It was a fun read and I particularly loved the characters and the setting. Mystic Falls sounds wonderful!
Lovely cosy mystery
Gemma loves her grandmother, but unfortunately the two women have a fallout and Gemma has not spoken with her for ten years. It is too late now as Gemma’s grandmother is no more and Gemma inherits her grandmother’s chocolate shop. Back to the town, Gemma finds herself looking at her ex – Lando, who is now the chief of Police.
With two missing women, Gemma can provide many clues as she knows the reservation area which her grandmother has shown her.
Quick cosy mystery read.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
this is a wonderful story, the first I have read by the author. she did what her mother told her to do until her grandmother died then she went back to the town she grew up in. her ex is there also, she is learning to make chocolate and having trouble. some of the friends her grandmother had help her. then she wonders if her grandmother really fell or if someone wanted her died. very good
Gemma’s grandmother died and left her the chocolate shop, so she’s back in Coyote Wells.
Landon, her ex, is now the police chief.
A small town, a missing woman…
Gemma feels Landon is not doing enough and is drawn into the investigation. She searches for answers at Mystic Falls, on the edge of the reservation, a special place her grandmother had shown her. She finds her destiny….and HOME. She had no idea her grandmother was psychic, but it made her feel better knowing..
I love a good cozy with fun characters, romance and denial, danger and murder, and a dash of the paranormal of the psychic kind. And I do like when I don’t have a clue who the villain is, just a lot of questions.
Mystic Falls is a story about broken hearts, lost love, second chances, and friendships, old and new. It is small town life at its finest. I quickly grew to love the characters and worry for their safety and happiness.
I can see this series is going to deal with each Native American spirit that will be helping Gemma develop her psychic abilities. I love the mix, paranormal, Native American mysticism, romance, and mystery.
Vicki McKeehan can pen a great story and I am looking froward to reading more about my new group of friends…in Shadow Canyon, Book II of A Coyote Wells Mystery series. The books stand alone.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Mystic Falls by Vickie McKeehan.

Entertaining
I really like this book and wood recommend it to cozy lovers. Can hardly wait for the next one. four stars from me.
Was Gemma’s grandmother murdered? Romance, friendship, mystery all combine to make a good story.
Loved it
Romance novel set in American West close to Indian Reservation. The plot involves legends and psychic abilities to solve a town mystery. Recommend.
Could not push the realistic button cause it isn’t realistic in so many ways.
Set reality aside. So important for this one. Now, you don’t need to set it aside for the psychic/mystic abilities, if you believe in that kind of thing. However, definitely set it aside for how a business is run. In a tourist town she is closed on weekends? Open when she feels like it? Giggles… yeppers, set that reality aside.
Desperate beyond all measures for maternal approval, she walks away from a lifetime romance at 19. Somehow the love of the grandmother who raised her and his whole family isn’t enough. Somehow she has spent her whole life unaware of her grandmother (who she lives with) psychic ability. Ok, just accept those two premises.
Now, enjoy this murder mystery that has a couple of touches of romance…. not a lesson in sexual biology.
Ignore all the word stuffing details.
I enjoyed it. Actually, I was amused by quite a bit of the improbable elements.
Loved the book and I bought the next one.
I really enjoyed this story and will be reading the next one soon
