A cracking start to the Southern B&B series a. There are elements of a mystery, paranormal, magic and romance highlighting the abilities of the author. The writing moved smoothly, the characters personalities were already present, the descriptions placed you in a southern state.There are characters with family history and newcomers to the area adding more depth.

She goes to the restaurant to see Drew, only to find his brother, dead in the kitchen. Quinn has problems handling the situation and loses it when the homicide detective tells her she conspired with Drew to murder his brother.
