Magic and Mayhem #1
Switching Hour
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.

“Switching Hour, Magic & Mayhem Book 1” (SHMM) was written by the same author as the very entertaining “Hot Damned” series. Although it was published a year after the four “Hot Damned” books, SWMM sounded like a rough draft of what could have been an entertaining book. Perhaps the author wrote this in high school and published it years later without reviewing or editing it. SHMM is not lesfic, nor does it have the witty dialogue, banter and snarky thoughts of Astrid and her friends. If you’ve read the blurb for SWMM, or seen the book on sale (I did both), you’ll be tempted to try this book. Please: resist temptation.
I don’t want to use the spoilers tag, because I don’t want someone buying this book if my review could have stopped them. So I apologize for being more vague about plot devices that I hated that I’m just not gonna share. But I can share a few things from this book.
First, the MC is annoying. She acknowledges to herself and everyone around her that she’s selfish and materialistic. Yet everyone loves her. WHY?
Second….she spends nine months in prison for killing her cat (a familiar), but is released conditionally…only to have to perform a task. She’s given an envelope with the task (she can’t share it with her cellmate), but spends the rest of the book doing stupid stuff (picnics and sex) while wondering what her task is. Did she never open the flipping envelope???
Third…the cat she killed comes back (nine lives, I guess), but that doesn’t impact her prison sentence or duty to perform the task. The cat spends virtually every scene doing two things: one, speaking with a terrible voice (it’s nearly as bad looking at the Kindle version as it was on the audio), and two, licking his nutsack. She wakes up in bed to the cat every morning with Fabio licking his nutsack right in her face. Now, if you do read this book, and you make it to the end….tell me you don’t shout Ewwwwwww! and spin yourself in circles even if you’re in public!!!
Fourth…this cat always wants Zelda to love him….so he uses stolen credit cards to buy her lots of expensive clothes, and makes her pancakes when she’s hungry. Offhand, I can’t think of the worst lesfic novel I’ve ever read/listened to….but I’m CERTAIN even that book would have had a better working definition of love and how one should behave to inspire it.
Fifth….the book started with witches in power being mean and spiteful, accusing Zelda and her cellmate of not remembering that they were supposed to be “white” witches….doing good. But there was more joyful blasting of the evil Honey Badgers (I’m not making that up….the bad guys are flipping “Honey Badgers”) throughout the book than there was spreading niceness.
Sixth….instalove and instasex and talking publicly about both over and over and over. The book was hetero and I’m not going to think about this or explain further.
I’m Sooooo tempted to return this audiobook (the kindle version was free, on sale), but I’m not going to….I need to remind myself that bad books not only waste my time, but they waste my money.
I’m also tempted to rate this book 2*, because the last 15 minutes were almost cute enough to lift it up from my hating the book….but then I realized I really disliked the narrator too, so 1* it is.

This took me so much longer to read than expected. You go for a quick read and then life gets in the way... Anyway again Robyn Peterman made me laugh, but I'm starting to find some of her jokes repetitive, but that might be because I just read her Hot Damned series recently, and the jokes are still fresh in my mind, but I still enjoyed this. I'm not going to say this is some great read or anything, but it was funny and had me laughing like crazy at times, and it was a good quick read! I do have a feeling that some of the humor in this was immature at times. (example: all the licking balls references) but it had me busting out laughing, so I guess that shows how mature I am. If you just want something fun to enjoy and lift your mood this is a good book to read!

