Most witches don't work for police departments, but Michelle isn't your average witch. She's clanless, looking for a wizard who isn't offended by her lack of family connections, and in danger of losing her job if she can't find the escaped trolls before they start eating the local residents.
Trolls, angry police, and misbehaving spells are the least of her problems. Statues attacking homeowners might be problematic for your average witch, but to Michelle it's another day at the office. Her real concern is the wizard suddenly interested in dating her and an old elf set on pestering her. When her happy family is rocked by a long kept secret her stable life falls apart faster than she can pick up the pieces.

~~~REVIEW~~~
STORY 3.5 Stars PERFORMANCE 4 Stars
I love reading /listening to urban fantasy stories. Witch for Hire is my intro to N.E. Conneely. I am thrilled with the concept of the story since it combines witches, suspense, and mystery. However, I felt like the characters were underdeveloped and there were a lot of them to keep up with. This is the main drawback I have with this story. Some of the secondary characters seemed unnecessary. For example, there were new dinner guests at the B&B each night which contributed nothing to the storyline. It came off as just filler.
Now aside from that, I did enjoy the MC. Michelle Oaks is developed and becoming more complex as the story progresses. I am interested in her past and the secrets it holds. I like that Michelle works with the cops to solve crimes involving magic and supernatural creatures. This aspect puts a unique twist on the story.
I definitely plan to listen to the next audiobook in this series. I need to know more about Michelle's past and I am hoping the story itself become more cohesive.
The narrator did a great job with the story and the characters. I enjoyed her adaptation of Michelle. This certainly aided in keeping my interest up.
