About this ebook

This zany series by USA Today bestselling cozy mystery author Molly Fitz will have you laughing out loud...

My name is Gracie Springs, and I am not a witch… but I’m pretty sure my cat is. I first started to get suspicious when he jumped just a little too high while chasing after a robin in our front yard. I knew for sure when he opened up his mouth and addressed me by name!

The first thing he told me? That he doesn’t like the name I gave him—even though “Fluffy” fits him like a warm sweater at Christmas. Now we’ve compromised on “Merlin the Magical Fluff,” which according to him references his long and proud lineage just fine.

After that small matter was settled, he informed me that I must uphold his secret or risk spending the rest of my life in some magical prison. I agreed, not knowing it would turn into a full-time job of covering his tracks and fibbing our way out of some pretty tight spots.

When my boss at the local coffee shop turns up dead as a dormouse, things go from challenging to practically impossible… especially since all my coworkers seem to think I’m to blame.

Here’s hoping my witchy cat can charm our way out of this one, because right now it looks like I’m cursed if I do and charged with murder if I don’t. Yikes!

Ratings and reviews

Cute story with an adorable kitten and his "employee" (we all know even normal cats aren't really owned). The story flows well and has enough mystery to keep you interested.

This is a very interesting story. Author does an excellent job of blending the mystery and introducing the new series. It's so captivating that I didn't want it to end and can't wait to read what comes next. Gracie is special and gracious. Merlin is of course a little arrogant but he has a loving heart and I think he made a great choice on who would accompany him on this magical adventure. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The sheer over-the-top silliness of this book tickles my fancy. If you like silliness, snark, and shenanigans with your paranormal happenings, then it’s probably going to tickle yours as well. As someone who’s been owned by a cat before, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn most of this was true. Now that we’ve started to get to know Gracie and Merlin, I can’t wait to learn even more about them. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
