Switching Hour: Magic and Mayhem Book One Kindle Edition

Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it's enough to make a gal fly off the edge.

Not to mention a mission...with no freaking directions.

So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I’ll get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I'm the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-than- asphalt-in-August werewolf thinks I'm his mate. Now apparently I'm slated to save a bunch of hairy freaks of nature?

If they think I'm the right witch for the job, they've swallowed some bad brew.

From the Author

Author's Note About Previous Version This following is a note about story changes and updates for those readers who read the original version of this story in the 12 Shades of Midnight anthology.Switching Hour was originally part of the 12 Shades of Midnight anthology which was available for a limited time in 2015. The original story I wrote has since been adapted as necessary for inclusion in the Magic and Mahem series. This copy--the one containing this note--is a highly revised and extended version. You as a reader will notice many changes from the original, which was intentionally crafted to fit anthology guidelines.The most noticeable of changes is in characters. In the anthology version, Chapter 1 was originally co-written with my good buddy, Dakota Cassidy, as part of a fun and fabu experiment. In the anthology, Switching Hour (by me) and Witched at Birth (by Dakota) include the same, or nearly the same, beginning. At the end of that original Chapter One our characters went separate ways--an intentional creative decision we made together--and our stories went their separate ways too. After the anthology was removed from publication, Dakota and I both released our stories on their own. We each made as many changes as we felt necessary to make them work in their new individual series. The biggest change I made was in creating a brand new best friend character for my heroine, Zelda. The new character has a different name (Sassy), a different storyline, and will return in later series books because that is what best friends do. If you are a Dakota fan, as well as one of mine, you may notice our Chapter One remains similar even in our newly released versions. Now you know why, Pookies. Enjoy!~ Robyn

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

NYT and USA Today best selling author, Robyn Peterman writes because the people inside her head won’t leave her alone until she gives them life on paper. She writes snarky, sexy, funny paranormal and snarky, sexy, funny contemporaries.

Her addictions include laughing really hard with friends, shoes (the expensive kind), Target, Coke with extra ice in a Yeti cup, bejeweled reading glasses, her kids, her super-hot hubby and collecting stray animals.

A former professional actress, with Broadway, film and T.V. credits, she now lives in the south with her family and too many animals to count. Writing gives her peace and makes her whole, plus having a job where she can work in her sweatpants works really well for her.

Robyn Peterman is a phenomenal paranormal writer. I have enjoyed everything she has written and I am always waiting impatiently for more. She creates great characters and the story line she creates has me cracking up, crying, fighting along with the heroes and heroines and wanting to stomp the bad guys!There are times I find myself repeating some of her funny lines and quotes from her books - friends laugh and ask where I get my material and that's when I have to tell them all about my favorite author and her shenanigans. LOL.

Title: Switching Hour
Series: Magic and Mayhem
Designation: Book One, Standalone Novella, NO Cliffhanger
Author: Robyn Peterman
My Rating: FIVE OUTRAGEOUSLY FUNNY STARS*****
OMG! This book should come with a disclaimer and warning label that says, "Please be advised, this story may cause outbursts of uncontrollable laughter as well as fits of ugly wheezing that will frighten your dog. It may also prove to be hazardous to your bad mood causing you to spontaneously giggle and cause the people nearby to look at you strangely and shake their heads. Please read at your own risk or at least sparingly and only while you're alone. The author may not be held liable for any headaches, tears of joy or soreness suffered as a result of continuous laughter caused by the outrageous behavior of the characters included in this story. Never say you were not warned!"

This is hands down, one of the cutest, funniest, sexiest and most entertaining stories I've ever read. The book is imaginative, captivating, exciting, humorous, well crafted and exceptionally well written. The dialogue is smart, sassy, hilarious, well executed and flowed beautifully. And the characters are simply amazeballs! They will make you giggle and steal your heart! Peterman is obviously a very gifted storyteller and her amazing imagination and incredible talent shine brightly in Switching Hour. No spoilers from me but I will say this...... One very beautiful, very fashionable and very saucy witch named Zelda who, as it turns out, is a very talented shifter wanker...uh...whisperer-check! One hilarious cat familiar named Fabio who may or may not be something other than just a simple cat-check! A handsome, hunky, brave alpha wolf shifter who is determined to make Zelda his mate-check! A nightmarish, poorly dressed head-witch who just may not be so bad after all-check! A group of uproariously funny, loyal, loving shifters-check! Some really very evil and very yukkie villains-check! A lot of humor, a little angst and a large helping of sweet, sassy romance-check! That and a whole lot more! What didn't I like about this book? Not a darn thing! What did I love about this book? Everything! Would I recommend this book? You betcha and I am! So buckle up, my lovelies and get ready for a wild, fun time! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

This is a quick read that has plenty of adventure, a charismatic cat with big balls and the sexiest wolf on a motorcycle. Witches, shifters, good deeds and a sprinkle of evil to keep you reading. Excellent, I would recommend this to anyone needing some laughs and a good read.

