Description: Quinn Callahan is having a doozy of a midlife crisis.

She's stuck in a dead end job, going nowhere, but she's been fine with it. She's 45 and divorced. Her husband left her for her best friend—so cliche! But it was all good—until Quinn, a practicing witch, broke a major rule, and found her boring existence turned upside down. Suddenly, she finds herself thousands miles away from the bustling metropolis of Seattle and plunked down in the sleepy little hamlet of Ballydehag, Ireland, and proprietress of a charming little bookshop. Surely, there's no chance for a middle aged witch to get into any trouble here....right? Uh......

My Thoughts: After misusing her magic to try to save the life of her cancer-stricken ex-husband, Quinn Callahan is sent from Seattle to a small village in Ireland to make a new start. She's taking over the house and bookstore of another witch who also needed to be moved.

Enchanted with her new home, Quinn is eager to make a new start. However, she doesn't expect to find the body of the local lothario when she first visits her new bookstore. Nor does she expect to find the local vampires holding book club meetings late at night in her club space. 

And when she keeps finding clues to the reason for Declan O'Connor's death pushed under her door or hidden in her book stacks, she calls on her new vampire friends and some of the locals to help her solve the murder. 

This was a cute cozy mystery with a nice touch of the paranormal. The main character is engaging. This book also begins a series. 

Favorite Quote:

"Miss Marple?" I sat up straight, feeling quite offended. "Miss Marple is an eighty-year-old spinster."

He clamped down a smile at my outburst. "I merely meant you're a female amateur sleuth in a small village. No other comparison."
