Zucchini Cake and Zombies: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery with a Quirky Amateur Sleuth (A Broomstick Bay Paranormal Cozy Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition

by RaShelle Workman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 289 ratings

She quit practicing magic after everything went wrong. Now, she had better find a fix before an undead former prom queen feasts on her friends.

Ruby Crosswell is done with humiliation. Back in her paranormal small town after she catches her fiancé cheating, the twenty-eight-year-old failed witch would rather forget the time she accidentally nearly blew up the high school. But running into an old flame at the ten-year class reunion makes her feel young again… until they trip over the dead body of her archrival.

Flying to the top of the suspect list when it’s revealed the cause of death was a wayward spell, Ruby refuses to make things worse by attempting sorcery for the first time in a decade. But between the dearly departed returning as a ravenous zombie and changing herself into a talking cat, the mistake-prone spellcaster fears she won’t survive long enough to clear her own name.

Can Ruby summon a solution before she becomes the next shambling menace?

Zucchini Cake & Zombies is the hilarious first book in the Broomstick Bay Paranormal Cozy Mystery series. If you like witty banter, enchanted houses with personality, and strange small towns, then you’ll love RaShelle Workman’s hexing whodunit.

    This was book 1 in the "Broomstick Bay" series. Ruby moved back home after her fiance cheated on her. Back to a town she had left when the mean girls urging her into performing black magic backfired. Ruby hasn't been home in years and she hasn't practiced any witchcraft. When one of her former classmates ends up dead she begins investigating. This was a pretty good story that I liked. I also liked the secondary characters in this book. This was my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

    Clean paranormal cozy that had good characters but very little action. This is a book you can put down to read when you can snatch a few minutes. Disappointing ending. Kind of stalled like a flooded gas engine.

    I received this book as an Arc from the author and I’m writing a review because I want to. Wow! This book has magic, zombies, and a reluctant witch who’s leery of her magic after a wonky event! A woman returns home and her childhood nemesis is murdered after they’ve had words. She must ferret the truth out! Highly recommended!
