Review: Magick & Mayhem (An Abracadabra Mystery #1) by Sharon Pape

About the Book
What’s in a murderer’s bag of tricks?

Twenty-something Kailyn Wilde has learned to embrace her unpredictable life as a descendant of small-town New Camel’s most magickal family. She just didn’t expect to inherit her mother and grandmother’s centuries-old shop, Abracadabra, so suddenly. The surprises keep coming when Kailyn goes to finalize the estate at the local attorney’s office—and stumbles over the body of her best friend Elise’s husband . . .

As a brash detective casts the blame on Elise, Kailyn summons her deepest powers to find answers and start an investigation of her own. What with running a business, perfecting ancient spells, and keeping up with an uninvited guest of fabled origins, Kailyn has her hands full. But with the help of her uncanny black cat Sashkatu and her muumuu-clad Aunt Tilly, she’s closing in on a killer—who will do anything to make sure she never tests her supernatural skills again!


My Thoughts

Magick & Mayhem was such a fun read! The discovery of a body during the first chapter had the mystery element rolling from the very beginning and had me completely hooked. There were plenty of suspects and I never guessed the culprit. (I was sure it was someone else, lol.)

The story flowed nicely and I loved the writing style. There were many funny moments and lots of great characters. Kailyn was a likable narrator. My favorite characters, though, were Aunt Tilly and Merlin - yes that Merlin.

I had an awesome time reading this story and can't wait to start book two, That Olde White Magick. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal cozy mysteries.

4.5 Stars
