Shifted

A funny, sexy and wildly entertaining story full of a bit of magic, suspense and of course romance. I enjoyed reading about these new characters as well as seeing more of our awesome friends from the afterlife!

Louis and Maggie are out to help again , they are use to the unusual that goes on in the after life but when they are hauling a 500lb gator to Assjacket West Virginia . They are in for more then they bargained for when they meet up with a mute witch and a vulgar cat who is interested in his own pleasure then helping people . Will they be able to help and will the family in Assjacket accept what is coming .

Louis and Maggie are back and as much fun to read as the first time you read them . We also get to meet the Zelda and the gang . Garrett and Layla are our star crossed mates in this story . Garrett well the poor guy has been cursed and now he is an alligator stuck in alligator form . He is strong and but he has such a sad past , Layla has just about as sad past , she is sweet and wants to help but she doesn't really know who she is and her magic is all wonky because of it. When they get together they really get each other and know that they belong together . They are such a cute couple when they are together .

This is such a fun read , I was so excited to see this as part of the magic and mayhem universe. I will say the author did a great job incorporating her characters with the characters of the universe . They are well written and so enjoyable to read . The author takes us on a fun filled ride that will have you laughing and sighing all the way through the book . This is a stand alone book and it will be a great read for this summer at the beach or by the pool . So check it out

The Bayou!

Wow, loved this story! It has it all...shifters, witches, and even a couple of ghost. Garret and Layla both broken both needing some magical help. And when they meet they realize that they were meant for each other. I think FB the cat is my favorite character. Will definitely read more about them!

Intervention specialists Maggie and Louis' newest "assignment" thrusts us into a unique world of alligator and beaver shifters, mute witches and familiars. An entertaining, rocking tale! If you love magical stories I highly recommend this series.

Great story

Love any story with Daddy and Zelda. Love this story with the ghosts and how they help others. The romance building between them is great.

Super fun romp!
Reads almost like a parody of shifter and witch PNRs but in the best way possible! It was fun, sweet, and just a bit naughty with a unique cast of characters including my first affair with alligator shifters.
The only negatives were a moment of confusion when Garrett was referred to as "Garth" in his own narrative's POV, and a personal pet peeve of mine, referring to witches of the male persuasion as "warlocks".

I've loved Maggie and Louis for a while now, so this was one I really wanted to read. Only problem was I knew if I did, it would be waiting time again, lol. So I put it off and now I'm kicking myself! It was so good, perfect fit to this world but still had the Maggie and Louis chemistry I love. Also got to meet some amazing new characters.....Garrett and Layla are ones I'll be happy to read more about also. Where else you gonna get a mute witch and a Gator shifter? Was excellent.
So great seeing how Louis is slowly learning to care for and trust Maggie. I'm so excited to see what comes next, she's really gotten this Afterlife Specialist thing down......I know i'll be blown away. But now it's back to waiting, sigh.

Excellent!

I loved this well written story! I purchased this book because of it being a part of this universe I love. I had not read anything by this author before. After the first chapter I stopped when I realized that I really enjoyed this authors story telling, but I wanted more of her characters. I quickly one clicked all of the other Minded books and read them first. While it certainly was not needed to enjoy this story on its own, it enhanced the enjoyment of this book. I truly can't wait for more of these characters!

I had a whole review ready to go but for some reason it vanished on me. Summery is Louis and Maggie are back to help two unusual characters, and it's a little more then unusual they usual. RL Merrill brings us a wonderful story with Louis pulls his stick out of his bum and chills, This series is never boring, with emotions a plenty for everyone. This has been a wonderful serious and hope that there are more to follow

This is part of the Magic & Mayhem Universe. Add that to the kick butt authors writing and you got a perfect combo! We welcome back with open arms Louis and Maggie! Yay! Add to the mix a little witchy poo who cant quite get a handle on her magic and a crocodilly who can't shift back to human. You have one hell of a story and there's not a dull moment! I had a blast reading it!

A mute witch just coming into her power must help a crocodile shifter on the run who can't shift back in a town called Assjacket. The Magic & Mayhem universe is hilarious. A foul-mouthed cat, a fashion challenged head witch among others mesh well with Maggie and Louis from the Minded world. Definitely worth the read.

Let's start off with I love Maggie and Louis and this adventure of theirs was so much fun! With witches, familiars and shifters of all kinds with different names you have a story that's very interesting. Include some almost kisses and weather changes and it's a story that'll have you wanting more. Can't wait for more Minded stories!
