Really enjoyed this short story. Mitzi has arrived at Pin Cherry Harbour to start a new live alongside the spirit of her grandmother, a unique cat and a series of unusual characters.
She becomes involved in finding the artefacts of the coven leader, alongside her remains. Her spirit then decides she needs Mitzy’s help to leave her earthly resting place, but all is not as it seems.

Whatever Trixie Silvertale writes, I’m all in — and this Halloween collection is no exception!

In "Lost Cases and Hallowed Places," Mitzy and her alchemist mentor head to a wooded island where a trapped witch’s spirit needs their help. There’s a mysterious map, a buried secret, and a little ghostly mischief — plus some great moments with Deputy Paulsen (shockingly, I actually liked her here!). It gave me the same vibes as the early Mitzy books, full of charm and adventure.

Fast, clever, and full of heart — perfect for when you want a little Halloween magic without committing to a full-length novel. If you love Mitzy Moon, you’ll breeze through this story and finish with a smile.

Five stars — cozy, clever, and just the right amount of spooky fun!

Mitzy has to take Pye to a secluded cabin for a few days. There is no TV or internet, what is a girl to do? Mitzy is not an outdoors kind of person. So, she and Pye snoop around the cabin and find a map. The map leads them to a buried treasure and some bones. They believe the bones belonged to a missing witch who was a friend of Mitzy's grandmother. With the help of her mentor, Mitzy has to send the soul of the witch on her way.

Just finished this novella and I really enjoyed it. Mitzy just found she a bookstore and from a Grandmother she never new and never will living. After saying that, just so you know, she will get to know her Ghost Grandma. She is a clumpy woman and she does not know what she is supposed to do but she now feels like she isn't alone and wants to know about her Ghostly Grandma and her helped at the bookstore. Check out this book and read what Mitzy has to do at the Cabin. Happy reading.

This novella will take you back to the early days of Mitzy Moon after her move to Michigan. Set during the Halloween season, Mitzy and her mentor tromp through the woods on an island which is haunted by a witch. Will they be able to find the witch and set life back to normal?

Fun seasonal read. Wonderful characters.

Another case closed

What started out as an escape from cleaning the book store turns into another mystery for Mitzi and Pyewacket. A mysterious map is the first clue into the disappearance of Ghostma's coven leader. This was a great read for Halloween, and I couldn't put it down.

A great short story in the Mitzy Moon series.
It falls in between book 1 and 2.
Mitzy has to have a trip away from home due to work at the being carried out at the book shop.
Absolutely love her interactions with Sheriff too hot to handle.

Nice going back

I enjoy reading this series. But this novella took me back to the first couple of books in this series. I got to fall for this series all over again.

A nice quick read

The author has created an interesting and special plot to go with an imaginative group of characters making this hard to put down

I received a copy of this book from the author and though not required to post a review, I wanted to offer my honest, voluntary impression upon finishing it.

This book was part of a two book set released earlier but now is being rereleased separately.

Mitzy and Pyewacket are sent to Twiggy’s cabin on an island while the bookstore is being cleaned and while there find a box under the floorboards but it’s empty. Bringing it back her Ghost Grams confirms what the box is and what should have been inside as the box instead of a map because it belongs to the former high priestess of her coven before she disappeared. However, in the moonlight strange markings appear on the map and when Mitzy uncovers the remains of a body, Silas is asked to help in this quest which includes a ghost who has been imprisoned in a box besides the body she found earlier.

Now to appease the spirit seeking answers to who killed her, Mitzy and Silas investigate and later receive additional information from another source which could change their direction of the investigation completely.

I enjoyed this Halloween tale of a trapped spirit but why it was trapped is the mystery! I heartily recommend this book and its other Halloween story, Ghosts and Bad Toasts as books I think you’ll enjoy especially if you’ve loved the Mitzy Moon series as I have. You can add these two to your collection!

If you haven’t read that series, get these two books and see if you aren’t intrigued by Mitzy, Ghost Grams, Pyewacket, Silas and yes the hot sheriff Mitzy dreams about wanting him to be her boyfriend to make you read that series!

I can assure you that you’ll enjoy the experience!

Binge-worthy❣️

Almost enjoyable

So TRAGIC that most modern authors have such a Very Limited Vocabulary! They - for some unknown reason - abuse words that belong only to GOD viz. HOLY, JESUS, GOD, CHRIST. In this context, they also use horrific oxymorons. This is blasphemy and Will be severely punished in due course. Believe it!

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this short story in a limited Halloween anthology. I was already in love with the series. I read it again when the author presented it in this form. It made me realize how much the characters have grown since book 1 through the latest book "Bridesmaids and Blades" which is book 19. WOW!

Misty goes out to Twiggy’s cabin and finds a box under the floorboards. It’s an old box that belonged to an old witch who disappeared. Inside is a map which leads to some skeletal remains. Will Mistzy solve the case. Very cute short story

I felt like I was in the middle of a series.

[RaChelle Holmberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Received as a gift from the authors newsletter, this fun story was set early in the Mitzi Moon series, and was very fun to read. Now i want a Caracal. But maybe i dont :-)

[aem · Rating 3 out of 5]

cute, but perhaps overuse of dated vernacular

[Chili Diane Evance · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved being introduced to Mitzi Moon. Psychic extraordinaire. With her Ghost-ma and the other characters now in her life I expect the future stories will be a revelation.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Enjoyed reading this short story. Read this author many years ago and found that I enjoy her more now than I did back then. Recommend reading. Loved the twist at the ending.

[Karin Tillotson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who killed her??? She can't leave until they find the murderer??? I enjoyed the story and recommended the book.

[Liza · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a short book.

Mitzi Moon finds some possessions of a missing coven leader. She needs to solve the mystery but ensure it makes sense for the non-paranormals.

[Sylvie · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been a while since I read a book in this series and I wonder why I waited this long to read another one. It's amazing!
