Review of WITCH WAY TO MURDER & MAYHEM

WITCH WAY TO

MURDER & MAYHEM

 

JANE HINCHEY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Harper Jones has lost her witches' license and has to return to her hometown to live with her Gran. By circumstances, she buys The Dusty Attic Bookstore, which has a dead body on the first day.

This murder starts the mayhem that includes shifters, ghosts, and other paranormal events. A gorgeous detective investigates the crime while at the same time, Harper sleuths her way into events surrounding it. 

They collide, then come together, discovering an intriguing plot that festered years ago by one of the local shifters. The ending is a surprise to them and even the reader of this fun book.

'WITCH WAY' is book one in a series that hooks the reader with all the correct elements: good writing, well-defined characters, and a colorful open-ended backdrop.

Review of THE GENIE ACADEMY

THE GENIE ACADEMY

 

KARIN DE HAVIN

 

Review by Roy Murry

 

An interesting concept put into a novel - a genie college? Edmund's family wants him to be a lawyer.

Their big mistake was hiring a Jin as a tutor, or does the genie pick the family? Whichever, Edmund is in for a life-changing adventure.

What happens in the academy stays in the academy. Edmund learns this and much more.

This fun book keeps the reader laughing about the trials and errors of a young man going to school. He gets in trouble with the headmaster, falls in love, and is taunted by his Genie/Tudor and classmates.

The novel is well constructed for a first in a series for young adults.

Review of KING OF HEARTS

KING OF HEARTS

 

L. H. Cosway

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

I found this story a little overwhelming depressing. Oliver King's life is the center of this romance. Alexis' story is secondary, but she is the glue that brings the relationship together.

King hires Alexis as his assistant because he finds her beautiful and intelligent. Alexis finds the financial world she has entered, where King is King, but he has his demons that are not on the surface.

Their hearts come together on all levels, except he does not explain his hatred for his father. But, when this conflict comes to a head in Part I, "Before," King lets another demon take over their lives.

In Part II, "After," Alexis is the rock that a family foundation is built. King is in a dark cycle where only Alexis's love, friends, and music can bring him back to life.

Coming out of the dark is more challenging than going into it. But, with Alexis's love for King, they will survive. The end is delightful.

L. H. Cosway's writing is crisp and deeply consuming, bringing her characters into a web of love and conflicts a reader will enjoy and may cry a bit.

Review of Witchy Reservations

 

WITCHY RESERVATIONS

A Mystic Inn Mystery

 

STEPHANIE DAMORE

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

Angelica, who works in a big city hotel, has a witchy background. Her aunt tricks her back to her roots at Mystic Inn in a town full of witches.

When Angie arrives home, life is not what she expected. Aunt Thelma is alive; the Inn is in disarray; within a few days, her aunt kills by using a wand, or does she?

Yes, this storyline is funny but severe to the witches involved. Auntie is arrested, and Angie becomes a witchy sleuth. She turns the town upside down, upsetting many witches with a hilarious twist.

This first book, in a series, has all the ingredients - characters, location, and wide-open areas to develop new mysteries.

Therefore, I recommend buying this series if you like fun with witches.
