Bewitching Fire
Bewitching Brews Book 1
by Sheritta Bitikofer

Krystal Hayden, a witch and co-owner of the Perfect Books and Brews coffee shop with her two best friends who are also witches, prides herself on being the steadying force amongst her friends. She always has an answer, keeps her cool, and never lets a little stress get to her. But one day, she has the pleasure of meeting the new cop in town, Devin Daniels who is a transfer from the Boston police department. He’s hot, enchanting, and they seem to be cut from the same cloth. She gives in to this feeling, thinking that a little fling wouldn’t hurt anyone. Little does she know, they’re Twin Flames. Krystal’s dark elemental magic emerges and whenever things get too hot and heavy between her and the hunky cop, the fire just isn’t in their eyes. Devin’s got his own problems when a pattern of ritualistic murders start popping up in town, targeting the supposedly sinful characters of the community. Krystal and her friends endeavor to help Devin, but how much could magic possibly do when magic might have been the catalyst for the murders?

5 out of 5 fairies

This was a great mystery/paranormal romance with a bit of darkness and spice mixed in. I loved the banter between Krystal and her friends, and how light and fun the opening of the book is. It contrasts nicely with how dark and tense things become later. I loved Devin and Krystal’s chemistry, and it was fun watching them grow closer. The complications that arise from it with her magic added an interesting layer to the romance side of the plot. The murders that start happening, and the race to discover who or what is behind them, adds a serious layer of tension and urgency to the story. The pace definitely feels like it picks up after they’ve begun, but I’d say it isn’t so slow at the start you’d lose interest. If you’re looking for a good, bit of spice paranormal romance with best friends, witches, mixed with a murder mystery, then you need to read this!

Til next time,
Lily