OMG I don't think I've laughed so hard at a book in a long time. The heroine is a total trip with her attitude and the way the says things. The story is something that grabs you and you don't want to leave. This book has witches and shifters and lots of comedy relief. It's a quick read that's makes you want to know more about this kooky witch. I loved it!
October 22, 2015
LOL. What! I can't even..
Too fast. Needed More depth. The heroine was so freakin shallow i wanted to zap her ass into shape! Sheesh.
Everything was so fast paced.. i was jumping all over the place. Not cool.
I may or may not continue the series.. or this author for that matter... We'll see ;-)

This was a romp, and a fun one. It's also way shorter than I expected, not least because excerpts for the next book start at the 66% mark. That is not an estimate. This is kind of an establishment story in that we learn where Zelda comes from (in the sense that she starts out an immature, shallow hedonist with very low self-esteem). And we see her mature and learn to find something worth living for rather than the simple pleasure-seeking she has done until this point.
But that's much more serious than the story really is. Mostly this is Zelda stomping around in her (stylish, no really) combat boots doing what she has to to avoid being punished further. Along the way she snarks and argues and pushes people who need her away. Fortunately, the people she meets are both desperate for help and in a forgiving frame of mind and that gives Zelda time enough to start connecting to them—something that has apparently not happened in her life to this point.
So this is a good example of a fast-paced, humorous tale with just enough seriousness to leaven it somewhat. Some developments were pretty obvious, and I'm seldom a fan of the destiny/mate thing, and Zelda hangs onto her "I'm a shallow person moving on as soon as I can" for way longer than made any real sense. Still, I laughed enough and enjoyed myself enough that I'm looking forward to picking up the next.
A note about Steamy: There's only one explicit sex scene but in a story this short that's enough to push into the medium range of my steam tolerance. It was part of the whole "meant for each other" thing going on with the mate bond so I mostly ignored all the superlatives and was ready to get on with the story. Well, that's not entirely true because Mac and Zelda have excellent chemistry and their snarky banter was entertaining, even as they're busy getting busy.

I suppose this book had a few very sporadic decent moments, but overall it was alarmingly bad. It was just plain dumb.The writing wasn't all terrible... the problem was that the author was trying too hard to be funny and sassy.
Unfortunately, in this case it just came out sounding selfish and immature. Her attitude and the situations she was put in just felt like middle school/high school melodrama from kids just figuring out they've got a taste for it. I originally picked up this book because I liked the Charley Davidson series and thought it might be a witchy version of that same humor and levity. Nope.
The main character was shallow, petty and selfish. Somehow the author thought the proper way to deal with this and make it funny was to have the character herself repeatedly point it out. The story wasn't any better. I honestly just felt stupid reading it. Here's the thing: it's hard not to feel stupid when the main villain that's wreaking havoc on your characters is...wait for it....honey badgers. Fucking honey badgers. (No, they weren't even shifters...not that that would make it much better, really). That was their grand enemy. "I'm not gonna let you fight the honey badgers alone!" the male lead exclaims. Seriously? Seriously? It was the evil honey badgers vs other woodland creatures--who were shifters--in a story that was like Bambi gone wrong. I mean holy hell. She was just there to heal them when injured in a seemingly epic battle for territory (read: the forest in the immediate vicinity of her house).
Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. It was only 178 pages, which meant it was all done and finished quickly. Thank God. That's the only reason I finished it. I won't be reading book two.

Irreverent, often crass, but always humorous in a slightly skewed way, Zelda is like no other witch you have ever met! Just released from the magic world’s prison for killing her familiar, (hey, it was an accident), Zelda must complete a secret mission in order to regain all of her witchy powers. Is she ready for her cat to be resurrected, to inherit a house in the middle of freaking nowhere and to have all of the forest creatures at her doorstep? What about that hot than Hades wolf that is knocking at her door?
SWITCHING HOUR by Robyn Peterman is a laugh out loud read full of magic, mayhem and well, more mayhem! If you are sensitive to creative swearing, naked shifters or every single random thought that goes through a witch’s head, back away, back slowly away, or be hooked on a fun read with sass, sex and shifters as Zelda does he time, pays for the crime and may have finally found her place in life!
Talk about ending the year on a good note! Robyn Peterman has a wicked sense of humor and a wild imagination as she brings her tale to life in all of its off-color glory!

