Two Broomsticks Gas & Grill Witch #1
Sinfully Delicious
Stormy Morgan left her hometown of Shadow Hills, Michigan, with one goal: to write the great American novel and strike it rich. She sold her novel not long after college, did relatively well, and then fell off a cliff into obscurity. Now, without a book contract, she’s back at her family restaurant in a one-stoplight town… and she’s convinced things couldn’t possibly get worse.
That feeling only lasts until her first shift, when on a trip to the storage building behind the restaurant, she literally trips over a body.
Roy Axe, Shadow Hills most hated “Axehole,” died a hard death only feet from the restaurant (and the second-floor apartment Stormy currently resides in). The detective on the case is none other than Hunter Ryan, Stormy’s high school boyfriend, and the man who occasionally still calls to her in dreams. Hunter only cares about solving a mystery – nothing else – so their reunion is tense.
In an attempt to distract herself from what’s happening, Stormy and her cousin Alice get drunk one night and pull out their great-grandmother’s old Ouija board, and it sets off a strange string of events, most of which seem magical … if you believe in that sort of thing, and Stormy isn’t sure she does.
Stormy has trouble deciding which problem to focus on, so she avoids them all until things start blowing up in her face.
Shadow Hills is a small town but the secrets that plague it run deep. Stormy is a woman – or maybe a witch – lost in a sea of magic and despair… but murder might just lead her out of it. That is if she can survive to solve the case, that is.

I came very close to not finishing this book. It was recommended by a neighbor to who I had mentioned that I needed a book set in Michigan for a challenge, so she rushed right over and handed this one to me. Now I'm not quite sure what I'm going to say to her...but I guess 'thank you, it was interesting", will maybe be all I need to say. I don't know if she's read it or not so......I'll leave the worms in that unopened can. The two main characters are Stormy and Hunter, a typical heroine and her cop boyfriend. I understand that they are regulars in most all of this author's novels. I do have to say that the mystery in itself is relatively good, and while it isn't a complicated "WhoDunnit" by any means, it had "good bones" and the motivation was a complete surprise. Not to mention the very, very cute cover! Now... the downside. The terrible, horrible obnoxious grandfather!!!!...I wanted to kill him and hide the body...perhaps providing suitable fodder for the next book. The scenes with Stormy and her grandfather weren't just over the top...in your face obnoxious they were repetitive to the point I thought I had accidently missed a page or had read the same page twice ...or three or four...or five...times. Get the idea? It was literally the very same conversation covering huge amounts of multiple chapters in a row. It lost any hope of the reader knowing, understanding or emphasizing as to how Stormy felt by the end of these numerous recitations. This is the first book in this series that I have read by this author and I'm not going to say that I'll never read another one...but I sincerely hope that Stormy and her grandfather come to some terms, and I will be extremely careful in the future telling my neighbor why I'm going to library.

Boring rehash mishmash
I wanted to like this book. My favorite author has a new series? Great.
But has she run out of ideas? It's a mix of characters and plot lines from other series, sadly. I could deal with just recycling her old stuff, as I like her old stuff. (I had to make sure I was not reading Avery Shaw after that prologue, I mean c'mon) But it was so predictable. Pedantic. Slow. I slogged through it hoping it would become unique, interesting or at the very least I would get my dose of snark while I read. it was a fast read. Best I can say about it.
I will try the next out of hope that she will change it up.But I would rather have her focus on the top series she is already writing if anything new is just a rehash mash up. Sorry. But the 2 was out of affection for the author.

3.5 stars.
This book is not "great literature", but it's a lovely escape from reality for a few hours. I enjoyed it a lot. I will most definitely continue listening to this series in the future.
I must however say that the title "Sinfully Delicious" doesn't make any sense. I found no real connection to the story there, but it's basically the only real complaint I have.
Oh, except how infuriatingly obsessed the entire town was with Stormy and Hunter. I would have gone ballistic from far less than what Stormy somehow endured. Oh, and I would probably have slapped Alice and disowned her as family. Gawd, I thought she was such an annoying person.
I didn't see the plot twist coming in the end. I mean, I suspected something, but not exactly that. So it was great. I approve a lot when something surprises me like that. 100% WTF moment.
Oh, and the eyebrows... Yeah. I loved that. Great Adam Savage moment x 2!