This book was a very quick, light-hearted read that was somewhat entertaining, but just never was funny enough to make me laugh out loud. I think I even only cracked a slight grin just a couple of times while reading it. Fabio, the cat, is really annoying because he draws out every other word (and the reason why he did this was never explained in the book later on when his speaking style completely changes to normal)...I almost think the author drew out his words in order to make the book seem a few pages longer. Fabio's constant licking of his privates was kind of funny at first, but then it just got old and overdone, much like SO MANY other details throughout the book. Generally, I enjoyed the crass nature of the main character, but her CONSTANT mangling of other characters' names and titles just stopped being funny very early on, though it continued throughout. It felt like the author had a huge list of alternate pejorative nicknames for everyone that she tried to squeeze into the story. It would have been funnier if it was only occasional, but it was just overdone and inserted into nearly every sentence. The main character's thought process just becomes tiresome to read because of this and the constant cussing. Less is more and a little goes a long way. The author would do well to remember that and to learn how to use phrases MEANINGFULLY. The story and interplay of magic was fun and unique and I enjoyed some of the descriptions of such, but the author left so much to be desired in such a short time. The main character was out cold for a few weeks and then BAM, it's already Halloween and she has to accomplish her task in just a few hours. Huh? And the author hinted at what it was SO strongly, that any suspense there might have been just wasn't there. You can see things coming from a mile away and it's over before you know it. I've never seen a book end so quickly and without much buildup to the climax of the story. While the entire book was somewhat entertaining, I just wasn't ever hooked in deep enough to even be curious about the next book in the series, which is pretty unfortunate. If the writing had been better, the story more developed, and the humor more strategic, I would have been sold on the series, but I won't be buying the next book.

I can be pretty hard on authors to be honest. This book was brilliant and I mean laugh out loud in public funny. I was standing waiting for my bus and just burst out laughing at one point. I couldn't stop myself it blindsided me!

I've read one other series that was able to do this to me by Mary Janice Davidson. So, to me this book is 5 star worthy. Especially when it wasn't just one laugh out loud moment but many!

Thank you Robyn!!

You could call the FMC vapid only as a character she really grows by the end of the book. I felt she sort of self explains why she feels the way she does. And hell if we all had magic we could use to get some free swag of the 4 figure variety we would! I would have much more than 80 pairs! Unless it was 80 pairs of just Jimmy Choo's

This was such a fun read. I loved it more than I thought I would.

At first it was a little bit weird but then it got better and the character of Zelda is pretty fun. I loved her with and banter and Fabio was excellent. I could have called the little reveal but I was pleasantly surprised anyway.

It's been a while since I laughed while reading a book and this one provided a lot of that.

This is the first book in a series of 7 and the end of this book provides an excerpt of book 2, Witch Glitch. I started reading it but given the fact I won't be getting my hands on that book in the coming days (not that I won't ever, right now I can't!), I feel there's no use in me reading further than chapter 1 of that one... I really want to though.

I definitely recomment this one for those who want a laugh and fast read.

Warning: there is a sex scene so be prepared *winks*

Switching Hour war eine überraschend kurzweilige und lustige Lektüre im Stile von Mary Janice Davidson (Betsy-Taylor-Romane) und Co, mit sehr vielen Krafausdrücken, witzigen (und erotischen) Stellen, die gute Unterhaltung auf jeden Fall garantieren. Werde auf jeden Fall den zweiten Teil lesen!

This is a 4.5 star pack a spare pair of knickers read!😂

I seriously churn through Robyn Peterman's books - they are that entertaining! Another new series of the author's now crossed off my list, this one is pure bawdiness at it's best, packed with some of the best giggles I've had for a while. I'm wondering whether the author's books can be given the Bipolar and MDD tick of approval because no matter how bad I feel or how bad my concentration is lacking her books ALWAYS make me laugh and focus on her hilarious characters and their antics.

The story in this series concerns Zelda, a self-centered, self obsessed witch with a serious taste for designer duds and all the good things in life. She is sent packing to find her calling in life, after her release from witchy prison for abusing her powers. She ends up in Asscrack, West Virginia and finds not only has she inherited her Aunt Hildy's house, but her business as well.
Following along on her journey is her familiar Fabio, a cat with a serious ball-licking fetish (his balls, no one else's). Yes, the cat she ran over - repeatedly - and killed, and for which she was imprisoned.
The novel is filled with Zelda and her cat's smartarse asides, a host of furry shifter beasties and one seriously horny werewolf who thinks she's his "mate".
A mystery in which Zelda tries to find out who killed her Aunt Hildy, this is not a serious book, just pure reading entertainment with guffaws galore.

As a warning, for those that prefer "clean" novels, there is one erotic sex scene between Zeldy and Mac the Werewolf, her possible mate. (What is it with werewolves being complete hornbags??)
