Fans of paranormal cozies will enjoy the sequel to Steeped to Death, where Phoebe continues to develop her newly discovered powers as a witch able to stop time. Readers of bookstore mysteries will appreciate the setting, staff, and customers.

The first “Witches’ Brew” mystery is a compelling debut with a mature amateur sleuth, a solid supporting cast, and a cat to rival Miranda James’s Diesel. For readers who enjoy the paranormal elements in Juliet Blackwell’s and Bree Baker’s cozies.
