⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "...well-written, full of red herrings, twists, turns, and surprises. I love the group of friends who call themselves the book club, and how Petra has found her own unique family here... When you add in an adorable protection dog who seems to think that Petra is his human of choice, well, that’s just icing on the mysteriously served cake. I had fun here, and I’m already looking forward to the next story in this paranormal mystery series.”

“…what truly resonated with me was Petra’s emotional journey. Her anxiety about being discovered, her cautious approach to forming friendships, and her affection for her pets (the cats! the ferrets! my heart!) made her character incredibly relatable. I found myself laughing, gasping, and perhaps shedding a tear or two.”
