Welcome to Coventry
Kinsley Skeenbauer never thought she would go home. At seventeen, she’d left Coventry and didn’t look back. But after a messy divorce, she packed up her stuff and drove toward the only place that she knew would accept her.
Life hadn’t been easy for Kinsley since she left town. Despite wanting a family desperately, she was childless. She had a college degree but had just been fired… again…
She’d spent her entire adult life rebelling against what she was, and that meant hiding her true self from the world. Kinsley left Coventry on a mission to be ordinary.
But you know what they say about the best-laid plans…
Coventry isn’t your typical small town. It’s home to the most powerful family of witches in the world. Two ancient witch families united when her parents married, and she was supposed to be their leader.
Nobody ever asked Kinsley if that’s what she wanted, though. Funny how the universe worked because there she was divorced, childless, and jobless… again… rolling into Coventry in her broken-down car with a U-Haul full of everything she owned.
The joyous welcome home party was short-lived, because a dead guy turned up, of all places, behind the diner.
Of course, the town’s hunky sheriff starts to give Kinsley the side-eye. But, a lot of people wanted the victim dead, and that only complicates the investigation.
There’s a murderer on the loose in Coventry, and Kinsley’s got to learn to harness her powers to avoid the killer’s snare.
Oh! And, then there’s Meri, the black cat familiar. Someone decides to grant him one wish for his faithful service to his coven, and it doesn’t go as planned either…
Welcome back to Coventry. The events in this story take place thirteen years after Kinsley left Coventry. It can be fully enjoyed on its own and is suitable for all ages. You’ll find no swearing, gore, or adult situations, but you will find magic, mystery, and a hint of lighthearted mayhem.

A Halloween read of mine four years ago (it‘s still in my Kindle library) that was not terribly well written. But the cover is cute and it has a #skull! #wickedwhispers @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Mehso-so

Not a bad cozy. The magic system wasn‘t well explained and seemed to be created as the plot needed it to be. The mystery was solved all at the last minute a bit too easily. Honestly, it might be a halfway decent book had it been fleshed out some more. But overall a fun okay witch-themed cozy.

Book 19 for #screamathon and #scarathlon

Book 9 for #outstandingOctober

Andrew65 Fantastic 👏👏👏 4y
BethM Love the review- I‘ll skip this one 😂 4y
LibrarianRyan Glad I didn‘t buy this. The cover and title caught my attention. 4y

wanderinglynn @BethM @LibrarianRyan it wasn‘t that bad. Of course, I didn‘t have high expectations either. It has promise. I plan on reading the next one. 4y
KristiDusk I thought about reading it but good to know it is just so-so. 4y
wanderinglynn @KristabellaBooks it wasn‘t bad, it just wasn‘t well-developed. It‘s a quick read. 4y

Mehso-so

Elementary writing made this just a so-so read. The main character left town years ago hating magic, vowing never to use it again. Rather than developing that story line, it‘s abandoned when she returns to town and buys into it hook, line, and sinker. Zero character development thruout and the mystery is cut and dried and bleh. Even the cat, which lured me into the book, has a bleh personality. Kinda cute, but in all honesty, just skip this one.

rubyslippersreads At least the cover is cute. 😻 4y
Texreader @rubyslippersreads It was a sneaky cover. It lured me in. 🤣 4y

This is supposed to be a cozy read, so I assume this sort of nonsense is necessary:

“I lied, but I was not going to tell him my real thoughts. I was thinking about how your biceps are so spectacular that they made me believe in love again.”

Texreader @Mrs_B @GingerAntics @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I‘m 50% sure this was tongue in cheek but the other shoe never fell (ooops, mixed metaphors). Anyway I‘m also surprised I didn‘t get more responses. I hope I didn‘t offend any cozy readers out there. But this one did top the 🧀 charts!! 🤣🤣🤣 4y
GingerAntics It is pretty cheesy. 🤣😂🤣 This level of cheese is usually really funny though. Maybe people were just scrolling and clicking. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4y
BethM Haha I love cozies but agree that is extra 🧀- I don‘t think it‘s indicative of the genre. 4y
Texreader @BethM I agree. I‘ve been reading some really good ones more recently. This one was just really bad 4y

I'm anxious for lighter reading given the very dark and heavy reading I've been doing, so I picked this cozy mystery (pick 95% based on the cover).

Bette Great cover. ❤️ 4y
Texreader @Bette Books and a black kitten = perfection! 4y
KarouBlue I would read that cover as well! 4y
