Welcome to Blackwood Bay, where magic and murder have come out to play…Life for fledgling new witch Dru Rathmore Davis has been a whirlwind since moving to the charming seaside town of Blackwood Bay over a month ago . Seeing spirits, talking to animals, living with three cranky roommates, and totally not crushing on her new Guardian … one morning to find the body of a circus clown slouched dead against her doorstep and her bookshop broken into overnight, one of her worst fears may come to pass.
She may be haunted by a clown…
Together, Dru and her Guardian—incredibly handsome police sergeant Wolf Harper who’s absolutely just a friend —take their investigation to the most marvelous show on earth: the traveling Braun Bros Circus.
It’s evident that there’s a far more sinister performance going on behind the scenes, and this traveling circus may have more skeletons buried in their closet than the Rathmore family.
But when your suspects are a tight-knight troupe of acrobats, fortune tellers, magicians , and clowns, everyone has something to hide—and secrets they’d do anything to protect…

Another cracking read from Misty Bane. I’m loving this series and all the characters in it. Even the bad guys make for fun reading. If you feel like a break from reality, and who doesn’t these days, then this series is a great place to start.
The circus is in town what could go wrong!
Book two in the series sets the scene for a well written story that captures the reader’s attention from the very beginning.
Humorous at times downright funny and interesting at other times, plus unpredictable twists to confuse the reader, all make for a captivating and enjoyable story.
The author did not disappoint.
Recommended!
Gifted with a copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
Fun life Cozy mystery with a Newbie Witch who can see and talk to ghosts, as well as her Gradma who is also a ghost. If you woke up to find a dead clown on your doorstep how would you feel? Well now we are going to go and get some answers!
Great second in series!
I like clowns about as much as Dru! A break-in, a dead clown on her doorstep, a circus in town. What’s a witch to do? Dru is learning more about her magic and just a little more from granny. What is that woman’s problem, tell Dru what she needs to know already! Dru isn’t on her own with the coven and her hunky guardian but since granny doesn’t want to really fill her in, she just seems to figure out her magic as she goes along. Three murders, too many clowns and who is the guilty party? Plenty of twists and turns to make this a fast paced read! Can’t wait for the next chapter!
This is the second book in the Blackwood Bay Witches series. Dru is starting to get used to being a witch, seeing ghosts and talking to animals. Oh, and running the bookstore. When she finds a dead clown almost on her doorstep the same night her shop was broken into, things become interesting, especially because it involves a traveling circus and a magician with a little magic himself.
Dru is smart, level headed, and determined, even when it comes to creepy clowns. She has a coven to depend on and her Guardian, a local police sergeant, but doesn’t hide behind any of them. There’s also some humor, especially in her interactions with her grandmother and the bombshells she learns about her family. The story is well written and the pacing is smooth. I look forward to the next book.
I received an advance copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.
This author wove such an intricate plot that I could not put it down! Just when I thought I had it figured out, there was another clue. She kept me guessing until the very end, and not many authors can do that. I highly recommend this series!
I enjoyed this witchy cozy mystery. The circus is in town and murder is afoot. The writing is fresh and skillful. The plot is tight and multi-layered with no cliff-hangers. I’m looking forward to future installments. I received this book free and chose to make a voluntary, unbiased review.
I throughly enjoyed this book and this series! Misty is a great author who does weave a wonderful spell on her readers. I am so grateful to have discovered her and am hopelessly hooked on this series. Dru only found out about a month ago that she was a witch and has made enormous steps in embracing her destiny with the exception of one area in her life but as the book ends that is about to get really interesting!
I can’t encourage new readers enough to start this series from the beginning and see if you don’t agree with me that you have hold of a terrific story written by a top notch author!
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Ms. Bane’s characters are absolutely phenomenal and her series is great.
In this book, her main character, Dru, is off to the circus to discover the reason why one of it’s clowns is missing and lying dead on her doorstep. Follow along as Dru and her sexy, Guardian/police officer extraordinaire try to get to the bottom of this mystery. Bring on the clowns is this fabulous book.
I love this series and this book is amazing! It’s great learning things about Dru along with her. She’s getting to be a powerful witch!
I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.
I could not put this book down I had to finish it in one sitting. It was easy reading . This is another really good book from this author .
