Solstice Witch: A Cozy Paranormal Cat Mystery
Sometimes the Yuletide spirit takes an unjolly turn…
My name is Sarah Braxton, and I’m a witch. It’s busy season in the bookshop, plus, Seashell Cove in the middle of Solstice preparations. The last thing I need is this elf, appearing out of nowhere. Not a tall, intimidating elf, either. A pint-sized Yule elf with pale green skin, frightened, and shivering with cold.
The poor little thing carries an ominous “He is coming.”
The gargoyles are concerned, and so are the ghosts. And then mayhem begins.
Can my cat, Rhiannon, and I figure out how to help the elf, before the mysterious “he” appears?
Find out in Solstice Witch!

I have enjoyed this series of cosy paranormal mysteries set on the Oregon coast. Sarah has inherited her powers as a witch, as a magical Justice, and her book store from her parents and is trying to make her own way in the world of magic and commerce. She has, by this point in the series, a solid group of friends to help her with both and she needs it. As usual Sarah seems to just stumble her way through the book, with everything finally being resolved in a bit of a rush at the end. I would love to see a book 50 pages longer with some more character development and maybe see Sarah get the chance for more thought instead of just lurching from disaster to disaster. But that said, these books are quick reads that have a different take on magical creatures and magical systems than others I’ve read and I like that.

Speaks my language!
"a natural witch recognizes all people, dog people, cat people, tree people etc (slight paraphrase)"
I've always done that, sometimes the fur people before the people people.
Like I said, Thorn speaks my language and I'm loving it!

Exactly what I wished for
Cozy, sweet, queer, and joyful—what more could I want? I'm so thankful a friend shared the author and I found this book.
