In the Company of Witches
In the Company of Witches | Auralee Wallace

When a guest dies in the B&B she helps her aunts run, a young witch must rely on some good old-fashioned investigating to clear her aunt's name in this magical and charming new cozy mystery. For four hundred years, the Warren witches have used their magic to quietly help the citizens of the sleepy New England town of Evenfall thrive. There's never been a problem they couldn't handle. But then Constance Graves--a local known for being argumentative and demanding--dies while staying at the bed and breakfast Brynn Warren maintains with her aunts. At first, it seems like an accident...but it soon becomes clear that there's something more sinister at work, and Aunt Nora is shaping up to be the prime suspect. There's nothing Brynn wants more than to prove Nora's innocence, and it hurts her to know that even two years ago that might have been easier. Brynn, after all, is a witch of the dead--a witch who can commune with ghosts. Ghosts never remember much about their deaths, but Constance might remember something about her life that would help crack the case. But Brynn hasn't used her powers since her husband died, and isn't even sure she still can. Brynn will just have to hope that her aunts' magic and her own investigative skills will lead her to answers--and maybe back to the gift she once thought herself ready to give up forever.

I am not really a cozy mystery reader, but this popped up recommended on Hoopla and looked cute. I also needed something light to break up all the dark books I‘m reading this month. This was solid! It has more depth and a bit of past trauma than is typical in cozies. I enjoyed our family of witches and some of the side characters. I don‘t know if I‘ll run out to read the sequel asap, but I may pick it at some point. 4⭐️⬇️

#20in4 #SummerEndAThon #RushAThon #SeriesLove2023

Finished last night & read for #CozyFantasyFellowship on Fable. This was a cute witchy cozy, first in the Evenfall Witches Bed & Breakfast series.The town is charming & the characters lovable. A good one to add to your #Scarathlon lists if you are looking for non-scary witchy books. I got the audiobook & the narration was good. I‘ll probably end up adding book 2 to my October audiobooks. 👻💚

Cozy, funny, sweet, charming, a twisty mystery with just enough suspects to keep it interesting instead of dizzying, small town without being narrow-minded, some exasperating characters that added spice rather than made me irritated, magical without the dizzying world building that always turn me off epic fantasy.
Unexpected emotional depth to the story was a pleasant surprise. So happy this is a series and not a standalone.

This was a bit dragged out, but overall enjoyable. I liked the characters and it was nice and light, despite some heavy topics. Interested to see where it goes!
