Book thirteen in the A Brimstone Witch Mystery series a well written book that kept me turning pages I had to know what had happened. This is a blending of both cozy mystery and paranormal which made for a story that flowed smoothly from page to page. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Things have been quiet in Brimstone, but now it appears that three witches have gone missing at the Mirella Retirement Village. Blythe sends Cassia and Stanley to investigate. They are at first thwarted by the grandson of one of the witches, Trent, but he soon joins their investigation. It appears that his grandma has a spellbook that reveals dark secrets.
Is karma paying back Trent’s grandma? Is Trent really helping or harming? What about the healing blue flowers that are so much a part of the village?
This is the first book I have read by this author. She has quite a way with describing settings as well as constructing a complex plot that’s still in the realm of a paranormal cozy. Stanley is an excellent character; I don’t think I’ve read another book that had such an awesome, human-like familiar. I was feeling Cassia’s horror right along with her when things didn’t look so good for the cat. I love the descriptions of the retirement village. Could you imagine living in such a place? The fun zone, the woods, the quiet place–I think I’d love it!
This is an absolutely delightful cozy, and if you enjoy paranormal ones, you might find this a very engaging and enjoyable read.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Paranormal Cozy Mystery
This book is the 13th in the series and stands alone better than most! This is a classic cozy mystery that deals in the paranormal realm with witches, wood nymphs, satyrs, shapeshifters, vampires and so much more! It is not scary in the least bit. The author has created a very believable fantasy world for this series. It has a great plot with many suspects. The ending is unpredictable and very satisfying. I will be reading more of this series! I received this ARC book free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
There is plenty of mystery and suspects in Mirella Retirement Home so Cassia has a lot of work cut out for her especially when you throw in Trent and totally understand the headaches she gets! The fact you really don’t know which way things will go and who is behind the disappearances in great and when things get revealed …boy I was not expecting all the revelations!
This cozy fantasy mystery has satyrs, witches and other fantastical beings. The writing is fresh and skillful. The plot is tight and multi-layered with no cliff-hangers. I’m looking forward to future installments. I received a free copy of this book and chose to make a voluntary, unbiased review.
Cassia and her trusty familiar Stanley are on the case when three witches have disappeared from the Mirella Retirement Village. They soon find out that black magic is involved and someone might be taking their revenge on these witches due to past indiscretions.
I enjoy this series mainly in part because of Cassia. She is written as a smart, honest, and fair individual. Her personality bounces off perfectly that of her familiar Stanley who is a bit snarky and quite humorous. Like the other books in this series, you will find lots of action, adventure, humor, and a very well thought out plot line. The perfect cozy mystery to read over a long weekend.

April Fernsby has created a great fantasy world for her Brimstone Witch Mystery series. This story has a great plot with many twists, turns and suspects. The ending was a surprise and as always very satisfying.
The Satyr’s Secret is another fun filled installment in this fantastic series! This is a classic cozy mystery dealing with witches, wood nymphs, satyrs, vampires and so much more! These wonderfull eccentric characters inhabit an absolutely delightful magical world. It’s not a scary story, but there are some very sad sections.
Three witches have mysteriously vanished, and one of the grandsons is stirring up trouble to find his grandmother. Cassie and Stanley are assigned to investigate the disappearances and soon find themselves deep in intrigue and danger.
Mirella Retirement Village is a charming village on the far edge of Brimstone, it has amenities anyone would love, including a quiet zone, a housing zone, even a fun zone for the young at heart. There are beautiful blue flowers with streaks of silver and gold that grow throughout the Village. Actually, they appear to grow ony in the Mirella Retirement Village. Strangely, even Blythe, the 300 year old head of Brimstone has never seen nor heard of these flowers.
This is a five-star enjoyable mystery. You’ll find yourself both laughing and crying while you read this story.

The Satyr’s Secret (A Brimstone Witch Mystery Book 13) by April Fernsby is a book I requested and the review is voluntary. I really enjoyed this book! Three witches go missing and Cassie and Stanley need the help from satyrs, gnomes, and other witches to get to the bottom of many mysteries to solve the big mystery! Great job!
A strange little gnome finds a new assignment for Cassia the Justice witch, and her cat familiar, Stanley: missing witches in a retirement village.
A charming village, it has a quiet zone, a housing zone, and a fun village – something like superb housing combined with Mouse-land, and a Zen retreat, all wrapped into one.
Somehow the witches decided to erect statues of themselves and to place themselves at the head of the line – saying they were placed in order of their importance.
Things are not entirely as they seem though, The mighty witch may well be mighty nasty. The Zen one, hiding behind forgetting spells, blackmail and deceit.
And the festive one with 15 ex-husbands, in addition to being um festive and um flirty, may have some history of other extreme unkindnesses to other creatures.
A tangled web, which Cassia works to un-knot.
Real love of many kinds may be only delayed, rather than un-done altogether thanks to Cassia and her friends.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout. I also bought it on Kindle, and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I had not read any of the previous books before this one. Looks like I’ll be starting a new series! I really enjoyed reading about Cassia’s and Stanley’s investigations and how close they are. I can’t wait to read more!

April is My favorite cozy mystery writer. She has been since her first story and I’ve read them all. This story is the best one yet, kept me guessing and in my fantasy world, someplace we all need to go once in a while to escape the real world. In this one, Cassia has gotten much stronger with her authority, not taking crap from anybody and I love every word. April, the author, takes you through the injustice and then you get glorious justice, another thing we can only usually fantasize about in real life. Her characters have you cheering and the villains, booing. I did receive this book free in exchange for my review, but I would pay for any book April puts out, and have paid for every book she has put out. I get so excited when the email comes telling me there is a new release and I know I won’t get any work done until I’ve read it.
