Amusing and entertaining murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Loved the cat!
I loved everything about it. I can’t wait to read the next two. 🌴🐈🪄🪄🔮🍪
Great start for a new series! I loved the setting and how Amelia slowly starts to understand her powers and why she needs to be in town. The humor of having an older perimenopausal main character adds to the charm of the series and makes her more relatable (at least for me). The paranormal aspect was interesting, and I am looking forward to learning more about Amelia’s gift and her new town.
