De: April Fernsby

Brimstone - a town where supernatural beings live - and where crime is on the increase.

Just like her gran, Cassia Winter is a witch. The Winter witches are responsible for investigating crimes in Brimstone. The only problem is, Cassia doesn't know she's a witch yet.

Wonderful Witch Mystery

Murder of a Werewolf is a fantastic first in series. The story is fast paced with in depth characters that will captivate you from the start. The narration is also on point. I look forward to more in this series.

Cozy Mystery Meets Guardian Witches

Well written and well read. Gran and Cassia are warm, charming characters you can't help but love. The murder mystery is complex enough to keep you interested and the magical village and it's supernatural inhabitants are interesting and believable.
I would recommend this book as a great afternoon's entertainment for anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries with a paranormal flair.

Murder of a werewolf

Fun , cozy mystery of the paranormal kind

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

As an avid reader/listener of audiobooks , I have to say I really enjoyed this fun quick read. The world that Ms Fernsby writes about sounds absolutely magical! All of the characters were interesting and well developed. And our MC, Cassia, is a sweet young lady that we can all cheer on. This story had many different stories going on within the book.. Cassia finding herself - deciding on a career, looking closer at her romantic relationships ; Grandma exposing the family secrets ; and so much more. Some parts were a bit irritating, like the boyfriend .. but each story must have it's villains. I just somehow doubt a girl as cool as Cassia would put up with him as much as she did.
So, I definitely recommend this story to those cozy mystery lovers. As far as the true criminal fans, I would say look elsewhere... this is probably not your cup of tea ;)

good listen

nice listen and pretty good story. wish it was longer and looking forward to the next. I was given a free preview copy of this audiobook and I am leaving a voluntary review.

A Good Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. I found this quirky tale of witches very enjoyable. It had all the fundamentals to make a good mystery, throw in untrained witch and very unique charaters, you have a good mystery with lots of twists. It made my trip go so much faster and I'll be checking out more books from this series.

Good cozy mystery.

Cassia WInters is a witch, but she has suppressed that side of herself since she was young. Cassia's Gran investigates crimes in Brimstone, but when a tragedy occurs, Cassie is called into investigate. Cassie doesn't believe her gran when she tells her she's a witch, but upon entering Brimstone, her memory comes back bit by bit.

This was really good. There were a few plot holes but nothing that took away from the overall feeling of the book. The plot was relatively fast paced and entertaining. Cassia has blocked all the magic out of her memory, which I didn't really understand how she could have! But things start coming together and you see bits and pieces of her life. I loved the idea of Brimstone, and how you get there, I loved learning about the other magical creatures too. I also adored the cats!!! The cat visiting the funerals!!! Lol.

In all, a fun and engaging read. It's a good start to the series and makes me want to listen to more. I enjoyed all the characters and can't wait to see more of them.

Kitt Sullivan did a good job. She was easy to listen to and clear. I felt like she needed a few different tones for the male characters though. I also wanted a little more inflection and excitement from her performance.

I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

A Fairly Solid 3

So this one was fairly short, which can be thought of as a positive and as a negative. I'll start with the positives (and probably end that way too). Definitely a quick read in that the story when it finally started to matter went about fairly quickly. The protagonist didn't spend millions of pages learning how to light a candle with magical words, which is a great thing and there wasn't a bunch of filler as it pertains to plot development. (Most) Everything that occurred in the span of this book was directly related to advancing the plot in some form of fashion. The length of the book also lends to fairly quick character development. In order for anyone to feel anything about the characters, they needed to be immediately repulsive or immediately good. I can only say that really one character in the book swayed me one way or the other and that was the boyfriend. Everyone else was kind of "hohum" and if they died any time in the novel I wouldn't care. Which I think is a downfall for shorter books, but sometimes you sacrifice having memorable cast of characters when you go for the quick plot. Good thing about this little book is that I THOUGHT I had the mystery figured out and there would be a huge blowout of badassery at the end. What with the protagonist coming into her power throughout the book. I literally thought things were going to go down. I was wrong. Which was great. While I do love bone breaker displays of magic, I love it when books don't go the way I have them mapped out. Not to say that the final conflict came out of left field and there is a deus ex machina moment, but it was plausible path that didn't immediately occur to me. Once the story got to the point, it was actually okay. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this review voluntarily.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book! Cozy mysteries have quickly become a favorite of mine and this one was really good. Looking forward to more from this author and series!

Fresh New Paranormal Mystery!

When I first saw this on Audible, I added it to my Wish List. I was honored to be rewarded with a promotional copy and this review is freely given with my praise and depth of gratitude because it surpassed my expectations.

The characters were a warm bunch. The main character was innocent and grew. Her grandmother was cranky and funny and at times, a half-cracked nut. The plot was wonderful and truly a refreshing take on the paranormal creatures. No stereotypical eye rolls or sighing, here we go again in this piece of art!
Although the MC "discovers" she's a witch (I'm almost sick of this played out angle in books!), she comes into her powers and the climax isn't the way-out-in-left field, too incredible and unrealistic. It was subtle and fitting.
The narrator was perfect for the whimsical vocabulary and descriptive phrases. I fell in love with the writing and immersed in Brimstone.
The last scene (the guest at the door) could have been cut. *That* was a bit over the top.
This is a top-notch audiobook from a skilled author and narrator. It's an outstanding first-in-the-series stand alone book - another glowing star, as far as I'm concerned.
I'd completely recommend this book, as it's in a class of its own, standing high above the others in this genre.
