belong to him. That was a decade ago, right around the time he stopped believing in God. Then he met Dani, and for the first time in 10 years, he wanted to believe again: in love and in God.
To move beyond friendship, Dani and Rob must first accept several truths, but can they learn to rely on faith before it is too late?

When it rains, it pours...and sometimes love finds you even when you can’t find yourself. Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I'm a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosy and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right.

As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a “night out” includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local “coven” of small business owners who repeatedly invite me to their meetings - clothing optional. My life is weird. But it’s not magic. Magic isn’t real. At least, that’s what I believed - right up until the moment he walks into my store.

Summary
Welcome to Keating Hollow, the village full of love, magic, and cupcakes, where nothing is more important than family.
At age 18, after a spell tragically backfired, Abby Townsend left Keating Hollow and her magic behind to find redemption. Twelve years later, after being summoned by her family, she’s back.
As soon as she drives into town, she’s already plotting her inevitable exit, but she can’t quite escape the pull of the tightly knit magical community or the soulful gaze of the one man she’s never forgotten. And when a nine-year old witch not only leads her back to her magic, but also steals her heart, Abby’s about to learn what it means to embrace the soul of a witch.

Absolutely loved it
I've read quite a few of Deanna's books and had kind of expected this to be similar to the rest, but I was wrong. The only demons present in this story were the internal ones of the main character - that in itself can be a bit refreshing sometimes! This was a simply nice and very easy to listen to story about a witch and her internal struggle with her perceived guilt and her inability to leave the past where it belongs to the point where it has affected her ability to use her magic effectively.
I loved the story and can't wait to read/listen to more.

Soul of a great listen
Book 1 in a series. First that I listened to from the author . Deanna Chase the author wrote a story that will have you listing till the end . She wrote a strong heroine, that in some instances will make your heart break, you will want to cheer her on and tell the heroine not to give up .
Heroine is Abby. Hero is Clay .
Abby knows she needs to run and start somewhere new other then Keating Hollow. Her powers are playing tricks with her , what I mean by that is they are getting weak and acting up . Her family is at Keating Hollow and so is the love of her life , Clay .
So goes to New Orleans and settles there . But she still wishes she’s back home. Abby has a chance to go back home when she gets an emergency call about her dad . She wonders if Clay is still in the village or did life pull him away also . Will Abbys powers get strong like they are suppose to . Is Clay and Abby get together. Grab it and see .
Gabra Zackman performance was great . Her voice is strong smooth and clear . The tones for the characters were spot on

Fun and fast read!
This story was great, and surprisingly not only about witches, but so much more! I loved the family dynamic in this book, and the bond of sisterhood. This story really had something for everyone. It includes magic, family, friendship, redemption, love, drama, and tragedy! I would absolutely recommend this books to my girlfriends. I could see this series and character developing and continuing for years to come. I received a copy of this book from the author, my review has been voluntarily submitted.

Witches of Keating Hollow Series
These are super cute books, albeit short and pretty quick reads. The narrator is pretty good and the stories flow pretty well. I am a litle disappointed that the witch angle is not really integral to the plot... they are more mundane stories that happen to involve witches than stories driven by paranormal drama. And, as someone with some "witch" friends, there are a few inaccuracies (few real wtiches celebrate Christmas... it's Yule they celebrate, and no witch in her right mind calls them VooDoo dolls... they're poppets), but the stories were still cute and I am planning on reading the next one as well as the Christmas ones. If you want an "Awww" book to read and aren't too upset with the lack of paranormal drama, then you will enjoy these books.

Enjoyable but shallow
I like the premise but the book doesn't give much scope to the world outside of the main clutch of characters. lots of questions are left only vaguely answered. Is magic all over the world, part of things, how much so. the romance was to quick to sudden there was no building. The plot line, while mildly intriguing, was more suited for a side plot. even taking into account that this book was likely a jumping point into deeper story waters it was rushed and thin. Character and relationship growth and development is jumpy at best racing and then stagnant. A pleasant enough read, with a very pleasant voice actor ( though the change from character to character can be a bit minimal) but not enough to entice me into the rest of the series.

Heartwarming
I loved every second of this story! Abby and Clay’s chemistry is off the charts. Deanna Chase has me going through every emotion that the characters are feeling, and the complexity of each character, including the supporting ones, was refreshing. Abby carried the guilt and loss of her friend for 10 long years, and returning to Keating Hollow she begins her rebirth. When she finds her full magic again, my heart was so full love. Olive and Clay’s story is heartbreaking and I loved the end of the story when they both find happiness. Beautifully narrated!

Contemporary Romance - Yet Witchy
This was my first book experience with Deanna Chase and have to say I was pleased. Because I was short on reading time, I chose the audio version. The narrator was commendable though I would say she has a soothing voice so I had to work harder to listen and not doze off. Her characters are very relatable although they are in a paranormal witch world which make them captivating. There isn’t anything that stood out to me about them, yet her storytelling made them well-liked. I didn’t know anything about the story when I began, so I was surprised when I finished that it ended up being more of a contemporary romance, with witches. I kept expecting them to face some form of a villain or adversity, but the only adversity they face is themselves and their own intra-personal relationships. It’s refreshing; yet I usually enjoy books with a bit more action than this, so it ends up being a bit underwhelming. Since there is no outstanding villain or issue, I would personally say the book could be read as a stand-alone and you would be satisfied with the ending. I will have to say though that the ending made me bawl like a baby. Flat out ugly cried. It was heartwarming, but man did it ever hit home with me. After a short break for some other more thrilling books, I’ll probably pick up the series again just to see what happens in the next chapters of these characters lives.

Okay book and barely okay narration..
Hmm.. Not sure how I felt about this. Logan was an unnecessary character. He was only mentioned when Abby was breaking up with him, on the phone, in an email and then in person when he showed up where she lived.
And one reviewer on Amazon gave it one star because it was so sad. I have no idea where she got that from. Abby's dad had cancer and was sick a couple of times but overall he was a great character.
I liked Abby and Clay, and Clay’s daughter Olive, as well as Abby’s 3 sisters and her dad. BUT there just seemed to be a lot of rambling going on but nothing was really happening. I won’t be reading anything else by this author.
No sex, no swearing. Not much of anything, really. Definitely a G-rated book.
As to the narration: Gabra Zackman was barely okay for me. Through the entire book, no matter what she was reading about, it sounded soft and romantic. Even when Abby was talking to her therapist it sounded romantic. No different tones in her voice.

WOW
What a great romance/life story! I was completely immersed in it from the beginning. Gabra Zackman did a wonderful job with the narration, making you feel like you were right there in the town, with the characters. Deanna did such a wonderful job, that I felt Abby and Clay's pain, frustrations, happiness, joy and love. An excellent beginning to the Keating Hollow series and I am looking forward to starting the next book!