I hated giving a low rating for this, as Amanda Lee is one of my favorite paranormal authors. Her Winchesters, for example, are a hoot, but here's the thing: they're all strong, capable women, even when they occasionally whine. The mc in this book was nothing like that. Sure, she had a major setback, but the whining, complaining, and rehashing ate up a lot of the story. And the maybe-maybe not with her former boyfriend kept on going. All this left not a whole lot of time for the mystery, sad to say. I was heartened, however, with the mc's use of her recently-discovered witch-y powers. That was a good bonus!
I greatly admire the author, so am already planning to give the upcoming second in the series a try. From the synopsis it sounds like it could be a winner.

I wanted to read a cute and lighthearted book to cozy up with. This was not that book. From the synopsis and cover I was anticipating a cute mystery set in a charming town with a main character with new witchy powers and maybe a little romance.
What I got was an incredibly repetitive and predictable story, every chapter rehashed the same conversation about a high school romance that elicited the same eyeroll worthy reaction from the main character. The magic and mystery elements of the story were not prominent. There were also topics and relationships that were mentioned and then never expanded on... very incomplete character building and storytelling.
Maybe just not my cup of tea, still on the search for cute, cozy, and magical.

Well I loved this. I love the characters especially Grandad. The family are crazy but so much fun. I loved the Humor throughout. I also liked how her powers were coming through. I love the small town vibe. The way rumors spread and goes round. I didn't get the mystery part so that was nice reading who did it and why. I can't wait to see if the romance works out and what trouble she'll get into.

November 18, 2023Disclaimer: I was in a bad mood when I read this book. It did not make my mood better. You've been warned.
Unrated out of the bitchiness of my heart. I did not enjoy this book. First off, this was promoted as a cozy culinary mystery/cozy witch mystery on kindle. Sure, it’s called Sinfully Delicious and the first book in the Two Broomsticks Gas and Grill series, but other than a handful of conversational scenes in the diner there is no mention of cooking or anything culinary. Even the scenes in the diner are not culinary focused. Why set this at a restaurant, call it Sinfully Delicious, and then not incorporate food into it? We couldn’t even get a scene of her learning how to make a pie crust or something? Not only that, but the technique she employed to get information out of people felt unbelievable. Characters who should know better freely gave up information within seconds of being questioned. They did not question why she was asking these questions. It felt like a video game where you’re on a quest and the character with the information for the quest follows a quick and simple script. There was not much mystery or analytical thinking happening. The mystery was also heavily overshadowed by the incredibly repetitive conversations about her love for Hunter (the love interest), how she devastated him by breaking his heart years ago, and how they are meant to be together. This was a conversation point, or an inner monologue moment, almost every chapter with legitimately EVERY CHARACTER. It also turned out that Hunter had a major clue to the mystery and yet, despite being a COP, he didn’t connect the dots. But it doesn’t matter because Stormy ALSO didn’t connect the dots. In fact, the murderers had to tell her they were the murderers and why they did it. She did not come to these conclusions on her own or even come up with a viable suspect. As a book promoted as a mystery, it feels like she should have been able to figure that out. Is that not the point of a mystery book? In addition, her witch powers felt like an afterthought added in to make the book more interesting and to provide a way to incapacitate the murderers, who had guns pointed at her and she could obviously not fight off. The fact that she went to her grandmother’s house one day and was like “soooo witches in the family??” and her grandmother casually went “oh yeah there’s witches in the family we just didn’t tell you”. The reason for her powers manifesting is also not explained or explored. I truly thought there would be a more paranormal aspect to this than just witches as she plays with a ouija board in the beginning of the book and doesn’t end the session properly. As such, I believed a ghost was somehow involved in the story or haunting her. Did the ouija board unlock her powers?? Why have a ouija board, not end the session properly, and then not incorporate that into the story?
Re: the love interest, he has a girlfriend until 99% into the book. Seriously. And he doesn't dump her right away even though he knows he can't resist Stormy. Monica was extremely justified to scream at Stormy in the diner, where she doesn't even COOK! Justice for Monica, fuck Hunter, ACAB etc.
Between her inability to solve the mystery on her own and feeling let down by the title and paranormal aspects, I simply cannot recommend this book.

