cute
Cute prequel, fast read. The psychic part was almost negligible and there wasn’t really a mystery to solve. Overall it was more family drama

Finding peace of mind
This was a short but very interesting good cozy read , it was very touching at least to me.
Tansy spends time with her aunt Vivian , whom her mother doesn't want any connection with and ends up discovering she has a lot in common with her aunt. There's meditation and homemade herbs for all kinds of things . This was the first of this author that had me frm the first page I will be reading more. I would recommend to anyone.
Thank you Mirada Rose Barker

Absolutely love the characters and small touristy town in this book. The unexpected connection between Tansy and Hank was fun to watch play out. Love Tansy's Aunt. This was a great introduction to the cozy series that stopped at a cliffhanger. Definitely pulls me in. Now I need to read more to find out how the car ride went or what happened when they reached their destination or...well there's more questions but you get the gist.

I think this was a good book and I’m interested to see where it’s going
And YAY , no wailing , gushing ,screaming , crying , drooling, teen or twen as the main character !!
I enjoyed this Tansy and Hank prequel
The coverwork .......I found it so-so

Finding Peace of Mind: The Tansy & Hank Pet Psychic Mystery Prequel
I received this book as an Arc from the author and I’m writing a review because I want to. This is a magical, coming of age story. A young woman learns how to use her abilities to possibly heal herself. She grows close to her aunt whose at odds with her mother. Highly recommended!

Where is the peace of mind?
I thought prequels were supposed to be enticing, I did not get that from this one. I felt as if I was thrown little bits and pieces of different stories and all these little bits failed to satisfy. I liked the characters, Tansy, Aunt Vivian, Millie and the mother seems to be in a category of her own.

Cute and short book about a college student who has been estranged from her aunt by her mother. After an accident, Tansy decides to visit her Aunt Vivian. Tansy finds out that she and her Aunt Vivian are alike in many ways. When Tansy visits her aunt for the summer, she works in her herb shop and learns about herself in ways she never thought possible.

I think this was a good book and I’m interested to see where it’s going. The reason I gave a 4 star is because I do feel like it’s a little rush, maybe because it’s the prequel, but otherwise I think it’s cool.

Tansy is injured in a car wreck. Rather than spend time with her family that doesn't understand her, she decides to spend time with her aunt. She meets Hank, the dog and learns they have an unusual connection. Looking forward to more stories about these two.

Meh
This felt like it was a bit of a good attempt from a first time author. it felt disjointed and ran from one thing to another very quickly. I look forward to seeing more and hopefully the next will be better.

Ok
Some of the facts not right. When I read books I like when the authors remember what they write in the first to the last book in the series. Ms. Baker did not do that. The books are good for a quick read since they are short stories

Excellent Read
Well written and keeps the reader wanting more. Tansy and Hank, the French bulldog, can have a conversation which Aunt Vivian knew would happen. I highly recommend this book.

This was a cute cozy read. Love the fast pace and twists. I wish it could have been longer and hated to see it end. Would have like to see more of relationship between niece and aunt. But I still enjoyed it.

This well-written prequel is short, concisely introducing the characters and setting the scene. Although the actual mystery itself is very brief, these pages tell one thing that is true - the coziest thing of all is finding acceptance.

Liked It
A quick easy read with a nice set up for the things to come.
As a prequel, it works. I'll grab the next book for the times I want a quick escape that doesn't require hours and days of commitment.

Why are the 11 books not available?
This is ridiculous. There are 11 books in the series but they are not available. If they are not available then don't even list them.

Great short story
I enjoyed this Tansy and Hank prequel - it moves fast but you still get a feel for the characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Sweet, gentle storey.
An interesting book, good characterization. Lays the groundwork for the series. Some interesting ideas here. I think I'll have to get the next book.

A nice quick read
The author has created a masterful lead in for a potential long-term plot to go with an interesting group of characters

Entertaining
This is the story of self-discovery and finding one's purpose. It accents looking for the positive and accepting the unexplainable.

A go along for the ride book.
There doesn't seem to be any ups or downs. It's just a mellow feel good book without a lot of emotion.

A fast read. It was interesting, but I haven't decided if I want to read the next one in the series or not.

I felt like the writer just stopped writing. The story was rather jumbled with large gaps in the story timeline. There was no ending or closure to the book. It just ended.
