Jayne Frost is a winter elf, Jack Frost's daughter, Santa Claus's niece, heir to the Winter Throne, and now private investigator. Needing someone he can trust, her father sends her to Nocturne Falls to find out why employees at a toy store are going missing. Doing that requires getting to know the town, which leads to interesting encounters with a sexy vampire, an old flame, and an elevator that's strictly off-limits. The more Jayne finds out, the more questions she has, but the answers lead her deeper into danger.
What happens when an accountant decides to grab life by the horns and try something new? Apparently a pirate named Dave, a lot of pastel fleece, and blackmail - just to start with. Visualize and succeed, Oprah said. I was sure as hell trying, even if my campaign to score a job as the local weather girl had ended in a restraining order. Okay, TV was not my strength. But a lack of talent has never stopped me before. Which is why I've embarked on a writing career. I mean, how hard can it be to come up with a sexy romance?
Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact she's probably the last witch in the world you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa, where she could watch TV, munch junk food, and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch.
After seeing her maybe-mobster boss murder a guy, Delaney James assumes a new identity and pretends to be a mail order bride. She finds her groom-to-be living in a town that celebrates Halloween every day. Weird. But not as weird as what she doesn't know. Her groom-to-be is a 400-year-old vampire.
Twila thinks everything is going to be fun and games even though she has one daughter, two nieces, and one mischievous aunt to contend with. She's focused on cooking and having a good time...until a roving troupe of renaissance performers make camp on the Winchester property and trouble starts brewing. When the head of the group starts making predictions - and, unfortunately, gets left behind - Twila has her hands full.
It drives my dad nuts I'm such a Goody-Two-Shoes, but the fact that I'm a virgin makes smoke pour from his ears. See, I'm determined to save myself for love, but Daddy dear, more commonly known as Lucifer, just wants me to stop being an embarrassment. Would it kill you to sin a little? Maybe he'll get his wish, because I met an intriguing hunk last night in my bar. Could he be the one? He certainly melts my panties like marshmallows over the coals of Hell, but do I dare trust him?

You've Got Tail by USA Today best-selling author Renee George is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery. Kidnapping, murder, and a town full of people hiding the truth will keep Sunny Haddock busy as she tries to unravel the strange happenings in Peculiar, Missouri. Fall in love with a hilarious cast of characters in Book One of Peculiar Mysteries; a paranormal romantic comedy that will not only have you laughing...it will also melt your heart.
Welcome to Peculiar, Missouri!
Sunny Haddock, an animal-loving vegetarian psychic, is stoked to leave California behind to start a new life in the Ozark town of Peculiar with her best friend Chavvah Trimmel. She ups the moving date when Chav goes missing, and Sunny high tails it to the small town. What Sunny doesn't realize is that she's moving into a community of were-shifters, and they don't want a human resident. Especially one dumb enough to arrive a couple of days before the full moon - the only night of the month shifters have to take their pure animal forms.
When the gorgeous Babel Trimmel, Chav's younger brother, (along with the sheriff, the mayor, and some other nice folk) suggests Sunny haul her U-haul and butt back out of town, she's undeterred. Her psychic abilities might be out-of-whack, and blood makes her faint, but she's not a quitter. Besides, she's not about to go anywhere until she finds out what happened to Chavvah.
But Sunny has more to deal with than unfriendly townsfolk...like disturbing killer visions and the dog-like animal no one else sees that seems to be stalking her every move. To make matters worse, she is finding Babel to be more irresistible than crack on a donut.
Sunny needs to get her ability and her hormones under control if she wants to solve the mystery and save her best friend.
Where does You've Got Tail rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Right up at the top for enjoyment.
What did you like best about this story?
All though I am not usually a fan of first person--Hollie Jackson is the perfect Sunny, feisty, snarky, little human in a paranormal town.
Which scene was your favorite?
Too many favorites to choose.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did and since it is 8 hours long--oh well, who needs to sleep.
Any additional comments?
I read this book over a year ago, and this is my book review--if possible the audio was even better.
Original Book review:What great mystery--a fun read with some really serious situations. I am not (usually) a fan of first person narrative. Ms. George has educated me. Now I know I am a fan of witty, funny and sharp first person repartee. Yes, Sunny talks to herself—a lot. And it is often hysterical.
Sunny travels to Patience to find her friend, Chavvah, who has gone missing, just like the older brother she came to town to find. Sunny is also an on again off again psychic. Little does she know what she is about to find. A town of shifters, all kinds, who don't want her to find their secret and want her gone, a sexy little brother to her friend who is anything but little and wants Sunny. No, no—friends brother and much younger man—not good.
But the secrets that plague the town are killing people and the longer she stays, the more people she meets, the more her abilities give clues to the crimes. So much so that Sunny is repeatedly attacked and a ghost of the missing attaches to her—and not in human form.
There is not one dull minute in this read, there are laughs and emotions, characters you love, hate, who repel, and let's not forget a crazy female or two. This is one you should not miss. If you do YOU'LL BE SORRY....

Decently written, good story, great narration! Not a work of literary character development- but it's a stress-relieving, fun story. Well read with characters interesting enough to evoke a decent level of emotional response. The humor was enough to bring forth those out-loud, unexpected laughs and I look forward to another- as long as it's a Hollie Jackson read!

The main character was fun and quirky
Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes it is an easy lesson.

This was a character driven story and the characters sprang to life between the author's words and the talented narrator. You will get sucked into Peculiar quickly and feel like this crazy place is home. If you love a story that springs to life, this one's for you!
I love the twist on the "were" animals. A well narrated story, with just the right amount of spunk. I had the mystery solved before the end, but there were still surprising elements. I would definitely recommend.
snarkfest, mystery, suspense, kidnapping, urban fantasy, contemporary romance, were folk
The publisher's blurb is an extensive recap, so no need to repeat or do spoilers. While there is an underlying thread of sadness and incipient horror, there is so much verbal humor, awful puns, and the dreaded movie quotes that you can't help the laughing and guffawing. There is the expected erotica, but not enough to make me gag (not much of a voyeur). Basically, I loved it,and the suspense kept me reading into the night.
Found this on Book Gorilla and was thrilled to see that it was Whispersync.
Hollie Jackson did a great job!
The narrator was too sweet for the character. She needed to put a little more snark in it. I loved the story, can't wait for the next book.
What would have made You've Got Tail better?
She goes to find her missing friend and spends a huge part lusting after her friends brother. I like a good mystery but I prefer it when they don't spoon feed me the clues to where I know who the killer is 3 chapters in and she figures it out at the very end. Ugh
