Loved it!
An enjoyable read. Witchcraft without the really scary creepy stuff. Left me wanting to read the next book in the series.
Loved this book! Keeps your attention and keeps you thinking!
Sisters are slow learners of their magic but there is enough character reveal that I want to read book 2.
I have enjoyed reading this first book in a series. I will definitely continue with this author’s work.
Very unbelievable but fun!
I just wanted to keep on reading… need to get the next book of hers.
Loved this book. The characters were week developed. There were multiple twists and turns. It was a page turner and I didn’t want to stop reading. I was disappointed at how sharply the end of the story was developed and felt it cut too soon. I think I’ll read the next book to resolve the burning issues.
Light, easy paranormal mystery with some romance
This is the first of a three book series, with associated novellas. Each of the books is written from the viewpoint of one of three sisters who are hereditary witches. The sisters are united in trying to find the way to defeat a curse which has affected all the women in their family for the last 150 years. The first book deals with Karin, the responsible, methodical sister. I recommend this book as well as the full series.
Fast moving and interesting. I really enjoyed this.
Would have like a final ending rather than having to read next books in series
I enjoyed the genre mix of the book . A romantic paranormal crime story that kept me interested and wondering where the plot was going . I will definitely be reading the next book in the trilogy .
Definitely makes you want to read the next book in the series
Slowly draws you in and keeps you turning the page. First time author really enjoyed the book. Am eager to read more – thanks.
At first I wasn’t sure about the book but I am glad I kept reading! Wonderful characters and plot! I had to keep myself from reading the last chapter before I got halfway through to see what happened.
The author gives just enough clues that you suspect the killer in advance of the conclusion. Although the heroine constantly reminds herself to be fair to the real estate agent, her dislike is proved reasonable when the agent pulls a gun.
I liked the book, however, I hesitate to say read it. I dislike an author who ends their book as to tie it up, to leave the reader so that they buy the next book. No I will not read any more books by this author.
Good read
I really enjoyed the first book in The Witches of Doyle Cozy Mystery trilogy. Although Karin already knows she’s a witch, she’s not a powerful as her sisters. That is until her dying aunt tells her that she had bound Karin’s powers when she was younger. After the unbinding her powers begin to grow and she will probably become the strongest of the triplets.
As I’ve mentioned in numerous other reviews, a witch (or witch sisters) coming into their powers is my jam. I wanted to switch it up a bit and use jam since I always say catnip. 😉
The supernatural element that is woven throughout the story adds another layer to the book. It helped to enhance the mystery and I feel this will help add more to the next two books in the series too. There are enough suspicions cast on other characters that it took a bit to figure out the killer, but it was not a shock once they were revealed.
The romantic element was enjoyable. There was some tension at the beginning, but it lead to something more pretty quickly without a lot of struggle on the characters part, which is always a huge plus for me. I really liked that the lawyer was supportive of Karin and didn’t question her talents.
One small thing I have to point out that I really, really liked was the brief reference to another series that Kirsten Weiss writes, The Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum mystery series. At one point Karin was reading a book about a paranormal museum, Weiss doesn’t say the title, but for those of us who read her other series, this was a fun nod.
The book is left on a cliff-hanger which one comes to expect from authors who publish their own books. They need to have even more things to keep you coming back compared to the big name authors whose marketing team as lots of money to spend in this area. And it should not come as a big surprise since this is book one in the Doyle Witch Cozy Mystery Trilogy!
Another fun paranormal mystery series that I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
