This was a cute, cozy paranormal mystery. The first book in the series. Told in Mia'a POV. It was a nice read and was easy to get into. I love the cover. It does end on a cliffhanger.

This magical cozy is low on the magic and woven into the lives of the townsfolk.
Starting a new business is hard, harder when your first event has the host murdered before it can even start. As the prime suspect, our sleuth investigates to see who is behind all the drama.
Good cast of characters, just a little magic and crime solving.

The winter-storm setting of this mystery was incredibly cozy! And I adored the strong relationships between Mia, Christina, and Grans. The romantic interest was super sweet and the awful ex got his comeuppance, so all was well on the romance front too. :)

The mystery itself was interesting, but didn't pull me in completely. I think in part it was because everything in Mia's life was going at 110%. Romance, business, threats, family issues, even the weather, it was all coming on fast, crime or no crime. The pace made it hard to get to know Mia herself, and it meant she had little time to spare for thoughts about the murder until the end. It ended up feeling a little disjointed.

Overall, to be totally honest, I might have enjoyed this more as a fun, light romance novel without the mystery! But I would still recommend it for those who like witchy and/or wintery cozies.
