I’m enjoying the series so far, I think that Nicole St. Claire has done a great job at bringing this series together, I know that this is only the second book, but it’s starting to look a little more promising than the first book. I know that this series has a long way to go and I’m excited on seeing where Nicole plans to take it. I thought this book was an interesting one, I couldn’t exactly figure out how I felt about it, but I did find a few things that still unsettled me a little, for example I know that the kitchen at the Inn ends up being closed and whilst the girls cleared it up they still couldn’t use it, they never got the full clear from the sheriff’s department that the kitchen could be used to cook in again, yet when Tamsyn’s Aunt came back from the cruise early she was cooking in there…. For me this didn’t make much sense, I know that in some ways this is a small detail, but at the same time it’s a major factor because of the kitchen being closed off as it’s technically part of the investigation of the author who dies at the Inn… It would have been nice to have had some clarity to it all.
Another thing that unsettled me was that again, I still found that whilst I was reading through that I would lose concentration because in some scenes there was way too much information when at times it just wasn’t needed.
A few things that stood out to me that I did like was that I could see Tamsyn was growing as a person and the fact she confined in her coven about the fact she’s not a Kitchen Witch like her Aunt thinks she is, I thought that was a brave move on her part. The fact that she’s got her coven beside her and are willing to hear her out, I love that. Yes, she might still be new to the area even though it’s been years since she lived on it, but the fact she has people to turn to when it comes to her being a witch it’s a great thing.
I also loved that once her Aunt came back, Tamsyn finally confined in her, I know it was a matter of the fact she couldn’t hide anything anymore but at the same time it’s not like she tried when her Aunt was away. But I’m hoping now that she’ll keep talking to her Aunt and actually ask for help when she needs it.
I do think the plot was good and the characters were likeable, the writing is pretty good too. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next with Tamsyn and everyone on the island.
Tamsyn is being left in charge of the Inn for three weeks as her Aunt is going on a cruise with the rest of her coven. Tamsyn is scared that she may do something that will harm the Inn, but she is still going to do her best to look after the Inn. When she receives a call about hosting a big afternoon tea which is part of the islands big literacy festival, she starts panicking as she’s not exactly known for her cooking skills…. But not wanting to let anyone down, she agrees and as she’s not messed any magic up in a few weeks, she’s eager to succeed in the task. However, things end up going down hill when special guest who goes to do a speech at the tea party ends up dying on the spot it looks like Tamsyn is in trouble and the kitchen to the Inn is shut down? Will Tamsyn be responsible for his death or will she find out there was someone else who was responsible?
