Cassie Scot ParaNormal Detective by Christine Amsden
I have been thoroughly
charmed and caught in a spell spun by Christine Amsden. I am not sure what I expected of Cassie Scot
but what I got was a lovable and charming character that has won me over.
Cassie a “Marilyn Munster” in a magical family has to carve her own way. When
nothing is done for the simple reason of favor but has repercussions and debts
to be paid, it can be a little tricky. Cassie runs her own detective agency and
works with her former boss the police chief to solve magical/normal cases.
When a client comes
into the office with hopes of Cassie serving a subpoena to a love potion making
witch thing go from easy to puzzling when Cassie finds a dead body. Only the
dead body turns out to be cousin to a powerful and childhood friend/crush Evan.
A sorcerer that is rumored to place love spells on the women he meets. They
begin to work together to find out who is behind the murders and quickly become
gossip.
Added to the mayhem
is a crazy and magical family that all live together in one house. All of
Cassie’s siblings have magical ability. It is a wildly funny and chaotic atmosphere.
All is not perfect in this household. Feeling less than and not good enough has
plagued Cassie since childhood and continues.
Cassie struggles to
figure out who she is and who she can trust. It’s hard with so many secrets and
lies swirling around. Cassie is beginning to realize someone wants her dead.
Who will help her? Who will cast her aside and who can she trust?
Such a good story
that when I finished I immediately searched for book 2. Sadly we will have to
wait till November. ((sad face)) I want it now mummy!
5 STARS!
