Chili Cauldron Curse

 This novella by Lynn Cahoon was another find in my borrow for free from Hoopla in Nov.  A see my Christmas Pudding post for more details on this.

This book features witches and spells which is not usually my style of cozy mysteries.   I actually am glad I took a shot at this as I found the characters interesting and am interested in reading more in the series.  The nice part is this was a prequel so I got to learn Mia's backstory before reading any more of the series. If you like mysteries with a bit of humor you might really enjoy this book

Chili Cauldron Curse by Lynn Cahoon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Im not usually one to pick cozies with witches as the MC but I am glad I tried this novella. I really enjoyed the characters and look forward to reading more in the series. I think it is nice to read the back story on a protagonist before actually starting the series. The mystery was well written and wrapped up quite well for a short book