Whilst trapped in my car with these characters on the slow crawl home from work yesterday, I had a sudden, visceral reaction to the whole thing. I loathed them all with a passion I couldn't begin to describe. All the mean jabs were like death from a thousand cuts. This is listed as a cosy mystery, and yet they were all just really horrible people, including the ones that were meant to be the good guys. Also, if we went over the MFC and MMC's romantic history and resurrection one more time, I might have crashed to put myself out of my misery.
So, yeah, even though I wasted an Audible credit on a trilogy, I'm not venturing into book 2.

Stormy, a young writer has moved back to her hometown after her second book fails. She is doing her high school job of waitressing tin the family diner and living in her grandfathers apartment. When a man is found dead behinfpd the diner she finds her high school boyfriend is now on the force and in charge of the case. His girlfriend hates Stormy on site. And something weird is going on with her grandfather, he refuses to speak to the police, ducking out when they show up. A good read by one of my favourite authors. I look forward to the next in the series.

Bit of a slow burn, but I liked it a lot. I thought I was right about who committed the murder, but the author did a good job of making me second guess myself. There were definitely quite a few hilarious moments as well, which I love in a good cozy.
I would like them to speed up the information on her abilities and how they work and how good/bad she may be at them.
Looking forward to the next book.

3 stars ONLY because that’s just the type of books they are. However, I highlyyy enjoyed this and will keep reading. These books are exactly what you want them to be for a cute and cozy murder mystery. There wasn’t extra bullshit, it was a quick and fast paced read that kept me entertained. Read in 2 sittings. I might just have to buy the series they are so adorable. Perfect fall read!

A nice cozy but weak on the paranormal front. Hopefully book two will pick up energy.

it’s a start for a new series
As a new series for the author, it was a decent start, though it took entirely too long to get to any of the plot points. There was way to much ridiculous angst and exposition from the main female lead.
It was also too formulaic. Seriously the author rarely bends from her formula between her various series. You have character A, a wimpy female character, trying to find herself, but so without a backbone or brain it’s amazing she ever supposedly wrote a book. Oh and don’t forget, she must have a unique name that stands out but is also a tad on the weird side and magic sounding, here it’s Stormy Breeze. Similar to other series names, like Bay, Charlie, Izzy Sage, Poet, or Scout. B, the alpha male with his own damage to overcome, and once again a police officer. They know they love each other but will have to go back and forth over their emotional rocky recovery, all the while she figures out her magic heritage but can he accept such heritage. His name must have that all important alpha male or frat boy sounding name. In this case it’s Hunter, but could also have used Jack, Kade, or Landon, like in the other series. C, the elderly person looking out for the lead character. One surprise on this character, it’s a male, though that may change if the great-grandmother returns to town and takes over that role. Though as in the Avery Shaw series, she will on occasion use a male. She even made both grandfathers from their respective series, run their own diner/restaurant to keep the families involved with one another and for some reason has to eat weird concoctions of food usually involving lots of onions. I guess it was too difficult to allow them to even have different family businesses.
More side characters, there is D, the overbearing and demanding mother, which the lead has a very strained relationship with. E, the loud but lovable cousin, who is like a sister because they grew up so close to each other. F, the potential gay BFF, though in this instance everyone assumes he’s gay which he adamantly refuses to be true. Then character G, a female character that will be in competition or at least heated yet humorous arguments with the main female. She is of course, the ex of alpha male B. Everyone doesn’t like her, including said alpha male. Belittled as Kardashian-like or similar to reality TV based personalities. She must be made fun of, including in this instance to having been magic missiled into losing her eyebrows.
Wow, initially I was thinking this wasn’t that bad of a story, but after I just wrote the last two paragraphs on how little character development was done in make this series, I have dropped my opinion. As a new series, I originally thought to give it several stars, because it was new. It isn’t though. It’s the same formula she’s written but just twisted in very, very small ways, to create it. There isn’t even any significant differences to make this series stand out.
The female lead is so self involved, which she makes fun of in others when complaining of Kardashians and Reality TV. A snarky staple of the author. I have no problem making fun of both those genres, but if you make fun of such areas, you can’t make your lead just as vapid as what they complain about. The moment that Stormy is talking to Erin at the coffee shop, it’s obvious what has been going on, and that this character is likely the killer. Yet Stormy is oblivious of this fact, even when very direct questions are asked and answered. I realize there needs to be some foreshadowing and allow for the great reveal, but seriously, no one is that brain dead to not realize you are talking to the killer.
The only surprise I had was the added twist of the porn industry filming being done. Though of all the abused and unknowingly filmed women that the dead character took advantage of, there is no way that the filming would not have come out before this.
I understand an author needs to write about what they know. But change some characters around, instead of using the routine parts. Definitely change locales between series. Many of the author’s series are set in Michigan. Only Moonstone Bay and Mystic Caravan seem to be set in other places, yet Poet from Mystic originally even came from Detroit. This set of books are placed within a short 20 minute drive from the Hemlock Cove Witches series. Branch out, maybe one could be set in San Francisco, Portland, or Albuquerque. Though if you prefer small town settings, try new states. Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, or Colorado all have large areas with lots of small towns dotted across them.
As I stated, I originally thought to give this book 3 or 4 stars, but after writing my review, it has made me realize just how disappointing this new series actually is. There are some good things about this author’s writing. I enjoy the snarky content, but change the commentary up some. Modify the characters, plots and locales. Write something new!

