I finished reading it with only 10 minutes left in my shift and I regret nothing!" - * * * * * rating"I accidentally found this book in on Amazon when I couldn't sleep. I am now in love with another author. The book was funny and so sassy. I love that it shows a strong southern woman. I highly recommend." - * * * * * rating"A refreshing new series about witches, or at least one witch and witchcraft, that is unlike the many that are already out there. It isn't about a young woman who suddenly came into her powers. In fact, [...there's] nothing young about Birdie Devine, who is 133. When Birdie is almost caught up in a witch hunt in Las Vegas, she returns to the small Mississippi town she lived in over a century ago. For the first time she has friends, a house (work in progress), and hope for the future. A murder in her backyard changes everything. And when her friends are in danger, she uses her magic, exposing herself." - * * * * * rating"This is a different take on the witch cozy mystery and I liked it. I can't say too much about things, because I want you to be surprised. The mystery was really believable. The characters were very likable as well. Don't miss this one!" - * * * * * ratingAvailable to buy or read for free with Kindle Unlimited. Come for the southern comfort, stay for the magic! less
