Synopsis

Double, double toil and trouble,

A witch's life is quite a muddle.

The Full Moon crystal shop in North Harbor, Connecticut, offers healing stones for all sorts of ailments. Unfortunately, there's nothing among the gems that can help owner Violet Mooney learn how to wield the magick she inherited from both sides of her family—the legendary Ravenstar and Moonstone clans. As if being an apprentice witch weren't difficult enough, Violet's tutors are her estranged mother Fiona, a sister she never knew she had named Zoe, and a familiar in the form of a black cat, Xander.

Between learning spells, Violet is being investigated by the Magickal Council. A reporter out to debunk spiritualists was "genied"—her soul imprisoned inside a bottle—in Violet's shop, and she can't prove she didn't do it. Meanwhile, her non-magickal life has become complicated when one of her crystal shop customers, Nicole St. James, goes missing and turns up dead, a victim of murder.

Determined to solve both crimes, Violet taps into powers she doesn't understand, much less control—and finds herself conjuring up both supernatural and mortal enemies . . .

Book two in the “A Full Moon Mystery” series, Witch Trial was nice but not as enjoyable as it could have been. I like the characters and find that they are becoming more and more enjoyable, even Violet’s mother, who is not the warm motherly type. The setting is fantastic, and I would love to spend t......more

I've become attached to Violet in this quirky series by Cate Conte. Discovering she's a witch is one thing, but finding out her boyfriend may not be who he says he is, makes her mad. Finding out the truth is all she wants. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series. #WitchTrial #NetGalley.......more
