Publisher's Summary

Welcome to Myrtlewood, a quirky town steeped in magic, tea, and mystery…

Life’s a struggle for Rosemary Thorn and her teen daughter, Athena. But their regular troubles are turned upside down after Granny Thorn’s mysterious death.

Despite her cousin's sinister maneuverings, Rosemary returns to Myrtlewood and the sprawling, dilapidated Thorn Manor. There's more to the old house than meets the eye, as Rosemary and Athena soon find out—in a whirlwind of magic, adventure, mystical creatures, and endless cups of tea.

Life in Myrtlewood would be bliss if Rosemary could only clear her name in a certain murder investigation, solve the mystery and stay out of mortal peril—for at least a little while!

A small town with endless secrets, strange activities, and a house with a mind of its own.

Excellent storyline

Great work Iris! Thoroughly enjoyable story with interesting characters, will definitely continue with the series. The narration was a little painful at first, but persevered as I did want to finish the book. That being said, I'll continue with the series in print format, as I found the plot refreshing.

Okay

So annoyed with Athena and how she puts her mother down consistently and thinks with 16 years she knows better all the time.
Only half way through but really annoying me.

the story is good however I was wondering if it was aimed at teens / young adults.

the narration is not good. it has put me off purchasing the rest of the series.
I may order the kindle versions and read myself.

Disappointed

Wanted to love this book and enjoy the whole series but this cosy, witchy mystery is ruined by the intensely annoying and argumentative daughter character, she’s exhausting! Wish this series was just about Rosemary, her ancestors and the intriguing town characters.

Great story - awful narration!

It was a fun story but the narrator made the main character sound like she has emphysema and most of the characters sound the same.
I persevered because I wanted to know what happens next, and I’ll probably get the next one however it’s very disappointing casting.
