Summary:
I’m a witch with a problem. Okay, make that lots of problems.
Following a slight misunderstanding with magical law enforcement, I wind up expelled from the hidden supernatural community known as the Seattle Haven. My parole office dumps me in a tiny beach town with nothing but my collection of worldly possessions and a warning that this is my last shot.
I don’t think I’m cut out for the human world, but when stuck between a prison cell and a haunted halfway house, I suppose I’ll take option B.
Things start out better than expected, I even manage to make a few friends, but when my boss at the local coffee house is found dead in an alley, I get tangled up in the investigation, and might have to blow my cover to prove my friend’s innocence.
Add to that a fussy ghost landlady, warring vampire and shifter roommates, and my rapidly dwindling savings, and I’m beginning to wonder if I might have been better off serving that prison sentence after all.
It’s too late now. I’m in the thick of it and come hex or high water, I’ll get to the bottom of this murder, even if it means permanent banishment from the magical world.
Review:
Been meaning to read more by this author, especially since I finished a different series. I picked up this one. I believe the two are in the same world. I could be wrong. My poor brain can't remember anything lately.
Here we follow Holly, who has landed in this small town. This is her last chance to reform. She is determined to find happiness and be done. She likes this town and some of the people. Things seem to have found a lovely pace until her grumpy boss is found murdered and her bestie is accused. She will need to figure out the truth! On top of this murder mystery, she has to keep a snoopy PI away from her home and figure out if the flirty shifter is actually interested or playing games. Lots to do. Not a lot of time to do it.
Oh no.
Eeeek!
I'll just spit it out!
I wasn't a fan of this one. *hides*
Holly was meh.
The shifter was annoying.
I did like some of the side characters, like Cass. And some of the banter was cute.
There is a whiff of a love triangle, and I don't care for any of the angles of the triangle. Meh.
The mystery really wasn't a mystery. Either the cops in this town don't care, or they flat out suck. C'mon.
I did hold on and finished it because I had hope in my heart, but alas...the hope was let down.
Eeee. Maybe I'll try book 2 because I do like this author a lot. Sighs.
I'll give this 2 stars JUST because some of the side characters and the town. Some cute banter can be found in this tale.
