Publisher Description
Double, double toil and trouble,
A witch’s life is quite a muddle.
The Full Moon crystal shop in North Harbor, Connecticut, offers healing stones for all sorts of ailments. Unfortunately, there’s nothing among the gems that can help owner Violet Mooney learn how to wield the magick she inherited from both sides of her family—the legendary Ravenstar and Moonstone clans. As if being an apprentice witch weren’t difficult enough, Violet’s tutors are her estranged mother Fiona, a sister she never knew she had named Zoe, and a familiar in the form of a black cat, Xander.
Between learning spells, Violet is being investigated by the Magickal Council. A reporter out to debunk spiritualists was “genied”—her soul imprisoned inside a bottle—in Violet’s shop, and she can’t prove she didn’t do it. Meanwhile, her non-magickal life has become complicated when one of her crystal shop customers, Nicole St. James, goes missing and turns up dead, a victim of murder.
Determined to solve both crimes, Violet taps into powers she doesn’t understand, much less control—and finds herself conjuring up both supernatural and mortal enemies. . .
Praise for Witch Hunt
“Zippy and fun, with an otherworldly hook that’s further enhanced by characters with a little magic of their own.”

Customer Reviews
Why do women invent such despicable characters?
I could barely finish this book and by the end of it I absolutely hated Violet. She is everything wrong with the stereotypic, female character, stupid, rushing without thinking into situations, and in general, not showing an ability to think at all. If she were in her early 20s, you might have some leeway in character development,, but this woman is in her early 30s. The plot line in this book has a lot of potential, and maybe you’re intention is to create a spunky character, but it’s not working. I’m sorry to provide such a poor review but I’m just so tired of seeing women maligned.
