Pumpkintown Perils Volume 1 by Aubrey LawMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Murder, Magic, Mystery, & Myth. Welcome to Pumpkintown.
"Very entertaining and unique stories." - Grady Harp, Amazon Vine Voice & Hall of Fame reviewer
Living near a village of gnomes in the enchanted forest called Jagged Wood, Wanda Tempest owns a magic supply shop, practices witchcraft, drinks hard liquor, and does her best to keep peace with the local two-thousand pound Wood Trolls. She also happens to be a promising, if only part-time, Private Investigator. She’s talented, attractive, and has earned the respect and admiration of the equally talented, though far less striking, Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock, a tobacco-tainted, lascivious, and loud-mouthed leprechaun. Sam's crazy about Wanda… she’s crazy about her cat-food-hating whiskered companion, Jinxy.
Join this formidable, if mismatched, crime-solving duo, as they tackle mysteries ranging from the suspiciously scandalous to the supernaturally strange. Tormented talking trees, naughty gnomes, terrible trolls, and homicidal humans will keep Wanda and Sam fighting for justice, and their very lives.

My Thoughts:
When reading the synopsis for this book, I expected a fun read with all kinds of magical creatures. Too bad it live up to it. I had a really hard time getting interested in the story. Yes it had talking trees, leprechauns, witches & gnomes but I really didn't like any of the characters. The world building and character building just wasn't there. I just didn't care about the characters or their story. It is shame because there was so much potential with all those magical creatures.View all my reviews
