Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble: A Paranormal Mystery Romance
by H.P. Mallory
First in the New York Times bestselling Underworld Series! If you like your books steamy and you appreciate a good witch, warlock, and vampire romance triangle, then read on!
Life isn’t bad for psychic Jolie Wilkins. True, she doesn’t have a love life to speak of, but she has a cute house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a cat, and a quirky best friend.
Enter Rand Balfour, a sinfully attractive warlock who insists she’s a witch and who just might turn her life upside down. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost. Jolie not only uncovers the cause of the ghost’s demise but, in the process, she brings him back to life...
Word of Jolie’s incredible ability to bring back the dead spreads like wildfire, putting her at the top of the Underworld’s most wanted list. Consequently, she finds herself at the center of a custody battle between a villainous witch, a dangerous but oh-so-sexy vampire, and her warlock boss, Rand.

well written
Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
Not a favorite. Will not continue this series. Surprised that it wasn't up to the standards of H. P. Mallory other books I have read.
fun take on magic
I really enjoyed this book and the fun take on paranormal fun and magical characters. Can't wait to see what happens next. Highly recommended.
Enjoyable but
I did enjoy but very disappointed series does not continue with audio so I will not continue with this series. The author sucks you in by having first book and audio free but then does not continue with the audio . I feel this is a cheap and unethical maneuver to suck readers in. Too bad I would have continued with the series if it offered audio. Thank goodness there is a lot of other authors that offer the audio to the end of the series. I will be enjoying them
Super Slow Burn
Jolie goes through the many stages of finding out she's "witch," learning her powers, and lusting over almost every Warlock, Vampire, Fae King & Werewolf she runs into. She does this with inane and repeating internal dialog that's redundant and redundant. IF this (Audible version) book was 8 hours instead of 13, it would be vastly improved. But hey, if you have the patience for it, there are some fun, funny moments, and several very slow-burn romances.
Honest review
So much build up and story, but seems to not move on enough. Need to read next in the series to go from here.
Enjoyed
This was the first book of yours that I have read but it was not something that I would usually read.
Book
Perfect gift
