Description from the publisher:

A dark stranger. A deadly potion. A school for scoundrels...

Lily Locke has barely had time to sink into her role as The Isle's newest Mixologist, when a series of events sends her world spiraling out of control. Her vampire cousin is overtaken by a serious bout of blood intolerance issues, and the key ingredient for the antidote is missing.

Meanwhile, Zin is training day and night under the watchful eye of Grandma Hettie to break into the elite, male-dominated world of the Ranger security force, but it's a constant uphill battle. Then, Ranger X turns Lily's world upside down when he breaks the longstanding rules of the island and throws both her heart and her head into a tailspin.

Hooded strangers, dangerous potions, and a budding romance threaten to ruin all that Lily's worked to achieve. Add in a stolen spellbook, and Lily's barely able to hold her head above water.

When a body turns up on the beach, Lily must catch the murderer before a true battle begins...

Welcome back, Islanders.

WITCHY SOUR is the second book in the Magic and Mixology series.  They do need to be read in the order of release.



There isn’t anything about this book that I don’t love!  Family, friends, mystery, romance, ups, downs, twists, and turns.  It was fun.  It was funny.  It was romantic and it was suspenseful.



The author writes at a pace that kept me captivated and glued to the steering wheel as I listened.  The dialogue is clever with a lot of sass, sarcasm, and a bit snark (which I love).  The mystery is well plotted and kept me guessing.  Plus the witchy elements (along with the other supernaturals) had me smiling, nodding, and giggling with delight.



I have loved listening to this series so far and will continue to purchase episodes as long as I have an Audible membership.
