The Spellman Files

3.5 stars. Hilarious ,not your usual happy-family but somewhat disfunctionally so

Disclosure, I took advantage of amazon/audible “whispersync for voice,” both reading and listening to this book. The narrator was good, the storyline was sufficient, the characters were memorable. Despite the character development, which was wholly sufficient, I wished there had been more plot to enjoy. I can only assume, and hope, the subsequent installments will focus less on background development in order to emphasize plot/storyline. I see a great deal of enjoyment coming in the future if, like Rae, my demands are met.
Also, it is worth noting that you must be able to withstand what came to be the model of a dysfunctional family, a protagonist with questionable scruples, and a cast of background characters lodged firmly in the background.

Throughout the whole book I was so damn frustrated with the characters. Somehow, this did not make me hate the book. Must be magic.
