Love is in the air, but so is murder…The Country Acres Coven of Kensleigh Landing East is faced with the terrifying possibility that there is a serial killer in their small suburban town. The murderer seems to be targeting single women, especially those who have used a particular dating app. When Seneca teases Poe about her ‘relationship’ with Oliver, Poe does the only thing she can think of to … she can think of to prove that she’s not interested in the nerdy wizard–she agrees to go on a blind date with someone via a dating app, unaware that a murderer could be using the very same app to pick his next victim.
Meanwhile, Ellie’s on Cloud Nine when her daughter’s gorgeous math teacher asks her out on a date. She’s thrilled at the prospect of being in a relationship again, but she’s just not sure how she’ll break the news to him that she’s a witch. And was that a dating app that she just saw on his phone?
Join the witches of the Country Acres coven as they look for love in all the most dangerous places…

you might think if you had a bit of magic at your fingertips that dating would be a snap. not for the ladies in this coven!
as they try to um encourage? / intimidate the single ladies into dating, havoc reigns.
apps don’t seem to make things easier – they mostly offer more chances to meet folks trying to exploit the system.
and maybe the local Cupid app has a serial killer on offer – certainly, there is at least one weirdo for Poe to go out with – and he seems to have multiple ids. but is he a killer, or just a freak?
what about Ellie’s date? this hunky teacher seems to have a lot hidden. is it just getting to know you stuff, or is it murder?
Can the ladies of the coven see the maybe decent opportunities right in front of them, or will their dating life go to the dogs?
Murderous mayhem, and sisterly coven friendship and support.
I enjoyed this fun book, and I read it on Kindle Unlimited.
Suburban Witch Series:
Mistletoe, Magic & Murder (Prequel) – What a cute story! A well written, quickly read, humorous, fast paced short story with some funny, but smart characters that keep the reader involved with the well thought out plot. There’s even talking cats, which I love in any story, The ending was a hoot! Has an overview of the story, which I appreciate knowing. I’ve read other books by Ms. Blaylock and have enjoyed them, too.
Demons Don’t Play Fair #1 – OMGosh, I’m partway into chapter two and hurting myself laughing. Those cats are a trip! What started with humor ended with a pretty dramatic story. Well written, fast paced storyline; with the main characters developing more into their roles, still interesting and realistic; and some intriguing twists along the way. You know who the murderer is, but there’s more to the story. Has an overview of the story, which I appreciate knowing. I’ve read other books by Ms. Blaylock and have enjoyed them, too. I contacted the author to volunteer for reviews.
Date with Death #3 – I had problems reading this story. Plus, being redundant on the same points of the dating issue, the suspicions against the high school math teacher being a dating app killer struck me as wrong. After the coven just met, Ellie decides to go to the teacher’s lakeside cabin, after only one date the week before. How stupid is this train of thought: everyone’s running around frightened and Ellie is one with the doubts about Theo first, and yet she’s leaving town with him?
I couldn’t read any more of this ridiculous plot (location 1147 of 1968 and it took HOURS to get there) and I enjoyed the other books of this series and love this author, but this book reeks of intelligence like W. C. Fields drinking a pot of hot green tea, unsweet. I contacted the author to review her books. 2*
