Free As A Bird by Hailey Edwards is the third audiobook in The Yard Birds series, a hilarious urban fantasy with witches, supernatural creatures, magic and mystery. Narrated by Stephanie Richardson, I gobbled this up in one sitting.

When an old friend reaches out to Ellie, asking for help locating her missing coven members, she’s ready for her big comeback. Witchlight is financing the op, and it feels damn good to be official again.
But when her friend’s lies begin to unravel, Ellie realizes she’s let her ego lead her into a trap. And she’s brought her coven down with her. With the girls’ lives on the line, Ellie has to decide what’s more important—reliving her glory days or saving her best friends from a permanent retirement.
I think this is the last book in the Yard Bird series, but I do hope we get more adventures with Elle and her coven. As with most urban fantasy, I recommend listening in the order of their release.
An old friend of Elle’s reaches out concerned about a missing coven member, and Elle and her coven answer the call. All is not as it seems and the more they investigate, the greater the danger becomes. Elle realizes her coven and nephews are in great danger.
This delivered an intriguing mystery, and Elle finds herself at a crossroads. The story held me captive, made me laugh aloud and smile. If this was the end, it was a good one. Edwards has created memorable characters with Elle, her husband, the coven and her mischievous nephews, the townsfolk and extended family. Elle is a hoot, and I loved spending time with them all.
Stephanie Richardson narrates the series and brought Elle and the other characters to life. I highly recommend listening. Each book is under four hours and is perfect for a trip, or rainy afternoon.

About Hailey Edwards
Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy. She lives in Alabama with her husband, their daughter, and a herd of dachshunds.
