Praise for Mystic Pieces:

"Mystic Pieces is a charming, humorous, and original mystery that weaves a tale of murder and self-discovery with heart, family, and psychic visions." - Reader's Favorite


"This was a solid start to this paranormal cozy mystery series. I had fun reading this one. I liked the inclusion of Aly's psychic powers and how she tried to use them to help solve the mystery. It made sense how she got involved and how she went about figuring out who had done it. And I liked how natural and realistic instead forced some of the coincidences felt. The mystery kept me guessing, although the murderer wasn't too big of a surprise there were some nice twists along the way and I was never quite sure who the murderer was. I liked Aly as a main character and reading about her and her powers. I liked the side characters and how each had their own personality that made it easy to remember. All in all I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series!" - Lola's Book Reviews

 

"A cute and cozy introduction to the quirky and devoted characters, Mystic Pieces is the perfect first installment to the Shady Grove Psychic Mystery Series." - Literary Lioness

Aly is in town helping her brother Kevin with his three year old Kyle, a relocation away from the city to a small town after the death of his wife Now a small town lawyer, her brother seems to be having trouble dealing with the death- no pictures to be seen . He doesn’t respond well to Aly questioning him about the failure to have photos around for Kyle As a child whose father died when I was young, I can say that the photos and stories helped keep my Dad alive in my memory and they were memories I could share with his older kids from his first wife. The fun and the sad, the memories were a bridge to adult kids that thry held onto when parenting, that helped me yo reach out when my mom was far away Aly is a scientist who discovers she has visions. She may not believe in or trust them yet, but her friends Olive and Rusty seem to be likely to help her cope - it really is nice to have adult friends sometimes A promising start to an intriguing series I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have no idea why I liked this book so much, while similar books fell flat. Usually I prefer stories with more paranormal activity, but this was strangely satisfying.

Mystic Pieces is the first book in A Shady Grove Psychic Mystery series and is a fabulous start to this series. I loved this book. The characters are well depicted, quirky, and likable. The storyline is well written and flows smoothly from start to finish with psychic powers, murder, mystery, and suspense. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Ada Bell knew you'd be reading this. Okay, well, she knew someone would be. (Hi, Mom!) That's pretty much the extent of her psychic powers. A life-long mystery buff, Ada has devoured everything from Murder, She Wrote to Nancy Drew to Psych!, so she was pretty much destined to end up here. Ada loves Scooby Doo, superhero movies, STEM heroines, and cake. Mmm, cake.
