‘Tis the season for great folly…walawalawalawalala…ribbit. It’s Christmas time at Croakies. The tree is up. The stockings are hung. And Christmas tunes are turning the atmosphere jolly. After a tumultuous Samhain, I’ve found my chi again and I’m starting to enjoy the season of love and giving.Yeah. You probably know how this is going to end.When Sebille suggests I open the bookstore up to a small … Sebille suggests I open the bookstore up to a small holiday party, I foolishly agree. How was I supposed to know that the hobgoblin would decide it would be fun to hide everybody’s stuff? Or that we’d be hit with a freak winter storm that confined everybody inside for the duration. Or that a “You’re me but who am I?” spell would be released inside the shop, switching everybody’s identities and creating general chaos and hysteria?
I could probably deal with all that if it weren’t for the fact that my friend, Lea…the one person who could possibly reverse the spell…was ensconced in SB the parrot, with no opposable thumbs for spelling.
And me? Of course, I’m sitting fat and squishy inside Mr. Slimy. Thank goodness Rustin isn’t currently in residence, or it would be really crowded in here.
Who spelled my party? What do a pair of Santa’s elves have to do with it? And why have old enemies suddenly become new friends? I apparently have a little holiday mystery to solve inside Croakies, and I have no idea how I’m going to solve it with everybody mixed up and some of us human.
Have I told you I hate this season?
Ribbit!

This was a heart warming paranormal cozy. Great idea for Christmas combining both normal and not normal characters. As usual a lot of magical chaos but showed how friendship counts
A wild ride during a snow storm! You really gotta watch out for those wacky cookies when you’re at parties…lol. This was a truly funny story. Well written and things were so well described that I could envision it all with ease. Several times I found myself laughing out loud and had to stifle myself b/c everyone in the house was asleep. I just found another favourite author!
Who’s who for Christmas? Keep your pen and paper handy so you can keep track of who’s who for this Christmas Eve at Croakies! What a FUN series…
It’s Christmas at Croakies and there’s a party going on as Sebille has talked Naida into hosting one. However, things go seriously wrong when everyone is hit with a “You’re me but who am I” spell causing everyone to go into someone else’s body. To top things off, there’s a freak winter storm keeping everyone inside, even the nonmagic beings so they’re included in the spell. Can Naida and her friends reverse the spell and find out exactly what’s going on?
I have really enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. It’s a fun read but there were a few errors that detracted from the storyline for me. The biggest issue was having Lea in SB’s body most of the time then she’d be a frog at others. Otherwise, the mystery was good and kept me guessing. I do recommend both book and series which I suggest you read in order.
Holiday Special

it is Christmas, you want to have Christmas party and celebrate with some of your favorite people, lots of goodies to eat, and drinks to drink, mortal and magical creatures both in attendance, what could go wrong? Too many cookies and we have people switching bodies and need to call reinforcements to get it all straightened out. A hilarious read. I highly recommend reading all in this series.

Teeny, Tiny Amphibian Diapers
The best chapter title, ever! This episode of the Enchanting Inquiries series is just what you’d expect in an irreverent, paranormal, cozy by Sam Cheever. It is funny throughout and full of bizarre paranormal creatures you may never have heard of. That may be because they only exist in the interesting mind of Sam Cheever. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
This book is beyond hilarious!! To be caught in someone else’s body!! LOL So much chaos yet what fun! Loved the book and you will too!!!

Cute twists in this one.
What’s better than a good mystery at Christmas time? Why a mystery by Sam Cheever with a cat on the cover! With trouble from hobgoblins, a freaky storm, and a release of a spell that causes all sorts of problems you have the making of a brilliant piece. I love Nadia she is great character and the mystery she has to solve well it was pretty hard when you are a frog. Cute twists in this one. I highly recommend this cutie. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

FROSTED CROAKIES is another action packed magical mystery, this time featuring a Christmas party at Croakies. The Author, Sam Cheever, has a way with creating storylines that are similar and at the same time, totally different and engaging. Her vivid descriptions of people, places and the unexplainable will have you feeling like you are right in the middle of the action.
Sebille has talked Nadia into hosting a Christmas party at Croakies for all their favorite customers and friends. Against her better judgement Naida agrees, but she can’t help but think back to the Halloween disaster.
Snow is falling and Christmas music is playing as their friends arrive bearing gifts and food, the party is on and everyone is having fun. Even a nice elderly couple having car problems has joined them.
Everyone is having fun and enjoying all the company and food, especially those scrumptious cookies. Then, everyone starts feeling a little drunk, suddenly it’s like someone hit the pause button, the lights go out, the floor drops away, the next thing Naida knows is she’s in Mr. Slimy’s body, oohh yuck!. Slowly she recognizes Lea in SBs body, but where is her body? Where is Sebille? Oh, crapola! Who’s Who?
As Nadia tries to figure out what happened and get everyone back in their proper bodies, you need to grab some goood cookies and get ready for some laugh out loud fun.
Merry Christmas to all and a big thank you to Sam Cheever.

Naida and Sebille are giving a small Christmas party and as usual things go not as planned inside Croakies. Someone has bespelled everyone at the party and suddenly bodies were swapped. Lea, the stronget witch, ends in the parrot, Naida in Mr. Slimey…
As usual for the stories of Naida and Croakies – a mystery with crazy actions and lots of fun. Really enjoyable and a few unexpected things happening.
Highly entertaining.

Naida is having a Christmas party at Croakies, she is not really feeling like having. Sebille is all for the party and says it is a great way to thank people for shopping there. It is snowing a lot out side, so she is not sure who will brave the storm to come.
One person Naida doesn’t want to see there is Grym. She still hasn’t forgiven him for what she as a betrayal. Grym says that he just wanted to drop of his gift and he will will. As he goes to leave, more come in to shop and stop him from leaving.
Naida see and smells cookies, she sees everyone is eating them. She doesn’t know who left them, but they do smell good. Sebille even invites Devard, the owner of the vape shop.
Her regular customers and her close friends are enjoying themselves. But then two unexpected arrivals come in, saying they broke down.
Things start to get really weird in the shop. Naida doesn’t know what to do about it. It will take Naida and others to work together to fix what is going on.
This was a nice quick read for the series. I am looking forward to the next one, will Naida finally forgive Grym, will there be a relationship between them, what the other characters are up to as well
