A curse stole one witch’s powers, but gave her the ability to speak with animals. Now she helps a hunky police officer and his sassy, lie-detecting canine solve paranormal mysteries. When a bride’s murdered on her wedding day, can this team catch the killer?

When former lawyer turned pet psychic, Jolene Hartgrave, is called in to consult on the case of a wedding day tragedy, she’s shocked to recognize the murdered bride as someone from her childhood. Jolene vows to tie the knot on the case and to mend her rocky relationship with hunky cop Peter, even as she struggles to confess to him one final secret--her connection to the underground shifter mob boss.

As Peter and Jolene investigate how a girl from the seedy Night Market district came to be killed at her own wedding to the magical island’s elite, they uncover political scandals, jealous rivals and country club clashes.

Will Jolene engage justice for a fellow shifter and prove to Peter she’s trustworthy? Or will she let a killer roam free and lose the man she’s crushing on?
Breaking Bat is the sixth novel in the hilarious and enchanting Magic Market paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like talking animal sidekicks, delicious riddles, and cheeky female leads, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s enchanting tale.

Breaking Bat by Erin Johnson is another fabulously written book, and we are learning more about the shifter community than ever.

Will Jolene be able to figure out who killed Letty?

Jolene and company

Jolene Hartgrove and Officers Peter and Daisy Flint are back on with another case. Only this time, poor Daisy can’t use her lie sniffing to help them out. See, Daisy has allergies, and they are pretty much active. Jolene comes in to help solve the case even though there was no animal present. A lot is going on for Jolene, Peter, and Daisy. The first two have to deal with no Daisy to help them out and figure out who is lying. Not only that, but Jolene is trying to figure out how to tell Peter the rest of her story as a shifter. Peter overall is doing a lot better than he did the last time we saw him. Jolene and Daisy are getting along better too. I love their banter that they have going on, as it is hilarious.

What I like about Jolene and company is that they are getting better at listening and taking things in stride. Not only that, but that the three of them are each willing to listen to the others. Another thing that I like is that this case brings the three of them closer together despite it being a touchy subject.

Breaking Bat CRThe Mystery

The mystery is that a bride was found dead in her bridal suite with the main door into the room locked, and the only way in or out is a small window that was left open. We learn a lot about the shifter community and how it was before the Monster Wars happened. Along with how Ludlof came into power. It is a very informative book that leaves me with more questions about what is happening to Jolene. Not only that, but how the orphanage got started and how the shifters got their powers. I thought I had the right guy but talked myself out of it, and it was the right guy. So beware of the red herrings and don’t get caught up in them.

Five Stars

Breaking Bat by Erin Johnson is a great book, and I love this series. I am enjoying learning about the shifter community in this series and how they are different than Sam. Oh, and Sam makes an appearance, sort of, in this one for the fans of Ms. Johnson’s first series Spells and Caramels. It was an overall incredible story, and I love how Jolene is with both Peter and Daisy. I can’t wait to read more from this series. I am giving it five stars and recommending it to anyone that wants to read it.
