Orchard Hollow #3
Killing Grinds
Piper Addison is in it deep. Turns out, finding out how your ghost familiar met her doom is not as easy as it sounds…Tourist season is over and Orchard Hollow is as peaceful as ever. Piper Addison, the town witch and cafe owner, finally gets to kick back her sneakers and relax. The weather is glorious, her dusty love life has been resurrected, and she’s all caught up on binge watching shows. Nothing can be better! Well, except for one slight problem. Piper promised her ghost familiar she’d help find out what landed her in the land of the non-living. It wouldn’t be so bad if the ghost didn’t have a case of amnesia and a serious need of an attitude adjustment. One thing is for certain, Piper’s familiar didn’t kick the bucket by choice. Between figuring out the mystery of Stella’s demise, battling a raccoon for cookies, and tracing her mom’s steps hoping to reunite with a father she never met; Piper has her hands full. And this time, even her strange magic might not be enough to get her out of this bind.Killing Grinds is a paranormal cozy mystery complete with an unlucky witch, a ghost familiar, and a feisty raccoon with a talent for getting into sticky situations.

KILLING GRINDS by A. N. Sage
The Third Orchard Hollow Mystery
Piper Addison is putting the research into her odd brand of magick on the back burner. Her ghostly familiar has finally started to open up about her death. Sarah wants details and, since Piper has been successful at figuring out murders, despite nearly getting killed herself, she asks Piper for help. But someone doesn't want Piper poking into the past. Will Piper discover what really happened to Sarah Rutherford? Or is she more likely to become a ghost herself?
KILLING GRINDS is a story of friendship. Even though uncovering the truth may lead to Stella moving on and Piper losing her familiar and best friend, Piper follows through. She even follows through when threats are made against her life. And even when Sarah doesn't want her following certain avenues. I also like Piper's friendship with Celia...who puts a certain coven leader in her place after she badmouths Piper and, of course, Piper's developing relationship with Joe.
The third Orchard Hollow Mystery is laugh out loud funny, while it also touches your heart strings. Piper's clumsiness, especially when it comes to her romantic encounters, had me in stitches, as did her dealings with Harry. And when the mystery was solved, the very ending had me gasp! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Funny and intriguing KILLING GRINDS is a fast paced magickal adventure.

Great "lets figure it out" story
Piper has decided to find out what happened to Stella (see series #1&2) evidently Stella the very upscale ghost was not always a good girl and had many friends that were of shady character! Piper has to find out which one was the cause of Stella's demise!

How Did Stella Die?
Answers...finally. You'll have to read the story and it's a doozy! Stella is ready to face death...hers. And, thankfully, Piper is on the case. What could go wrong?
