A Fresh Brew is a snarkfest that will have you laughing out loud and flipping pages. Our heroine is just a bit overwhelmed with her new responsibilities. We get to go along for the ride as she figures them out along with discovering who killed her beloved aunt Tona. Hailey has a whole slew of supporting characters to help her. I got a kick out of this story and will be checking out future adventures with Hailey and the gang.
A Fresh Brew is a clean cozy mystery. Since coffee is what’s on the menu, tea is the chosen swear word. It’s kind of cute! The mystery moves slowly, though. Was Aunt Tona’s death really an accident? Hailey inherits the coffee shop along with the apartment and Tona’s cat. Azure is his name and he’s actually a magical creature in disguise!
This is a dialogue driven story with lots of snark, but I didn’t think it was all that witty. The conversations that I enjoyed were between Hailey and the officer that she nicknamed Mr. Bear. I also liked the friendship between Hailey and Aubrey. I was happy when Hailey stood up for herself and took authority, but I thought she was mean towards a certain person at the grocery store. That didn’t endear her to me. Another important character is Azure who acts more like a bossy cat! Will the two of them finally get along and work together to solve the mystery?

This was page turning book that was lots of fun. I loved Azure and the help he gives to Hailey in his own peculiar way. It was hard for Hailey to believe that her aunt had been murdered but she was determined to figure out what happened. I am really looking forward to reading the next book.
After the unfortunate death of her aunt, Hailey inherits her aunt’s cafe and her aunt’s cat, err dragon. What a fun read! Not your usual cozy. Received an ARC from the author. My review is freely and honestly given
A great beginning to a new series. Hailey just lost her great Aunt Tona, but she inherited her coffee shop in a small town. As if that wasn’t enough she also got a snarky cat named Azure in the deal as well. But things are not what they seem in the little town of Marble Falls.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Hailey and Azure along with the other characters in town. I would highly recommend this book, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in the series.
Hailey inherits a coffee shop when her Aunt Tona passes away. She also inherits her cat Azure who we find out is really a dr__on. I want to tell you about it but I don’t want to give the surprise away. So this is a bit of a snarky (in a hilarious way) book. It has mystery, suspense and a bit of romance and all rolled up makes an entertaining read. I recommend this book. I was given a copy of this book at my request and this is my honest review.
Not my usual type of cozy to read but will be continuing with this series Likeable characters with great dialogue. A dragon that can morph into a cat or bat.who telepathically can communicate with its human protector What more could you want ?