There is something to be said for a sense of humor and Robyn Peterman got all the extra's out there. Like all of her other books, this one is so funny I chocked on my coffee. My advise is to make sure you are not drinking anything while reading any of her books, chances are you will spit coffee out you nose from the hilarity of it all. Between Yoga Baba and the Council Witches, to Smelly, ball licking Cat/Naked Dude/Dad you will be laughing so hard you pee your pants. Between trying to figure out what her "Mission" is and fighting a sure Mating to the Hotty Mac, this witch is confused, ornery, funny and a total mischief maker. I love ya PookieMomma, please never stop Writing!!!!!

This book is amazeballs. I loved all the fun quirky shifters and the sassy witch Zelda! The story will keep you laughing and entertained for hours and leave you wanting more! Twists and turns and surprises will keep you guessing as things get hairy lol no pun intended as Zelda finds her place in Asshacket, West Virginia. Must read if you love PNR or comedy!

I've said it before (and I truly mean it), Robyn Peterman is seriously warped! Again she has created another messed up cast of characters that you'll fall in love with. Zelda has absolutely no filter, so everything out of her mouth will make you laugh! And Mac...not messed up, but seriously sexy. Lots of fun that leaves you wanting more, and more, and more.....
October 7, 2015
I love Robyn's books so much. She is one of the only authors that I pre-order from.
Switching Hour did not let me down when it comes to hilarity, I even learned a few new insults from it. I can't wait for the next one!

Short review:
I think this is going to next best read - or more like the next favourite series. None too serious, talking cat, self-absorbed witch, werewolf lover, talking animals - shifters all right up to my ally.

Yes
Aftermath: (possible spoilers)
While you can read it as standalone and there are no cliff hangers, not all issues are resolved as well. I'm guessing this is going to be one of those series where after #1, others cannot be read as standalone.
I have never read this author before but I am hopeful for other series by the same author.

Welcome to Robyn's newest paranormal phenom. Zelda a self absorbed witch, who is getting sprung from magical jail. She has to complete a mission before Halloween or the poor girl will be turned into a mortal . Which is a fate worse then death, in he opinion. So off she heads in a kia and her not so dead cat. Oh did I mention she ran over her cat. Yeah squished him good . So off to West Virginia she goes with no idea of what she is suppose to do. To beat it all she ends up being the mate of a hotter then hot werewolf and the saviour to the shifter world . What is a poor witch to do but hope for the best and hope they are so wrong .
Oh my god I absolutely love the characters in this book. Zelda is so self absorbed , its so cool to read . She is trying to be good after being let out of jail but you can see her struggling at trying to be good. She finds herself and finds out she is a great healer to the shifters . She is zany in all ways , she is off balance and zany. She speaks her mind and is wisecracking. The best character in the book in my opinion is Fabio , the poor cat that is more then he seems . The poor cat has been run over and buried , then resurrected. He has a tendency to lick his balls in the most inopportune times and loves to steal fashion for Zelda. The cast of shifters are so funny and sweet all at the same time . They all come to care and love Zelda. Then there is Mac the hotter then hot wolf. Oh he is pantie dropping hot and wants Zelda so badly. He is the alpha of the shifter colony in Ass crack West Virginia . He is your typical alpha male . Good looks , hot body and attitude that goes with all good alpha males . Throw them all together you have the makings for a zany cast of characters that will make you happy .
This is a book that you want to read to put you in a great mood . They zany cast of characters will keep you reading. You will giggle and laugh out loud as you watch Zelda and the gang. I love Robyn's books , I love the way she can make you smile as you read them . She comes up with some great one liners and some great words . That I seem to use in my daily life more often then not . Her characters are quirky , off balance and sometimes just down right rude but you will fall in love with them all . So if you like quirky stories with a paranormal twist , this is the book for you . Check out all of Robyn's books , you will laugh and laugh . I promise

Leave it to Robyn Peterman. She is again bringing us another outlandish, hilarious, entertaining paranormal series, Magic and Mayhem. The first book in the series, SWITCHING HOUR, sets the stage with two witches serving punishment for some perceived criminal activity (that itself is a hoot). This story is about witch Zelda who is a straightforward, self-doubting, a little nutty, but beautiful person. She has a familiar (cat) named Fabio. In lieu of continuing to serve jail time, she is tasked with finding out what happened to her Aunt Hildy who has disappeared. As usual when I have read previous works of Robyn’s, I laughed continuously throughout the story. If you want some quirky, good laughs; you should try any book by Robyn Peterman.

