In A Flash Audiobook

"In a Flash" is a wonderful story of female empowerment, which is the theme in every book in this series. As I read, I was again inspired to embrace my womanhood, to slow down and enjoy the sweet moments of being a mother, a sister, and a friend. I was reminded to live each day to its fullest. Like Katie, her coven and friends, I have learned the art of aging gracefully and accepting that, like a fine wine, the passage of time only serves to make me better!

Blair Bryan's creative imagination has brought me many moments of enjoyment, laughter, and tears of joy. Reading "In a Flash" as well as the rest of the series has allowed me to take respite from the troubles and sorrows life inevitably brings and lose myself in the alternate reality of Aura Cove! I look forward to the next book in the series.

It seems like it would be hard to top the first four books in the series, but Bryan has managed to do that with this fifth entry. Katie Beaumont, who discovered on her 50th birthday that she came from a line of powerful witches, has stepped up to her newest assignment from Karma, trying to discover -- and punish -- whomever has tarnished the brilliant reputation of a talented and compassionate school principal, who happens to be the sister of Katie's lawyer and friend, Davina. In the meantime, we see relationship growth for Katie's saucy best friend, Frankie, and for Katie's adult children, but that road is never totally smooth. And, of course, if either of Katie's daughters bears a daughter of her own, the reign of Zoya, the complicated matriarch of the family, must come to a close. Has Zoya sufficiently mended her ways to ensure her transition will be a positive one?

Now the hard part is waiting to find out how it all turns out! At least there's time to re-read the series again before then, though.

This had a very difficult theme, but drew much needed attention to the dangers of social media on our young people today. These are things I never had to face as a teenager. Several scenes had me laughing out loud. Frankie and Harry are absolutely joyful as a couple. I can’t wait to learn how Katie and Brody navigate their relationship.
