Synopsis

Unlucky-in-love artist Annabelle Britton decides that a visit to the seaside town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is the perfect way to get over her problems. But when she stumbles upon a smoky gray cat named Alastair, and follows him into a charming cottage, Annabelle finds herself in a whole spellbook full of trouble.

Suddenly saddled with a witch's wand and a furry familiar, Annabelle soon meets a friendly group of women who use their spells, charms, and potions to keep the people of Portsmouth safe. But despite their gifts, the witches can't prevent every wicked deed in town . . .

Soon, the mystery surrounding Alistair's former owner, who died under unusual circumstances, grows when another local turns up dead. Armed with magic, friends, and the charmed cat who adopted her more than the other way around, Annabelle sets out to paw through the evidence and uncover a killer.

What a fun book! I needed something light, and this gem was exactly what I needed. Of course, having devoured it in about 36 hours, I want the next book, and the next, and the next...wait a minute.

Goodreads review by Yvonne on December 18, 2016

I love the kitty Alistair! I thought I should just get that out of the way right away. He is Annabelle’s familiar and the real hero of the book. I just thought that was important to say right at the beginning. This is an interesting take on the paranormal aspect of the cozy mystery. I have to admit,......more
