Rabbits Out of Hats

Rate this book
Lacey Willow isn't just a witch. She's a bad one. Any attempt to use magic tends to end in quirky ways which is why she owns a magic shop where people purchase amusing parlor tricks. When her new shop neighbor turns out to be a PI, Lacy is unprepared for the shenanigans that are about to go down. Soon she finds herself accused of stalking, snooping around a funeral parlor, and dealing with hexes while she tries to clear her name.

I am familiar with Ms. Kessler’s writing and was excited to see a new series. I like her writing, and I have to say I really liked this new series. While it almost was a little too light, I really enjoyed the book from start to finish, and I can’t wait to see what Lacey and Trace will get up to next. I hope poor Lacey's magic improves. The book was a light, cozy paranormal, with an interesting plot, and it will entertain all ages. Highly recommend! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Bunny power

Great read, actually made me laugh a few times. Her magic had always been a problem, in that it didn't work the way it should. When a PI opens up a business next to her, she is drawn into a Web of conspiracy and attempted murder. Hexes, wizards, death threats are all mixed up in a really humorous quirky read that you will love. Alright the person behind it all is obvious from the start but the way they are caught is a real fun read. She is quirky, unsure and a bit of an introvert. He is handsome and sure but a bit slow on the uptake. Wonderful characters and the bunnies are great! More please

I have read quite a few books by Mrs Kessler and i have to say this one surprised me. It was a huge change in her normal MO for writing and I loved it!! I truly think she should continue this series because we all need a break from the doom and gloom of the everyday life. This story kept smiling and wanting more. Some of the images she used were quite amusing. Gotta say now I sort of want wine colored drapes. ;)

Great job this was an easy 4.5 Star read!

cute and quirky. Lacey Willow and Trace McHue make the perfect pair. A P.I. and a witch solving cases in their town, a town that frowns on magic. A wealthy woman hires Trace in a divorce case, but her paranoia about Lacey makes everyone say hmm. It doesn't take Lacey to figure out the truth.

Good mystery

Enjoyed this mystery, especially since it didn't involve a murder. Loved the mixed up magic and the rabbits out of hats!

SUPER cute and quick read!

I normally am a Romantasy reader, but this came up in our book club and since it was a short read, I decided to give it a go. I read it in two days and really enjoyed it. The FMC isn't great at magic but her she's super witty and I found myself laughing a few times. Especially with the fur sprouting and bundles of bunnies at the end. IYKYK.

Overall great read and will definitely be reading more by A. L!
