A Lullaby for Witches
A Lullaby for Witches by Hester Fox My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Graydon House, for providing me with an ARC of A Lullaby for Witches in exchange for an honest review.

Witch: A Doyle Witch Cozy Mystery
Witch: A Doyle Witch Cozy Mystery by Kirsten Weiss My rating: 1 of 5 stars I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.A few months ago I read another of the author’s books called Deja Moo part of the A Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum series and it turned out it wasn’t really my cup of tea. Naturally, I was a bit hesitant reading another of the author’s stories. Sadly, my intuition wasn’t wrong. Before I continue, I have to say that this is the first book in The Witches of Doyle series I have read.The characters seemed overdrawn and even exaggerated.…

To Catch a Witch by Heather Blake My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was given this ARC by the publisher in return for an honest review.Heather Blake is back and I am beyond excited! Well, I don’t know if she ever left, but it felt like an eternity since the last Wishcraft story and I am very glad I got to read her newest book during the blistering heat in the middle of summer.I am absolutely not joking.
