Piper Addison is in it deep. Turns out, finding out how your ghost familiar met her doom is not as easy as it sounds…

Tourist season is over and Orchard Hollow is as peaceful as ever. Piper Addison, the town witch and cafe owner, finally gets to kick back her sneakers and relax. The weather is glorious, her dusty love life has been resurrected, and she’s all caught up on binge watching shows. Nothing can be better!

Well, except for one slight problem.

Piper promised her ghost familiar she’d help find out what landed her in the land of the non-living.

It wouldn’t be so bad if the ghost didn’t have a case of amnesia and a serious need of an attitude adjustment. One thing is for certain, Piper’s familiar didn’t kick the bucket by choice.

Between figuring out the mystery of Stella’s demise, battling a raccoon for cookies, and tracing her mom’s steps hoping to reunite with a father she never met; Piper has her hands full. And this time, even her strange magic might not be enough to get her out of this bind.

Killing Grinds is a paranormal cozy mystery complete with an unlucky witch, a ghost familiar, and a feisty raccoon with a talent for getting into sticky situations.

Killing Grinds by A.N. Sage is a twisty tale of solving another cold case.

Will Piper get justice for Stella?

Piper Addison and Stella Rutherford

Piper Addison has promised Stella Rutherford that she would look into Stella’s death to see how she died. These two are hilarious, and I love their banter. Piper is trying to live a normal life while dealing with her out-of-control magic and running her cafe. Piper is a great friend to her ghost familiar. She wants to help figure out what happened to Stella, even if that means that Stella might end up leaving her to head to the afterlife. These two are great friends, and I’m happy they have each other.

The Mystery

Stella Rutherford was found deceased ten years ago. Well, until Piper needed a familiar, and poof, Stella appeared for her ghostly duty. Unlike typical cases, Stella doesn’t remember much about her life around the time that she died, which makes it hard for Piper to solve her murder. I didn’t guess whodunit. I didn’t even know who to suspect.

Five Stars

Killing Grinds by A.N. Sage is the next great story within the Orchard Hollow series, and it was so funny to read. I am giving five stars to Killing Grinds by A.N. Sage and recommending it to all paranormal cozy fans. Ms. Sage is a fantastic writer, and I can’t wait to see what happens next for Piper, Stella, Joe, and the rest of the inhabitants of Orchard Hollow.
