About this ebook

Three ways that Ella's life is totally messed up:

__ her new coworker is as cranky as he is attractive

__ a mischievous cat has decided she needs a familiar

__ she just found out she's a witch who can read the emotional hologram of a magical death (and isn't that a mouthful)

And oh yeah, there's five dead bodies, and no one knows how they are connected. Now she’s drawn into a madcap investigation at the casino where she's managed to snag a job. She must navigate learning her new mage abilities, a topless burlesque show, a jealous girlfriend, gamblers of all varieties, and magical chocolate cake, all while not setting herself or others on fire before the murderer makes her the next victim.

A paracozy (aka Paranormal cozy mystery)

A humorous adventure!

"Ella's new job turns out to be more than she bargained for when she finds herself immersed in a world of mages, spells, and murder. This imaginative and addictive read is sure to please fans of mystery and magic!" Kristina B., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing

This book was free, so I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be much better than I expected. It is well written, has interesting characters, & a good plot. I didn't guess the bad guy and I usually do at some point. I recommend it. Give it a try, I think you'll enjoy it.

That was pretty good, but the ending seemed a bit rushed. Also, there were several loose ends left untied. Not sure if I want the sequel. Maybe.

The mistress of mystery gas done it again. I enjoyed the book immensely. Nikkey owes me half a night, when I got lost in this book