THE REVIEW
Why this book?
I loved Robyn Petermans Hot Damned series so I wanted to check out what else she wrote
What I thought
This book is just awesome! With a hilarious heroine and crazy Shapeshifters. This book is highly entertaining the hours just passed by without me even knowing it.There was a bunch of moments I laughed out loud.There's even a sexy werewolf which always gains a star from me. With that said this book will keep you guessing and keep you wanting more. Overall a fun read that I recommend.

OMG...what fun! As always Robyn Peterman comes up with an off the wall funny and sexy read. Zelda finally gets out of witch jail only to have a task put to her. She must complete this task or become mortal. She is slightly crazy, some what dangerous but dressed to the nines...LOL.. All the characters in this book make me smile and have me wanting more!

I can't continue with this book anymore. I'm not a fan of supernatural plot lines, and this one was so far out of my league...
Talking animals, animal-people, insta-love, weird relationships, swearing every second line...it's not for me. And I don't recommend it to anyone (even though it is free).

Sweet baby jesus this book was beyond awesome!!! Robyn hit it out of the park once again with this book. Just when i think her books cannot get any better, she proves me wrong. If you have not had the pleasure of reading any of her books you are missing out!!!

As always Robyn Peterson never fails to entertain me!! It is the funniest witch stork ever!! I can not wait to the next one!! Need to see what happens to Zelda, Mac, Fabio and all the rest of the witches and shifters!

This is the new Shifter Whisperer? 5 SPARKLY STARS
These Shifters were nuts. HOLY ! What a insanely hilarious & touching book!! Who knew that you could find everything you didn't even know you wanted, let alone needed, in A$$jacket, West Virginia!! (Personally, I have been checking into the travel costs in hope that I may be moving there myself! :-) ) So very many great parts that I would love to share, but there is no way I would spoil this story for you! This is one SHIFTASTIC story that truly needs no introduction, nor do you need to know anything beyond how PAWSITIVELY SHIFTTACULAR & MAGICALLY DELICIOUS it is! Of course there is that trademark humor of Robyn’s, but there is also a truly marvelous storyline to not only catch your attention, but keep it! I mean, come on! It is a Robyn Peterman book for Baba Yaga's sake! Nuff said! Beyond all of the quirkiness there is a PAWMAZING storyline that is further enriched by the Furry Tail like atmosphere. “So I hear you're the king. You wanna be my queen?” Don't get me wrong! I LOVE the humor and that aforementioned quirkiness! After all that is why I love these books of Robyn's! But WOW! I was blown-away by the FURRIFIC story too! Hotness, friendship, shockers at every turn – only one of witch, I mean which, I was able to figure out ahead of time! – and oh so BEARY much more!!!! Soooooo PAWESOME! No matter how many books of Robyn's that I have read, I have loved every. single. one. and this one is no different! She ALWAYS captivates & amazes me, while at the same time making me drool & pant over those FANGTASTIC men that star in her books! In fact, all of her characters are all so well-developed (Wow! You can take that so many ways! naughty wink) that I hope that each character gets their own story. Partly so that I have more to read :) but mostly because I become so attached to them all! They all have these great personalities that bring more depth & enrichment to the storyline, as well as having their own history, or a story that is just begging to be told – from the skunk to the deer, the bear to the ….well you get the idea! I love the range of emotions I went through on this journey – from laughing until I peed my pants, crying until my eyes were swollen, going mushy at the sweet & tender moments, getting hot & bothered from the…sorry! Gotta leave something for your to discover on your own Switching Hour journey. Okay, I will admit to bawling near the ending, but they were mostly happy sobs! All of this – and more - should go a long way in proving just how fantabulously talented Robyn is and why YOU NEED TO READ HER BOOKS! There is NO WAY you could not love them!! Now you can see why I have dubbed her the Queen of Uproariously Extraordinarily Entertaining Novels (QUEEN)! I heart Robyn!

