This is the first book I’ve read from Heather Blake and it was enjoyable adventure to a town filled with all kinds of witches. I loved getting to know the residents and there was enjoy twists and turns to keep me hooked. I purchased the next book in the series and I’m already looking forward to reading it.
This is a wonderful series, great for easy reads, good imagery, really enjoy to read
I really enjoyed getting to know these characters and will read more of this series, even though it is an older one. That is the sign of well written book, you can read it years later and still get a kick out it!
It was just an enjoyable read!! Plan on reading the entire series. Half way through 2nd one.
You know it as I know that crafters live among us. This book moves along so fast that you’ll need magic just to turn the pages fast enough. Witches aka crafters do their best to stay out of the normal mortals attention. How they do it will always be a mystery especially when one of their own is murdered.
A great read, enjoy!
Cheers

Enjoyable and fast read
Nice easy fun read
I find during this time of COVID misery that I am drawn to lighter hearted, whimsical, stories with an element of fantasy – it’s a great place to lose myself.
Interesting premise, good story.
This book was so fun! I liked that it was human and real, but that there’s magic too! I like that this “detective” is caring and kind. She’s not the usual type for an amateur sleuth. I like the themes of family and of not judging people by what you’ve heard. Lots of twists.
