Witch's Jewel (Kit Melbourne, #1)

by Kater Cheek

A sorcerous jewel. A mysterious uncle. Can a barista keep her magical heirloom safe from murderous crooks?

Kit Melbourne longs to quit her brother’s coffee shop to pursue her artistic dreams. And despite the temptation to sell the sought-after enchanted gem she inherited from her uncle, she promises her family to protect it at all costs. But when her brother’s tea-leaf reading predicts her imminent death, she’s terrified to discover those who want it will kill to make it theirs.

Forced to dig into her late relative’s murky past, Kit is doubly shocked when she learns the artifact’s mighty power cannot be transferred unless its caretaker is dead. But despite her command of karate and fierce vampiric allies, her attackers show no sign of giving up their relentless lethal pursuit.

Has Kit’s vow not to sell sealed her doom?

Witch’s Jewel is the first book in the engrossing Kit Melbourne urban fantasy series. If you like strong female leads, high-stakes action, and nail-biting plots, you’ll love Kater Cheek’s enthralling tale.

In the first of a trilogy, the protagonist Kit Melbourne has her tea leaves read and the following are predicted, you will be robbed, your heart will be broken and someone will try to kill you. Kit quickly learns that the priceless jewel she inherited from her late uncle the witch, allows her to see the supernatural side of Seabingen. The first half of the book was rather slow, but the second half pics up speed.
