jbrooxd 's review for:
Bait and Witch
by Angela M. Sanders
[I received a free electronic review copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.]
5 stars = Outstanding!
As a fantasy reader and mystery reader, I was excited to pick up this series launch for a paranormal mystery. This exceeded my expectations. The author does a fantastic job teasing out various hooks for the story - what is Josie running from? What was that strange experience she had on her flight? Why do all of her senses seem heightened in her new home? From the first page, I was frantically flipping pages to find out more.
The characters here are a treat. It can be tricky to launch a new series and establish the whole crop of characters, but I enjoyed all of the core group in this book. (The cat is especially fun.) The library setting is fantastic. The blend of fantasy elements (magic, spells, powers, changing consciousness with the cat) with the cozy mystery is perfect. I can't wait to read more in this series! (Occult elements: Tarot cards are used as a prop by a secondary, non-magical character)