Nice start to new series.
Looking forward to reading more in this series. Sebastian and Stormy's grandfather were great. I loved how tidbits from her Wicked Witches of the Midwest were woven in. Mystery was good. Didn't guess the ending.
I recommend all of Amanda M Lee's series and her Lily Harper Hart books. As with those sex and violence are non graphic or off page. No language exactly in this book. Witch with a B was antitrust like that. So bad word was alluded to but not seen.

SPOILERS
Stormy and Hunter reminded me a little too much of Nick and Maddie in the "girl came back after leaving for a long time and now bit has a girlfriend he wanted to breakup with but doesn't right a way because he is protecting himself" situation. They aren't my favorite couple. Maddie always seems to insecure and though I know some people are like that, it doesn't mean you want to be in their head of have a lot of patience for that. Don't take me wrong I am still reading every book and enjoying them. I love all of this authors works but someone has to be in the bottom.
Stormy is different than that though. She has some moments of "I failed" but that isn't all she seems to be. She isn't her insecurities. I think I will really continue to like her.

Enjoyable read
The book was an easy light read. If you like sarcasm and witches you should enjoy this book. Only thing was it had a slow start to the beginning.

I enjoy the flow of the writing so much. The conversation runs smoothly. just like the title it is so cozy. I'm thrilled to follow the protagonist journey to her new identity

Love, love, love these new characters! I don’t know how you do it but keep it up. I cannot wait for Stormy to start collaborating with Hemlock Cove. Grandpa meet Grandma.

A great new series takes flight...
I love how Amanda writes her books so she can link series to series with eventual cross-overs to build her awesome supernatural world more. I also love how new characters remind me of old characters who I love so much, it's like coming home and curling up with my favorite blanket and even though they might remind me of other characters, each one of Amanda's characters has their own distinct and unique personality which I just love.
Stormy is just awesome, she left her small town to pursue her writing dreams and in the end, I think what she may find is that she never needed to leave to make her writing dreams come true, I think she needed to leave so she could realize home is where her heart will always be...
Hunter, gorgeous, sexy mixed up Hunter...lol oh he might as well just give it all up now he always has been and always will be Stormy's man, that is even more apparent with his choice of current girlfriend lol he picks the total opposite of Stormy.
So first day back at the family restaurant and Stormy literally stumbles over a dead body... and it's someone her Grandfather had a continuous relationship with but there is no way her curmudgeonly old grandfather killed this guy... But then why is he avoiding the police???
I truly enjoyable read.

Cute cover - probably that's why I bought it in the first place.
And I like Amanda M. Lee's books because they are very predictable paranormal cozies. Okay I admit there is a certain repetitiveness in the series but this is true for nearly all of her books and it also is a feature of most cozies.
I liked Granddad - although he surely is a bit obnoxious but that is what makes him such a funny character. As I rather like Tilly Winchester and Stormy's grandfather is pretty hilarious, too.
It is a pretty fast read, perfect for late summer!

