The March Effect

Written by Kim Alexander

Narrated by Em Eldridge

A unicorn walks into a bar…and leaves with my heart.

He’s gone, and now I have a unicorn-named-March-shaped hole in my life. But, I get it. Unicorns aren't meant to live in a world where they have to deal with putting gas in the car, getting groceries, and paying cell phone bills.

I'm trying to get past this. Really, I am. It's just that everyone constantly talks about him, from his immortal ex-girlfriend, to reality TV-obsessed Fae, to even my own fully-human friends. Even his enemies are still obsessed with him. I learned that the hard way. Did I mention the part where I end up on the run—again—from an old, powerful enemy of his? Yeah. Fun times.

I just want to be left to get over my broken heart while watching home improvement shows and eating ice cream. But mysterious disappearances, murder, and a quest for affordable real estate in Washington D.C. keep getting in the way.

Maybe that's just life. Sometimes we get what we want. Sometimes, we get what we need. And sometimes, we get what we deserve. I guess you could call it…The March Effect.

Kim Alexander

Kim Alexander grew up in the wilds of Long Island, NY and slowly drifted south until she reached Key West. After spending ten years working as a disc jockey in the Keys, she moved to Washington DC, where she reported the traffic and spun the Oldies. After a career upgrade, she became the co-programmer of Sirius XM Book Radio, which gave her the opportunity to interview some of her writing heroes, including Anne Rice, George RR Martin, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King and Margaret Atwood, among many hundreds of others. She began writing when she ran out of authors to interview (and they pulled the plug on her channel.) Kim is the author of the epic fantasy series The Demon Door, and the paranormal romance series New World Magic. She currently lives with two cats, an angry fish, and her extremely patient husband close enough to the National Zoo to hear the lions and the monkeys, at least she hopes that’s what those noises are.

Reviews for The March Effect

[Karen Chandler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a book filled with magical creatures that takes many twists that maintains your interest.

[Dirk Kok · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Stick with it. The narration deserves the beatings it gets, but fiddle with speeds. The Story is worth your persevering. Book 2 as well.

[Melissia Lenox · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This series was just what I needed to get smiling and laughing this week—creative af story about humans and non-humans learning how to live on the same planet , with a love story (or two) and a murder mystery bringing together a wonderful blend of characters. Dialogue is smart and hilarious. Narration left me wondering if computer like tone was intentional. I hope not as it detracted more than enhanced.

This was a really cool story! Sweet & unique love story between Ruby & March the Unicorn. Well developed supporting characters made all the elements work together! It could very well end here, but I hope Miss Alexander continues with their story. Good narration too.
