About this ebook

Can a witch who can only cast one spell solve a murder?

Maddie Goodwell, Trixie, her Persian cat (who might also be her familiar), and Maddie’s best friend Suzanne Taylor, run their coffee truck, Brewed from the Bean, in the small town of Estherville, Washington state.

Maddie always thought it was a sleepy kind of town, apart from the fact that when she was seven, she found an ancient book, Wytchcraft for the Chosen.

Now, twenty years later, she can only cast one spell successfully from the book – the Coffee Vision spell.

But when she peeks into Joan’s future – one of her regular customers – she sees the middle-aged woman lying dead in the kitchen!

When the vision comes true, Maddie is determined to investigate – with the help of Trixie, and Suzanne. Will her witchy abilities help or hinder her?

Who would want to kill Joan? Why?

And will they be coming after Maddie next?

This is a clean paranormal read with humor and fun!

This book was formerly called Lethal Latte.

Characters are so 1 dimensional, they are cardboard cutouts. Plot line is boring and as much of an animal lover as I am, I wanted to drown the cat. Also, the coffee truck should be shut down due to health violations due to having an animal on board while making food. Wannabe Enid Blyton but grade 6 storytelling instead.

7/10 stars. It was a nice short story. A bit simplistic, but otherwise entertaining. A little more meat on the bone would have been refreshing.

Good cozy reading. Loved the furry sidekick, Trixie. The writer really gave her some spunk & Cat-titude! Cant wait to see how their relationship evolves more with magic in book 2. In relation to the main characters, I wished it got a little more into the magic aspect. A hint more into her abilities, maybe show them coming into play tword the end? I'm excited to find out more in book 2!
