Welcome to the coziest, vampire-owned tea room in Bath! It’s steeped in magic and mystery.

You’re supposed to support your guy, right? Even if it means moving away from the watery source of your witchy magic and suffering through five years of writer's block?

Minnie Wells thought so, until her soon-to-be-ex left her high and dry for another woman. Now, she’s back in Bath, with the magic of the town’s enchanted springs flowing through her veins, ready to explore her newbie witch powers and pen her novel. Bath inspired her favorite writer Jane Austen, after all. Why wouldn’t it work for her?

Only catch is, once the divorce is final, Minnie will be deported back to the US (and she’ll lose her powers all over again) unless she can convince the haughty (and handsome) vampire owner of a struggling tea room to hire her.

As if her cup didn’t already runneth over with trouble, an employee drops dead during her interview.

Now Minnie’s got to solve the murder to clear the cafe’s name, while figuring out a way to bring in more customers. With the help of her vampire roommate and black cat familiar, she’s hot on the killer’s trail. But when the murderer sets Minnie in their sights, she’ll have to tap into her own inner strength (and magic) to save herself, and bring the killer to justice.

Will Minnie solve the murder and save the vampire’s tea room? Or will she find herself in hot water with the killer?

Pull your armchair closer to the cozy crackling fire, sip your steaming tea, and find out now in Spelling the Tea!

If you like charming towns, a hilarious cast of lovable characters, and twisty mysteries, you’ll love Erin Johnson’s lighthearted whodunnit. Spelling the Tea is the first book in the Vampire Tea Room Magical Mysteries.

Spelling the Tea by Erin Johnson is a magical, filled cozy mystery that keeps you guessing on whodunit.

Will Minnie find a way to stay in Bath and solve a mystery?

Minnie Wells

Minnie Wells is our main character and point-of-view character. She is a hoot. We follow along in her story as she discovers how to work her magic and finding a good way to stay in Bath. Minnie is in her late twenties and is going through a divorce when she starts on her journey to have a better life. She is a nice person who decides to help solve a murder while trying to figure out a way to get the tea room owner to give her a chance to work there. I like Minnie because she is a fun character and I love reading from her point of view. She wants to be a writer, which I think is pretty funny, and she likes Jane Austen.

The Mystery

The mystery revolves around one of the butlers dying from a peanut allergy. Minnie is trying to figure out who could have killed him, why they wanted to kill him, and how he got peanuts into his system. Brock Remington, the victim, had many people angry with him, and he didn’t care. Minnie has a fun time trying to solve this one and it is pretty interesting who actually did it and why.

Five Stars

Spelling the Tea by Erin Johnson is an enchanting paranormal cozy mystery that keeps the reader on their toes. Ms. Johnson has done a fantastic job of crafting this story. This new series has nothing to do with her last two series, but it’s great. I’m curious to see how this location-based witchcraft actually works since I never heard of it before, and it is always great to see what Ms. Johnson’s imagination can come up with in her stories. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone that likes paranormal cozies with the perfect amount of humor.
