arc review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. In Destiny cove Zoe mom’s new boyfriend is found dead in her lawn now there is a new mystery to follow .cute
Zoe finds herself with her hands full when her mother’s new boyfriend is found dead on Willow’s front lawn. Who wanted the head of a traveling history exhibit dead and why was he left on Willow’s doorstep? With all signs pointing to Willow as the murderer, Zoe is determined to clear her mother’s name. With the help of her guinea pig familiar Ginger, can they find the killer before he strikes again?
This book is filled with lots of humor coming mostly from the familiars – Ginger the guinea pig that loves to bug Willow (she calls him a rat), Sage the cat who is filled with “cattitude”, and Trucker the sheep who used to be a male witch. I love the magical cookbook that leaves Zoe hints through its recipes.
If you are looking for a book that has humor, paranormal beings, magic, a bit of romance, mystery, and lots of madcap adventure, then this is definitely one you will want to pick up and read.

Zoe and her familiar, Ginger the guinea pig and a total riot. This story was fun and fast paced. A very nasty and manipulative man is murdered and Zoe’s mother is being set up as the fall guy. Zoe’s snooping reveals secrets and hidden items. Of course the introduction of her friend Glinda’s familiar as a sheep named Trucker was hilarious. You will enjoy the story and become entranced by the small town as you weave your way through the mystery.
The Witching Hour – This is my first book by this author and I thought it was OK. There was too much emphasis on her mother’s cleaning and her cleaning supplies. Ginger the guinea pig familiar is adorable; I really like her personality.
It took a while but this quickly read, simple story did get interesting and most of the characters are likable. Not a bad mystery, worth reading when wanting a quick story with humor and good magic. This is a good introduction to the series and I did like the fact the witch used her powers instead of “the too common denying who she is theme”. I found this book on Booksprout.co. 4*
Mummy Knows Best #2 – This is a better story than The Witching Hour. Well written and fast paced, the storylines are interesting keeping the reader involved in the quickly read story. The killer is easily figured out near the beginning of the story but the journey to solving the murder is good. The characters are still likable and Ginger has a boyfriend. There’s good humor and good witchcraft.
Willow has gotten a grip on her cleaning madness, which is something that annoyed me in TWH. The story needs minor editing, but the errors weren’t distracting. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
A Howling Good Time #3 – Another good addition to the bunch. Ginger gets a good chunk of the story and the Cookbook is still so cool. BUT the story is very short and it ends in a cliffhanger. Plenty of intrigue with the demons and an unknown darkness approaching.
There’s a new familiar and an old familiar gone, but there is another familiar arriving soon. The pace is constantly moving and the witches have to join together. Interesting series with good storylines and likable characters; better than I expected since I’m spoilt by Nova’s Eastwind bunch. I contacted the author to review her books a while back and received this one through Booksprout. 4*
