You won’t want to miss this crossover tale of two of your favorite cozy mystery sleuths, June Heal from the Magical Cures Mystery Series and Roxanne Bloom from the Killer Coffee Series.
When Roxy Bloom and Patrick Cane got a gift card at the Full Moon Treesort in Whispering Falls, Kentucky, they figured it’d be a fantastic honeymoon.
When June Heal heard from the Whispering Falls Newspaper report from editor Faith Mortimer that there was a nosy coffee barista coming to town and she needed an eye kept on her, June was quick to put Mr. Prince Charming on the tourist, Roxanne Bloom.
When a dead body is discovered during the annual Whispering Fall tree lightening, Roxy Bloom just can’t seem to keep her nose out of it, even though she feels like something strange is going on in the cozy town.
June Heal is using powers, she never thought she’d use, to keep tourist Roxy Bloom away from the crime scene.
Will the two feisty sleuths come together to solve this murder before Roxy’s honeymoon is over or before June Heal uses all of her powers to keep Roxy away from their secrets of Whispering Falls?
Can Roxy and June put their differences aside to solve this mystery?
A Charming Blend by Tonya Kappes is an excellent crossover between Magical Cures Mystery and A Killer Coffee Mystery Series. I love the way that June Heal and Roxy Bloom are trying to solve the mystery while trying to hide it from the other. Too bad they didn’t meet under different circumstances, I think June and Roxy would make great friends. Even with one being magical and the other not.
What I like:
- The way Ms. Kappes handled the chapters with one being with Roxy and the next with June.
- I love the way that Roxy is just not taking it June’s way and is confused about a lot of things that are happening.
- The dynamic between Roxy and June once they met is something that is so humorous. June is trying to keep her occupied to stay away from all things magical.
- The way that neither of the girls, like always, listen to their love interests about staying out of police business.
- It was a cute little mystery around Christmas time.
What I don’t like:
I didn’t like that it was so short. I know it’s a novella, so it is supposed to be short, but it was a great little read. Another thing that I didn’t like was that Roxy and June couldn’t see eye to eye on how to go about solving this mystery. They are both so stubborn and curious.
Five Star
A Charming Blend by Tonya Kappes was a fabulous book and a quick little read. I can’t wait to go back and read the other Magical Cures and A Killer Coffee books to get myself caught up. I am giving this book a five-star rating as it was a perfect read.
