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

You’d expect serving afternoon tea to a high-society ladies club to go smoothly, right?

Newbie witch and marketing whiz Minnie Wells thought so. She’s in need of some smooth sailing, considering her plate is full with magic lessons, marketing the tea room, and navigating a divorce during the most romantic time of the year. But the women’s “Galentine’s” Day celebration is thrown into chaos when their event coordinator is stabbed in the back with a pink stiletto.

Now her handsome boss (who Minnie might have a little crush on) is in hot water with the vampire council and the group’s down a guide.

When Minnie’s offered the position for the weekend, she eagerly agrees to show the women around the gorgeous city of Bath. Not only to make some extra cash so she and her black cat can stop crashing on her vampire bestie’s couch, but also because she’ll get an an all-access pass to snoop out the killer and clear her boss’s name.

When another body turns up though, Minnie suspects she may be in over her head!

Will Minnie figure out who’s got it out for these upper class ladies and save her boss from the vampire council’s wrath? Or will the killer tire of Minnie’s meddling, and have a score to kettle?

Pull your armchair closer to the cozy crackling fire, sip your steaming tea, and find out now in With Scream and Sugar!

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

Happy reading!

With Scream and Sugar by Erin Johnson is where we learn more about this world that Ms. Johnson has created.

Can Minnie be able to figure out who the killer is before her deadline?

Minnie Wells

Minnie is back and at it again, helping to solve another mystery. This time because she stuck her nose where it shouldn’t have been at the vampire council meeting. She seems to be getting the hang of her powers, and we are going more in-depth into this world that Ms. Johnson has created. Minnie is a great character that I love getting to know through her perspective and books. I like Minnie because she is different from Ms. Johnson’s other two main characters but still has that sense that she belongs in the world that she is fighting to stay apart of. I also like that she is trying to get to know her two vampire friends more than she already does to understand them better. The last thing that I like about her is that she’s trying to make life work in Bath even if some things are making it difficult.

The Mystery

The one who put the vampire council’s attention on Fitz about his tearoom did not look good for their community. Well, mostly that they think he’s involved. Minnie is now tasked with solving it and proving his innocence. She has a lot of questions that need answers to solve this mystery. Including why would anyone kill the tour guide that they barely know? And why was she nervous about a book that someone has anonymously given to the old lady? These questions and more get answered as the mystery unfolds. Minnie gets closer to not only Fitz, her vampire boss, but also a certain detective inspector.

Five Stars

With Scream and Sugar by Erin Johnson is such a fantastic read. I love how she has incorporated each new series she has done to fit into the world that she created for Spells and Caramels. For fans of that series, you might recognize someone’s name. We are now exploring the Earth Kingdom, and it’s nice to explore a different kingdom without being bogged down by spending too much in the Water Kingdom. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone who loves a good paranormal cozy mystery series!
