Description from the publisher:

Zara Riddle is another year older, and busier than ever.  She's a powerful witch, a skilled librarian, and the World's Best Mom—according to her coffee mug.  It's no wonder the town's detective keeps seeking her help.  If you want something done, ask a busy person!

Zara partners again with Detective Bentley to investigate a call about a missing person.  The caller, a sweet little old lady named Temperance Krinkle, claims to have psychic abilities.  Zara and Bentley have to laugh when it turns out the missing "person" is a tiny figurine from a dollhouse.  But then a local resident disappears for real, and the so-called psychic with the attic full of creepy dollhouses doesn't seem so funny anymore.

Now Zara and Bentley, witch librarian and vampire detective, must use their skills to unravel a mystifying crime.  That is, when they aren't using their skills to drive each other crazy.

Getting to the bottom of this case is going to take every resource in Wisteria, from Zara's coworkers at the library, to the police department, plus City Hall, and the supernatural agents at the Department of Water and Magic.  This conspiracy runs deep. Miles deep.  When the entity behind all the scheming is revealed, there will be justice.  And it won't be pretty.

WISTERIA WARNED is book 2 of the DAYBREAK mini-series featuring Zara Riddle and Detective Bentley working together, solving local crimes.  It is the 9th novel set in the world of the Wisteria Witches Mysteries and, as of publication, the latest on the Wisteria timeline.  This book is centered on Zara Riddle's point of view, with some bonus chapters featuring other favorite characters.  Fans will love all the series questions that get answered, not to mention the juicy secrets revealed in this book.  Never before has so much trouble been unsealed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



WISTERIA WARNED is the second book in the Wisteria Witches Mysteries – Daybreak trilogy and the ninth in the Wisteria Witches series.  Though each story could stand on its own, the series is best enjoyed if you read them all and in the order of release.



Nine books into this series and it hasn’t lost its charm, wit, appeal, or humor.  If anything, they are all increasing.  I love these characters and wish I could move to this town!



I love the complexities of the stories that keep my mind active and involved.  I love all of the supernatural friends and magical shenanigans.  I love the on-your-toes action and the maybe-they-will-maybe-they-won’t romance.  I love these stories.



In this one, Zara and Detective Bentley are working together.  For a change up in the action, there was no ghost mucking up Zara’s habits, but there was plenty of her daughter Zoey and Ribbons the Wyvern to keep me smiling.  It was fun and suspenseful – light hearted and serious.  It was perfect.



Narration:  Tiffany Williams is one of the best audiobook narrators available.  Her “theater of the mind” skills are honed to perfection and I often forget that I’m supposed to be terrified of driving while I’m listening to an Angela Pepper story read by Tiffany Williams.  That is a blessing on her and for me.