Beyond all of the quirkiness there is a PAWMAZING storyline that is further enriched by the Furry Tail like atmosphere. “So I hear you're the king. You wanna be my queen?” Don't get me wrong! I LOVE the humor and that aforementioned quirkiness! After all that is why I love these books of Robyn's! But WOW! I was blown-away by the FURRIFIC story too! Hotness, friendship, shockers at every turn – only one of witch, I mean which, I was able to figure out ahead of time! – and oh so BEARY much more!!!! Soooooo PAWESOME! No matter how many books of Robyn's that I have read, I have loved every. single. one. and this one is no different! She ALWAYS captivates & amazes me, while at the same time making me drool & pant over those FANGTASTIC men that star in her books! In fact, all of her characters are all so well-developed (Wow! You can take that so many ways! naughty wink) that I hope that each character gets their own story. Partly so that I have more to read :) but mostly because I become so attached to them all! They all have these great personalities that bring more depth & enrichment to the storyline, as well as having their own history, or a story that is just begging to be told – from the skunk to the deer, the bear to the ….well you get the idea! I love the range of emotions I went through on this journey – from laughing until I peed my pants, crying until my eyes were swollen, going mushy at the sweet & tender moments, getting hot & bothered from the…sorry! Gotta leave something for your to discover on your own Switching Hour journey. Okay, I will admit to bawling near the ending, but they were mostly happy sobs! All of this – and more - should go a long way in proving just how fantabulously talented Robyn is and why YOU NEED TO READ HER BOOKS! There is NO WAY you could not love them!! Now you can see why I have dubbed her the Queen of Uproariously Extraordinarily Entertaining Novels (QUEEN)! I heart Robyn!

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??)

Outrageously fun and super funny with characters that will make you wish they were real! I LURVE Robyn Peterman and her style of writing. She writes some seriously good books with lots of hilarious moments and sexy ones too. Switching Hour is another one of those books you won't be able to put down and will want to read again and again just so you can giggle, smile, and have the time of your life over and over again. I can't wait for book two of this Magic and Mayhem series! Switching Hour is wonderfully written and will make you laugh throughout the whole book...and possibly make you need some cold showers as well. Come see why Miss Peterman is the go to gal for fun and sexy reads!

Ugh, what an annoyingly shallow heroine... and that clingy, ball licking cat familiar! Okay, so there was a reason for his adoring ways, but still...
While I think its great that Robyn Peterman has got a large following & I'm always grateful for a freebie, I'm happy this story works as a standalone because I will not be continuing this series.

"Switching Hour" a "Magic and Mayhem Book 1" is another fantastic addition to the collection of paranormal romance novels by Robyn Peterman. Zelda starts out materialistic and self absorbed. She just finished spending nine months in a prison for witches due to her obsession with high end fashion and running over her familiar. Now on probation, she has a month to complete a task or face being turned into a mortal. Can Zelda find her place in the world, or will she return to her nomadic ways? Overall, this is another fun novel featuring a slightly unbalanced but loveable female protagonist. The secondary characters are wacky as well, but in a good way. If you like Robyn Peterman's other novels, you'll enjoy this one as well.

Laughs and love by Robyn Peterman.
Zelda is a witch who has been in jail for irresponsible use of her magic killing her familiar by running over him with her car. When she is released from the pokey she is sent to West Virginia to take over the role of Shifter Whisperer, and she is unhappy about it.
The dialogue is witty and laugh out loud funny. As Zelda gets to know all of the amazing characters in town they all start to grow on her, and she starts to learn what it means to use her magic for the good of others.
I look forward to the next installment to see what crazy ride Zelda embarks on next.
