Family legacies are a curse!Welcome to the Lost Souls ParaAgency, where agents work together to ensure the safety of humans and to prevent exposure of the paranormal community.The Assignment—stop witches from creating magical chaos in the small town of Burberry, South Carolina.There’s no dead body… yet. And there won’t be if Lex Dimas takes this assignment. Forced to take on the occasional … to take on the occasional paranormal case by his manipulative grandfather, he’d prefer to spend his days striking deals in the boardroom. Instead, he’s stuck in small town Burberry searching out witches who intend to harm the unsuspecting townspeople. Only, he doesn’t come upon a group of hateful witches—instead he finds a sweeter-than-peach-pie tea shop owner who wouldn’t harm anyone.
Amira Walker and her two sisters come from a long line of witches who harness the power of emotional manipulation. But the Walker girls aren’t interested in fulfilling their witchy destinies, much to the chagrin of their three powerful aunts. When Lex shows up, Amira mistakenly believes he’s spelled by the aunts in a love match attempt. To her mixed delight and disappointment, she discovers he’s there to apprehend a paranormal villain.
As Burberry becomes a hotbed of magical activity, Lex is sure Amira’s youngest sister is to blame. It’ll be up to Amira to prove her sister’s innocence and help Lex find the true culprit. Can they survive malicious witchcraft and come together as a paranormal investigative team before it’s too late?

After reading the latest 2 books in the series, I decided to go back to the beginning. I’m very glad that I did. The Witches of Burberry each have their reasons for practicing their craft, but with a newcomer in town things could change. This book has a good mix of mystery, paranormal activity, and romance. Fans of K. M. Waller will not be disappointed.
What a great start to a new series. Lots of fun, quirky characters. I had my guess about the killer early on, but was I right? So many suspects. Fun trying to figure out where all the spells are coming from and learning about the sisters. They are a very likable trio. Already have book 2 on hand to start.
Fun, magic, mayhem. This book has it all. Love!
A cozy, witchy mystery romance. It’s not your typical murder mystery, but fans of paranormal cozy mysteries are going to love this too, I think. I know I did! This is the second time I’m reading this; it’s THAT kind of book! A fun read!
Lex gets an assignment he doesn’t want. Witches…. ugh. But it turns out to be way more intriguing than he’d ever thought!
Amira is convinced that the handsome real estate mogul who shows up in her tea shop is under a love spell cast by her meddling great-aunts.
A lot of assumptions are made on both sides and they’re mostly wrong. SHE’s convinced HE’s under a love spell, while HE’s convinced SHE’s a witch-with-bad-intentions who needs to be reported to the Council.
And then something happens and Ris is the main suspect; EVERYTHING points to her! Ris, Amira’s youngest sister. Amira won’t have that!
Fun, magic, mayhem. This book has it all. Love!
Different to a lot of cozy paranormal mysteries. Lots of magic, lots of intrigue, kept me entertained until the end. I’m going to check out others in this series.
I loved this book. It is such a fun, paranormal mystery and romance. The book is well written and it has mystery, comedy, suspense and romance. I really like the characters. The relationship both work and romance between Lex and Amira is so cute and sweet. They work well together. I found the mystery interesting and there was enough plot twists to make it difficult to put the book down. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
A new series that will spark your interest and not let go until you finish the story. But be warned you will be left with wanting more books in this series to read. This is a new series that introduces the three Walker sisters. Witchcraft is in their blood, but not their daily lives. Cannot wait to see what trouble Amira, her sisters and Lex get into next. You will not be sorry you read this book.
Cute Story! I don’t usually like stories claiming to be “romance” based, but this one was interesting and wove the romance into the story perfectly. The already interesting characters developed beautifully and I look forward to following the continuing adventures of Lex and Amira.
This was a cute cozy mystery. I’m not usually a paranormal book fan, but this one was fun and kept you guessing. Lots of intrigue and magic that had you wondering who was behind all of the spells. You have your suspicions, but are you right?
The characters were interesting and quirky…something I liked. While there were romantic sparks flying between Amira and Lex, it was the sparks of magic that made the story sizzle.
Looking forward to the second book in the series.
Thank you to the author for a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion.