Sinfully Delicious begins when the heroine finds a dead body. Now, she must figure out who the killer is while trying to come to terms with her ex being back in her life. This was a fun, crazy ride with an awesome plot and I can't wait for more.
December 3, 2021
Overall, Sinfully Delicious was a cute start to a new series. I haven't read any of Amanda Lee's books before now, so this is my entrance into her as an author as well and overall I do like what I see. I can confirm I'm already eight chapters into the second book for this series, because I liked it enough to want to continue and see where this story goes with the main character Stormy, as well as her grandfather and her ex.
Spoilers weaved in and out of my review ahead, so read at your discretion.
Stormy is an interesting character, and while she does come off a little whiny at life and her lot in it with having to find herself back in her hometown, living above her family's restaurant by the grace of her grandfather's working with her on the rent to lease the place, if you really think about it wouldn't you be a little whiny if you were in her shoes too? No one expects to make it, break it, and find themselves back at home after college. I will say, I would have liked to see her pull her bootstraps up a little bit more than she did as a whole with being an adult that's almost thirty, but to be fair and realistic, I've seen this attitude first hand so I can't say it's not wrong or inaccurate with how people are sometimes either.
Her grandfather is possibly one of my favorite characters in the book. Especially with his disappearing acts whenever Hunter, local cop and Stormy's ex-boyfriend, comes around to try and talk to him. Especially when he pops back up after Hunter leaves like he'd been at the counter cooking the entire time she'd been looking for him and Hunter was there.
I do have to say I wasn't thrilled with Hunter as a whole, more with how he was using his current girlfriend throughout the book. It's both said about him from a friend, as well as he does more or less outright say he knew that it was never going to work with Monica, but he kept her around because he wanted to have a wall or shield against having Stormy come back so he could have a super easy way of keeping Stormy at arm's length. Which is 100% not fair to Monica to be strung along for almost a month just because he was scared of how it might go between him and his ex-girlfriend. While I didn't like Monica, I do sympathize with her a little because she was, in effect, a pawn to Hunter when she thought he actually cared about her.
Sinfully Delicious is sold as a Witch Cozy Mystery, and while like I did say I'm into book 2 already, the first book doesn't do a lot for bringing in the paranormal to the book to tag the first book a witch book. We slowly learn, with Stormy, that she has powers that she accidentally unlocked one night while playing with a Ouija board. By the end of the book it's clear she has powers and comes from a witch line on her grandfather's side - and honestly with the way her grandfather seems to be able to pop in and out of sight at the drop of a hat I wouldn't be surprised if later on in the series we find out that he does have at least a small bit of magic he keeps to himself. But as a whole I wish for a WITCH cozy mystery there'd been a little more WITCH to it.
As well, while there is a death and a mystery, I did find myself feeling like the mystery aspect of it took a large backseat to the romance aspect with the push and pull of Stormy and Hunter as they tried to navigate their feelings for each other.
Maybe I'm just used to the cozy mysteries where the main character has her nose in EVERYTHING when it comes to trying to sniff out the who dun it, with the story focusing on the mystery and the romance being the secondary plot so having it almost flipped left me a little disappointed with the mystery as a whole. But it felt like the wrap-up of the mystery was a little rushed in this book. As a whole, the mystery was wrapped up decently well and it all made sense to the story and plot, it just felt a little like we realized we had gotten to the end of the book and needed to wrap it up so let's get on that, kind of ending.
But at the end of the day, it's also a cozy mystery, and it was a cute and cozy read.

