Now she must prove her innocence and find the real culprit before it's too late - not just for her but for all of Moss Hill.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
This is the most magically adorable cozy mystery that I have read in awhile. We meet Carissa a half fae half human who runs an apothecary with her faithful assistant. This is where it gets fun though as Carissa mostly stays in the Other realm while the assistant stays in the human world. The dual layers make for an intriguing twist and when you add in lots of different types of characters from deep in the fae world you learn to expect the unexpected. The murder was just the cherry on top of the cake. If fae, magic, and mystery is your thing then you really have to read this one. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
