The great rivalry between Adele and Grandma Grant is about to come to a head at this fun and crazy Pumpkin festival – and it all falls apart.
There are no winners in the end, and victims are more than the deceased – friends and trust – and maybe romances – are challenged or lost.
A fun and frustrating romance – and fascinating mystery series! Great KU read!
I read this story on Kindle Unlimited, and as part of a Halloween collection and giveaway .
I’m not certain which name to use since I’ve read books under both names: Danica Britton and D. S. Butler. Either name will give the reader something clean and entertaining to read.
A Witchy Boxed Set – This set contains the first two books of the Harper Grant Mystery series: A Witchy Business and A Witchy Mystery. Both books are well written, quickly read and entertaining. The mysteries are well handled, but even with the twists and kinks, I figured out the baddies. I had fun with Harper and her adventures; she’s a likable character and she continues to develop with each book. Her family, friends and community are just interesting and likable, too, and grow more on their own through their involvements.
The story lines of both books keeps the reader immersed in the pages. There’s no stupidity, just naivety here and there. The stories are clean, but there’s well done touches of sexual interest, not tension yet, between Harper and the Deputy. I’m interested in reading the rest of the series, since they’re my kind of relaxing to read witches. 4*
A Witchy Business #1 – Fun to read. This book is well written, quickly read and entertaining; good humor. I had fun with Harper; she’s a likable character and she does develop with each book. Her family and community are interesting, likable and steady growing, too. The story line kept me immersed in the pages; really the stuff Harper puts herself in and what happens to her keeps you reading. There’s no stupidity on her part, things just happen. The mystery was well done and many twists are thrown at the reader, but I still figured the correct baddie. This is a clean story. 4*
A Witchy Mystery #2 – More humor. This book is well written, quickly read and entertaining with more humor. I still had fun with Harper; she’s a likable character and she does keep developing. Her family, friends and community are interesting, likable and steady growing, too. This story line kept me immersed in the pages; Harper doesn’t fail to put and find herself in situations, which just keeps you reading. There’s no stupidity on her part, things just happen. The mystery was well done and many twists are thrown at the reader, but I still figured the correct baddie. The story is clean, but there’s well done touches of sexual interest, not tension yet, between Harper and the Deputy. 4*
Harper Grant and the Poisoned Pumpkin Pie #5: This is a short story filled with humor, magic and laughs. This time there isn’t a murder, but there’s an investigation that gets stopped when a big investigation happens. Harper uses a little magic and wonders if her magic caused the poisoning. Good for a coffee break or a little down time; very relaxing. Still clean. This short can also be found in Witch or Treat, a collection of paranormal stories. 4*
Witch or Treat: A Collection of Paranormal Cozy Shorts
D. S. Butler has a Harper Grant short in this collection. I’ve also read books and shorts by Regina Welling and Erin Lynn, Joynell Schultz, and Ruby Blaylock, and found all these ladies write entertaining stories. If you like any of the above, you’ll like them all. I didn’t have time to read more before I had to post this review, but I’m interested in reading all of these shorts. 4*
