Blood, Sweets and Tears

Bewitched by Chocolate Mysteries, Book 4

De: H.Y. Hanna

Narrado por: Pearl Hewitt

Magical chocolates, missing jewels, and murder....

When novice witch Caitlyn Le Fey heads to the outdoor cinema festival at a beautiful English manor, the last thing she expects is for the evening to end in murder. But when a dead man is found with fang marks in his neck and her old vampire uncle, Viktor, is arrested, Caitlyn must use all her newfound magic powers to clear his name.

Sleuthing isn't simple, however, with so many strangers arriving at her grandmother's enchanted chocolate shop: there's the secretive village tenant with creepy Goth tastes, the inscrutable new butler at Huntingdon Manor - and a charming Frenchman keen to win Caitlyn's heart. And that's before she has to master the art of making the perfect chocolate soufflé or deal with a Levitation spell gone horribly wrong! Still, at least she has the help of her naughty kitten, Nibs, not to mention all the village gossips!

Then a wild goose chase leads to an unexpected discovery and Caitlyn realizes that she's missed a clue under her nose all along. Can she solve the mystery - and maybe even discover Lord James Fitzroy's real feelings for her? Or will she succumb to a vampire's fatal bite?

AWESOME,

love when the books don't need to rely on sex and vulgar language for excitement.

the reader is fantastic and each person's voice is very distinctive.

Vampires and jewel theives

This story opens at an open air movie airing that ends abruptly when a body is found with all the indications of being murdered by a vampire. Caitlyn finds herself in a whirlwind of defending Uncle Vicktor ,looking for the identity of a jewel thief ,and getting lavish attention from a dashing Frenchman. This is an engrossing fast paced mystery! I adore this series and am excited for the next book.
Disclaimer I was given a copy of this book for free by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.

This series keeps getting better

H.Y. Hanna and Pearl Hewitt have done it again, keeping the series fresh and quite enjoyable. I look forward to the next in the series. If you’re a cozy mystery fan, you won’t want to miss this one.

Very Enjoyable

I have all six books on Kindle and audio. I enjoy reading/listening wherever I go. it's all on the palm of my hand.

Best Charming Cozy Mystery!

Blood, Sweets and Tears is my favorite book in the charming cozy mystery series, Bewitched by Chocolate. This is the fourth installment in this magical series, which revolves around Caitlyn Le Fey who lives in an attic room in her grandmothers chocolate shop in the small Cotswolds village of Tillyhenge.

In this story, we find the villagers excited about an outdoor cinema festival at Huntingdon Manor. Unfortunately, a murder occurs during the film’s showing, and the victim has puncture wounds on his neck, which sets off a vampire frenzy. Caitlin’s Uncle Viktor soon gets arrested after he is seen walking by the victim with wild raspberry juice on his face (he is a vampire fruit bat), and because Caitlin feels responsible, she begins her own investigation. Along the way, she experiences magical chocolate, missing jewels, and flirtatious banter with Lord James Fitzroy.

The impeccable Pearl Hewitt narrated the audiobook version of this story and she was fantastic. She narrates with such enthusiasm that it’s impossible not to become totally engaged in the story. I highly recommend this story and the entire series to anyone who enjoys lighthearted cozy mysteries.
