About this listen
She was born into a world of magic, but she has none of her own…
Cassie Scot is the normal daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. She strives to find a place for herself, but living in the shadow of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. All she wants is a nice, normal job, but her dreams of independence from magic are threatened when she stumbles upon the gruesome body of sixteen-year-old Nancy Hastings.
Now Cassie is plunged into a paranormal investigation which gets her tangled up with the victim’s powerful family, the Blackwoods. Dark, dangerous, and handsome Evan Blackwood tempts Cassie deeper into a world she seeks to escape. Yet Evan—and magic itself—may not be ready to let her go.

"In this entertaining series opener, Amsden (The Immortality Virus) introduces readers to the eponymous Cassie, a decidedly mundane member of a magical family…Listeners will enjoy Cassie's fish-out-of-water struggles as she fights magical threats with little more than experience and bravado." - Publisher's Weekly
“When sorcerers call the shots, what’s a girl without powers to do? Get ready for a ripper of a murder mystery full of romance and intrigue, where magic potions bubble, passions spark and vampires are definitely not your friend. Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective grabs you by the heart and won’t let go until the very last page. Well written, immersive and unputdownable. This is urban fantasy at its best. More please!” - Kim Falconer, bestselling author of The Spell of Rosette, Quantum Enchantment Series

I’m a huge sci-fi and mystery fan and loved the sound of the book from the get go. When I first joined audible I downloaded book one of the Dresden files, within a few months I had listened to the whole selection...I mention this as, to me, it was a little similar to those.
Sure, Cassie doesn’t have the magic like Dresden BUT they’re detectives, there’s a murder or two to investigate, they both deal with the supernatural, they have complicated families and it was a thoroughly good listen. I don’t want to do the book any injustice or make it appear that this is just a copy of another book as it genuinely isn’t, the simple fact for me is Dresden was one of my favourite ever series and I was gutted when it finished...This book seems to pick up the mantle with a female lead this time and I really enjoyed it!
I’d never heard of the author (Christine Amsden) or narrator (Melissa Frank) before but I was really happy with both the story and the narration. I’ve found that sometimes a poor narrator has ruined a book for me whereas a great narrator can pull a dire book and still let me somewhat enjoy it. In this instance the narrator seemed to click with the character and she did a great job. I’ve just checked and thankfully Melissa Frank remains the narrator for the series which is great!
I’ve really enjoyed book 1 and finished listening to it in a single day.
Brilliant first book

Cassie is trying to prove to her family that she can pull her weight as the only non magical child from a family full of magic history, the only way she knows how by becoming a private investigator. Her first case goes wrong when she stumbles over a dead body while trying to server papers and the body has all the signs of the paranormal being involved. Specifically a vampire and Cassie wants nothing to do with the case until the murdered girl turns out to be a cousin of an old friend and the policeman investigating the case is under a love spell. With her family telling her to stay away from the friend and the case Cassie takes it apon herself to prove them all wrong. She is good for something or she will die trying.
I liked the narrator as she had a nice easy way of speaking that was pleasant.
