I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Ghosts, magic, cats who can disappear and reappear at will, a killer, a mystery, and just a tiny touch of romance. This second book is just as engrossing as the first book. From the first pages it sucked me in and I didn't want to put it down until I had finished.
I really liked Grandma B.B. I hope we get to see more of her in the series. She was fun, and had no problems using her magic to find out what secrets people were hiding. Alistair is still one of my favorite characters. Always in the right place at the right time, and his appearances with Miss Boots were cute too. I want to know what happened when Annabelle gave Alistair catnip. From the passing mention, it sounds like it was hilarious!
I liked how Annabelle found the secret tunnel, and the ghostly interactions were done well without it being over the top. I also liked how the answer to where the other end of the tunnel was found. I had no idea who the killer was until towards the end of the book. And even then, I wasn't entirely sure as it could have been a few different people.
I like how each witch in the coven has a different specialty. And am curious to see if Val's baby inherits any magic, though of course it's way too early to know that! I'm also curious about why only Annabelle and Julia have familiars.
If you're looking for a good paranormal cozy, you need to try this series!
