I have always loved a good mystery. From my early years watching Murder She Wrote to more recent shows like Monk, Psych, and my absolute favorite BBC show ever, Sherlock, I have studied what it takes to make an entertaining mystery. I am truly blessed to be able to write and share my own mysteries with you. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I loved writing them :)

    This is a great cozy mystery. If you like magic, mayhem, and mystery with a touch of romance then this book is for you. The characters are well thought out and realistic. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A nice start for what sounds like it'll be a fun series!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019

    This was a fun entry into a brand-new series that I started reading last night. It's a quick and clean read, and it has all those great witchy elements like spells, creatures and things like that, but it's definitely not scary in case anyone worries about that. Since it was the first book, and Ruby, who is the new PI and witch was trying to locate the killer of a fellow witch, I wasn't really sure who all to trust, but it was solved fairly quickly. She got to use both her PI training and her witch powers to catch the perp. Someone was suspected of being a black magic witch, someone was a killer--were they one and the same? I honestly never guessed the killer.

    From the minute I met Vicky, I liked her. She was crazy and fun, kind of ditzy when it came to spells, but it's always fun to read about a slightly bumbling witch. The main mystery was solved, but one little side mystery was left for the next book. I'm thinking after I saw the title of the next book that this mystery will definitely be taken care of in that book.

    The book could have had a better story but it lacked depth, both in the characters and the plot. I was not impressed and probably won't ready any future books in this series.

    This spells trouble is a story how life hands you lemons and you must make the lemonade. Ruby goes about this problem in a different way as a new witch, but also as a normal. Lots of suspense lots of drama plus a new friend.

    This Spells Trouble is an easy read. Details needed to solve the case are slipped into the story. The author writes in the first person and we get to know Ruby and her friends (some of them witches) and get a peek into the world of magic.

    Finding out you are a witch is exciting, finding out you are a rubbish witch not so much, but then you find out your a good PI and that makes up for that. A short fun read, with magic murder and lots of humor well worth a look, Baz.
