A Haunting Is Brewing (Witchcraft Mystery) (Haunted Home Renovation, #6.5)

by Juliet Blackwell

In this all-new novella, New York Times bestselling author Juliet Blackwell’s popular characters from her Witchcraft Mysteries and Haunted Home Renovation Mysteries find themselves joining forces to solve a supernatural dilemma

When Mel Turner is hired to rehab an old Victorian mansion to act as the eerie setting for a Halloween bash, she’s expecting the normal challenges—old wiring, bad plumbing, maybe a ghostly specter or two. But when a young man is killed after spending the night in the house, and the mannequins in the attic start to come to life, it’s clear that this is serious paranormal activity. Maybe this time, a real witch is needed.

Recommended by a mutual friend, vintage clothes expert Lily Ivory arrives to offer her help with the mannequins. Armed with Lily’s spells and Mel’s know-how, the two women must figure out the cause of all of the ghostly commotion—before Mel’s renovation project turns into even more of a deadly haunt…

Reviews

[Baroness Book Trove]

A Haunting is Brewing by Juliet Blackwell is my introduction to Mel Turner of Ms. Blackwell's Haunted Home Renovation Mystery series. Mel Turner is pretty awesome.

Will Mel Turner figure out why the student is found dead?

Mel Turner

Mel Turner owns a construction company specializing in restoring old homes to their former glory days. She happens to see ghosts, is all, and that pretty much started after her mom died. Mel is a great person who takes things in strides while figuring out what to do in any situation. Let that be any time she's dealing with a ghost to figure out what they need to have to happen to move on. From this little introduction I have of her, Mel seems like a great character that has the potential to grow and learn about her ability to see ghosts.

The Mystery

The mystery is basically two parts. The first part is trying to figure out why Adam, the student found dead, would kill himself when he seemed to have had a great life. The second part is figuring out why in the world is the doll family of the people who owned the house moving. This is where Lily comes in. Mel has her hands full with trying to figure everything out while getting the house ready for the haunted house party on Halloween. I didn't think that it would be the person that did it. My mind was going with another friend of Adam's or one of the ghosts.

Five Stars

My rating for A Haunting is Brewing by Juliet Blackwellis five stars, and like always, I have to recommend this series. I think each of them is considered a stand-alone, which is fantastic for those who started it but never quite finished it or just grabbed a book later in the series. Ms. Blackwell is a marvelous writer who has combined many different magical systems into these series,' and it's incredible.
