Another good read in the series, though this does occur before Zara moves to town. The only thing I didn’t like was that it skimmed a lot of Zinnia’s backstory. We’re teased with hints, but there’s no real info and no indication that we’ll get more in the next book.

I was a little confused about this one until I realized it was a prequel to the rest of the Wisteria Witches series. This one follows Aunt Zinnia shortly before Zara moved to town. It honestly never occurred to me that Zinnia should have her own books, but now that they are here, I'm glad they are. Zinnia is an interesting character who's story has barely been touched in the main series, and this is a good start to getting her story out there. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

I started this not realising that while it’s the first book in its sequence, it’s part of a larger series so I found parts of it quite disjointed as clearly the characters had more backstory than I was privy to. Parts of this book were quite funny, I enjoyed a scene early on where Zinnia is almost smothered by her bed when she accidentally inverts a spell that was meant to help her get out of bed but overall the plot meandered and was quite disjointed.

I really love this story, the way it goes back and forth, giving us the information we need about all Zinnia's coworkers without lessening the intrigue. When I previously listen to 'Wisteria Witches', Wisteria seemed like a nice, old-fashioned town, but now we discover that there is a lot going on around here.

The mystery was fantastic, and I seriously couldn't discover who was the killer until it was unveiled by Zinnia.

But what I loved the most was getting not only Zinnia's POV on her niece's arriving at Wisteria, but also the tip of the iceberg in the mystery surrounding Zara.

And the narration was superb, too. A fantastic story that would be a shame to miss.

It was cool to read something from Zinnias perspective.
It gave some more background to her character and I am curios to see how all these characters end up getting to know each other.