i saw this book on a post about cozy fall mysteries or whatever and decided to get it. i love fall and mysteries and being cozy, so it seemed perfect. biggest. mistake. ever. and because i hated it so much, please enjoy my rant, which i predict will be better than the book itself.
i did not like this book in the slightest. it was so rushed and the murder mystery wasn’t even the main plot. and it did not give me fall vibes at all.
basically stormy comes back to her home town and finds a man murdered in an alley and her ex boyfriend from high school is the police officer on the case. but hunter, the ex, has a new girlfriend. then everyone in stormy’s life won’t SHUT UP about hunter and stormy and how their relationship was so real even though they were only 18 and that they were gonna find their way back to one another because the whole town knows they’re secretly pining for each other because their feelings from high school never went away, blah blah BLAH. i wish i were exaggerating, but his name was mentioned in this context in like every other line. even in scenes he was not in. by the end of the book, if i had to read about how hunter was so perfect and how stormy was so sorry for breaking his heart but they were both in denial about their current feelings i would’ve thrown my book across the room so fast. and somehow you’re supposed to believe these people are 28-30 years old.
also, stormy’s family is WEIRD. don’t get me wrong, i have weird family members too, but her family was straight up invasive. no boundaries, no respect for personal space or private conversations, everyone knew everyone else’s business. it was ridiculous. and it was written to be like quirky in a charming way, but it did not land with me.
and don’t even get me started on poor monica, hunter’s new girlfriend. they paint her to be some villain when she (very reasonably) gets upset by the fact that her boyfriend is currently falling at the feet of stormy (his ex, mind you, who everyone thinks he’s still in love with) and prioritizing her over monica CONSTANTLY. i would absolutely lose my mind too if i were her. she is a victim!!!!!! she deserved better!!!!!!! justice for monica!!!!!
then, WHILE ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING (as in murder investigation, monica hating stormy, stormy hating monica, stormy and hunter acting as if they were still 16 years old, stormy’s freakishly invasive family), stormy is discovering she’s a witch with magical powers. super random but pop off i guess?
anyways, i usually keep all the books i purchase regardless of my reviews — they’re like trophies — but this one is an exception for me. i refuse to let it sit on my shelf and offend the other books in my possession. it will be sent back tomorrow.
if you made it this far, love you thank you for reading, i hope you enjoyed because I DIDN’T.

I picked up this series eagerly, having been a fan of AML’s Mystic Caravan series a few years ago and expected this to hold that same light!
Unfortunately...I was wrong.
The book isn’t particularly bad. It has a lot of great qualities to it — the drama is television-worthy, the mystery itself was a fun puzzle to keep you cozy, and the characters were actually pretty interesting being family-centric, which is a nice change from the Only Child, Lonely Main Character.
But it stops there. The complaints I have about this book alone is vast. My first disappointment being that it’s not as foodie-themed as I expected. Everything about the first glance of this book (cover art, series and title name, the setting) suggested we would be met with some delicious food appreciations and baked treats that would make you wanna cook and eat while you read. With witchcraft and magic to top it off and make it even better. Talk about putting the fun in yum!
Turns out, the only real reference or appreciation for food was the fact that the family owned a diner. That’s about it. And I was met with disappointment. On top of that, the writing was incredibly lackluster, filled with the same two or three conversations the MC had with each character that would only involve her history with her ex boyfriend, how badly she wanted to leave that small town she grew up with, and how her writing career burnt up in fiery flames after only writing two books.
I’m not kidding. The same conversation, no matter who Stormy spoke to, was about how she was back in town and why, and about her history with her high school sweetheart. Honestly, for a small town to be that obsessed with a teenage couple that eventually burned out is really weird. It made me think this was a poor attempt at mimicking Stars Hollow in Gilmore Girls and turning it into a mystery. And witches, can’t forget about the fact that there’s supposed to be magic and witchcraft in this book. Which you will. It was akin to a basic “Who dunnit?” Episode of a TV show, and then the author went back and tried to fit some witchcraft elements wherever she could.
I didn’t even realize I was 30min away from finishing the book until the last second. That’s how much just...didn’t happen.
Overall, if youre expecting a fun, quirky mystery filled with any kind of steam and sugar, this is not what you’re looking for.

