This is the first in a series about Maggie, a empath but she doesn't know it until her new boss at Enchantments fills her in. Her new boss is accused of killing her sister and Maggie has to figure out who really did it to save her boss from jail.

not a bad book for the first in a series, I would be interested in reading the next one to see how it turns out.

MPB, first in series and it's a humdinger good series at that.

A promising book, ruined by the author's phrase tricks and an inner monologue that gets annoying after a while.

Wishing there had been a little more "paranormal" and "witchy" stuff in this book, but overall I think it was alright for the first book of a series. The mystery was a little easy to solve, so I'm hoping the next one will stump me a little more.

A light, fun read. It has it's funny moments, with a bit of a murder mystery and some witchcraft thrown in.

This is the definition of just alright. 
There wasn’t really enough magic for me to really like it, and the mystery wasn’t all that compelling. It was okay. It held my attention fine, but that’s about it.

A totally serviceable launch of a cozy-esque supernatural mystery series.

I thought this book might be perfect for me. Combining magic and mystery seemed right up my alley, unfortunately it was not a match made in heaven.

The premise is interesting Maggie is nearing the dreaded thirties, feels she has not done much with her life, wants out of her dead end job in collections. One morning she falls (literally) into a new job. What I wished was that there was slightly more time to develop a relationship between Felicity and Maggie. I am all about letting go of reality and believing what is going on in a book. But the instant connection was just a little much. They seem to know each other perfectly but they just met. I have a hard enough time believing this between a romantic couple than a boss/employee relationship.

I did find Marcus Quinn rather interesting. I thought her friend Steph was a bit sterotypical but perhaps she develops her more further in the series. I had the same impression with Maggie's family. I did like Ted the cop but overall I thought it was a tough read (and I don't mean that in a this is an amazing classic book tough read). I will most likely not read anymore of the series.
