Excellent story! River has developed her newspaper and detective skills. Magic still abounds and the news of it is spreading. River gets romance ,Jordan starts a new life and Zack is discovered/uncovered. Many things are revealed and a friend of Jordan's is murdered. The killer is caught but the story leading up to the ending is well written!

This might not be the worst book I've ever read, but it is definitely in the running. I really hope I received it through a free promotion; I hate to think I spent actual money. The story was trite. The characters had no character (and clearly no intelligence). The ending was obvious. It wasn't a particularly good paranormal, and it wasn't a particularly good cozy mystery. Also, it was dreadfully poorly proofed, which I thoroughly despise. Is it really that difficult to go through a book and ensure that all the words are correct and in the right order?

Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...
1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.
2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.
3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.
4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.
5 stars... I loved this book! It has earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

Who's cookie is it?
Jordan moved to town after buying the restaurant with a friend. River and her friends were at a party when Jordan's friend and partner dropped dead from a poisoned cookie. Rivers friend is arrested and she starts investigating with her friends. River and Jordan grow a little closer as the mystery takes surprising turns. Lots of fun with the girls and good mystery to read.

This Was A Great One
Wow! Lots of twists and turns and bad guys. Just kind of hard to determine who they all were. The good guys, well they all live in the same house and they're witches except for a few of them. Really good.

Cute little cozy mystery that might have gotten 4 stars except there were so many errors. Typos, misspellings, and even some continuity issues. Annoying. Otherwise, a cozy mystery with some light witching.

Paranormal romance mystery
All my favorite types of stories in one. A romantic twist with a witch who solves a murder. Excellent series that can be read alone

Very exciting story
The author has created a unique and well written plot to go with her great group of characters to make a story hard to put down.

Despite the negative reviews I did enjoy this book. I had my suspicions as to who was the murderer, but was surprised by the ending. This book would have been better if a bit longer, and also had a final edit because of the typos. Enjoy that the books are easy quick reads with a fun bit of magic added. *Note: I received a free copy of this book; however, all opinions are my own.

November 2, 2019Cute story, but seriously needs to be edited. Lots of typos and misused words that spellcheck won't catch. Even a read through would catch many of them. Also there are details that are mixed up from one chapter to another. The author does a huge disservice to the work by not having it edited. Even a beta reader or two may help with some of the more annoying problems.

If you like a good wholesome mystery you wil like this book. Characters are believable and interesting. It was a quick read and keep me interested. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Rambling
This book, like the first, sort of rambles around until it suddenly settles on a solution--one in this case that has been painfully obvious from the beginning. There's not much mystery and little investigation. This is not a series I'm planning to follow.

Wonderful
OK now I can not wait 3 more days for book 3 in series. But I guess I must. These really are good books to just sit back and enjoy.

I love the characters. The storyline is great. It could use some good editing. There were occasions where character names were mixed up which took a moment to make sense of.
