A cute and cozy mystery that doesn't hide it's twists very well but leaves you feeling warm and cozy inside.
The world and characters felt like they could use some more work shopping prior to hitting the page, and there were a few errors in the book itself that left me confused. However for a book to sit down with a good cup of tea, something they drink often, on a rainy day, all the days in the book, you could do worse.
I may pick up the second when by TBR is done, but am not in a rush to-do so.

I really enjoyed this book about a witch coming back to her powers. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Gah! I could barely read the first couple chps of this "woke" shit. Why does everyone need to be bi or gender fluid to be interesting now? The writing is over done, telling me EVERY SINGLE STUPID THING is not necessary! 2 paragraphs on how she makes tea incorrectly, who tf adds cream 1st?! DNF

Sarah is a witch in the small town of Seashell Cove. She hasn't accessed her full powers, but when some local faeries and other spirits of the town go missing, Sarah is first on the scene. With a band of friends, both magical and non-magical, they dive into the mystery of who... or what... is stealing away the spirits.
This book wasn't bad. I enjoyed the author's style and the descriptions but overall I felt just... meh... The ending felt anticlimactic and I wasn't quite sure of Sarah's powers. I believe the author was trying to convey that she had a mental block from the death of her father where she was no longer able (or wanting) to access her abelites, but it didn't really come across like that. As a character, Sarah fell very felt flat.
This was not a bad read, but I doubt that I will read more of the storyline. 3 out of 5 stars, mostly for the intriguing magic system that I wish was explained a bit more. (09/2023)
