This is my favorite series. I love watching Mitzy grow. If you haven’t read any of the series, Mitzy is the main character. When we first met she was a bit jaded and bitter from being in the foster care system. You have to be tough to survive. Through an inheritance she discovers family. With each book we see her shed that thick skin and grow into a lovely person.
In this book Mitzy is really enjoying her new role as big sister. Stellen also seems to be enjoying having a sister. When Stellen’s friend Yolo invents a machine to see animal auras, Mitzy sees some sparks for Stellen and Yolo. Before she can dish out sisterly advice on love, things with the aura machine take a bad turn. It looks like things will get worse before they get better. With Valentine’s Day looming will Cupid’s arrows hit anyone?
I loved reading this so much! I am enjoying the brother/sister banter. Having a two part mystery in one book was fun. I must admit though I needed Kleenex for this one. There are some heart felt moments that touched me. I enjoyed Mitzy and Erick moving closer. I do think it’s time for Mitzy to trust in love and allow some progression in their relationship. Having it come so close I realized how much I want it.
You can read the series in any order you like. I think, after the third book, it is really more enjoyable to read them in sequence. If you enjoy mysteries with a bit of magic this will become a favorite. Make time to read this! ( )

I am always excited when a new Mitzy Moon book releases. This series is fun to read, and the characters all feel like family.

With this latest book in the series, I was eager to find out how Stellen, a new character introduced in the last book, was fitting in with the Duncan family. Mitzy is taking her duties as a “big sister” seriously. A love interest for Stellen is introduced with the addition of adorable Yolo. I love the slow advancement in the romance between Trixie and Sheriff Erick. But there is another new character introduced at the police station, Deputy Candy, that gives me the chills. Definitely not a likeable character. I am sure there will be more from him in future installments of the series.

Mitzy has a way of stumbling into mysteries. But this time Mitzy’s attempt to solve one mystery leads her to another, possibly more deadly, mystery. A woman from Ghost-ma’s past reappears and puts Silas’ skills to a test. I was on the edge of my seat throughout much of this book.

Full of wit, suspenseful, ultimately heartwarming. I am always eager for my visit to Pin Cherry Harbor. I am ready for Book 13!! Thank you to the author for the advance copy. Opinions expressed are my own. ( )