4.5 stars! This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed this book so much! It was such a fun and light-hearted read. I devoured it in one afternoon.
Stormy left her hometown and didn’t look back. She had big dreams to leave it behind, become a city girl and famous author. She wrote a successful book and secured a contract for a second and third book. When the second one flopped, her contract was pulled. Without money or success in her future, she was forced to return to the hometown she was trying to forget. We find her back in her family restaurant working with her grandpa and uncle. One day she goes out to fetch some pickles and slips on something and discovers a body. Her family immediately calls the police...AKA Hunter Ryan, who just happens to be Stormy’s high school boyfriend and the one that got away. She’s horrified to be reunited with him under the circumstances, but he shows up to do his job. She finds out he has a girlfriend and tries to deny the feelings that are bubbling up inside of her. Should the past stay in the past? Or is it worth pursuing?
Also in the storyline, Stormy begins to field feelings of having supernatural abilities. She’s unsure about them and seeks out information to try and and answer her questions about her family line and how that may impact her.
Meanwhile, she keeps experiencing hair raising occurrences where she’s feeling watched and unsafe. Is someone out to get her? Is it related to the murder that happened in the alleyway at the restaurant and her finding the body?
You will have to read to find out.
This was a fun story! I enjoyed the romance aspect. It wasn’t too much and left me wanting to read more. I was glad to find out this was a series and more books will be coming! In the meantime, I’m definitely going to go read some more books by this author.

Reads like “Regional Real”
I read over 100 books a year on Kindle Unlimited and there are many that aren’t written well. This book is not one of them, yet I can see where it might not appeal to those who like fast paced, action adventure. This is truly a cozy story that had me laughing out loud a few times and delighted me with some of Grandpa’s insights so the writing definitely appealed to me.
Drastically mixed reviews are intriguing because they make me curious so then I have to check it out for myself. At first I found the conversations sluggish, I wanted to get right to the action but by the time I hit the 30% point I had the hang of the story style and realized that those “sluggish conversations” were in fact creating a regionally realistic moment in time that anyone from a small town would recognize, since I’m from a small town I was hooked.
If you have ever been to a high school reunion you quickly realize how influential high school was in establishing future relationships, friendships as well as enemies. High school makes you either want to settle down in your home town (or somewhere like it) or run away from it. Some people never outgrow those high school days..weird but real and relatable, just check and see how many friends from HS you have on FB. Some of us can’t wait to escape from that small town (like Stormy) and others stay behind and thrive (like Hunter)..or not. I really liked how the writer’s characters captured the reality of rural, small town life while adding a bit of romance and magic with promises of more to come.

Another great series.
This series has some similarities to the Maddie Graves series. Stormy and Hunter are teenage sweethearts but they break up when Stormy goes away to college wanting a life away from Shadow Hills. Hunter was supposed to go with her but when the time came he wasn't able to. Roll on the years and life has not turned out as Stormy planned so here she is back in Shadow Hills living over and working at her grandfather's restaurant. Hunter is now working for the sheriffs department as a deputy having never left town. Stormy and Hunter run Into each her first day back at work when she finds a dead body outside the restaurants back entrance. He seems indifferent to her but Stormy finds herself still as drawn to him as she used to be A murder in Shadow Hills is unusual so the whole town is talking about it as well as Stormy and Hunter. It's going to be a difficult crime to solve although the victim was a thoroughly disliked man there is no clear motive or suspects. It's a mystery Stormy is determined to solve -------- it takes her mind off her own problems--------- unfortunately her involving herself in the investigation hasn't gone unnoticed. Shadow Hills is the next town over from Hemlock Cove where the Winchesters live so we may get some characters crossing over in future books. Something to look forward to.

This author's works are usually based around strong, confident, intelligent young women. While most of these works share many, MANY similarities, they can always be relied upon to be entertaining. This book was quite a departure. While the male leader character, true to form, was a hot cop, the female lead was pathetic: not very bright, prone to whining and feeling sorry for herself. I had no inclination to like her or to care about her poor, sorry self. Also, this was a pure cozy with only a touch of paranormal. There are very few ways to handle the basis of a cozy mystery, that some amateur has a good reason to insert herself into a murder investigation and thereby ending up in need of being rescued. This is one of my biggest gripes with the genre....WHY does this waitress have to go around town questioning people about a murder? Does she think the police handling the investigation (her childhood love) is incapable of doing his job? Her bumbling about ends up getting her in a life or death situation...Oh, dear! What a surprise. However, this is how a cozy is supposed to work, so no points off there. I just did not care for the MC or the town or the family or anything else. There was no chemistry. Sorry. No book #2 for me.
