Fanciful, Magical Cozy Hits The Spot! The Ghost Camper's Tall Tales by Elizabeth Pantley

 This is the third book in Elizabeth Pantley's Destiny Falls Mystery & Magic series. I enjoy the whimsy of this series and the real coziness of the magic.  Houses and gardens changing daily to suit the needs of their occupants--how cozy! 

I was having a rough week and this book was a perfect escape for me.  On one hand, you have the ongoing mystery of Hayden's missing mother, and a new murder in Destiny Falls and on the other hand you have the magical mansion and grounds of the Caldwell Family ---plus a witch, ghosts and telepathic cats. This is a book to read and forget all your worries. 

The book is out on Monday 8/2 via Amazon. Treat yourself to a fun tale, that could be even more fun read around a campfire! 

The twist with the solo ticket to Gladstone at the end was so sweet.  

4 Stars!  Whimsy at it's best! 

#BookBirthday "The Disappearance of Emily" is Out Today!

The weather was so nice Monday I took my houseplants on a field trip! I'm looking forward to when they can be outside everyday. Some will go out for the whole summer and a few will be staying inside. Knock on wood, I'm happy that they made it through the winter! I've not always had much of a green thumb.

Now for A Magical Cozy Review!

First of all, the cat on the cover cracks me up!  Those eyes!  This is the second book in Elizabeth Pantley's Destiny Falls Cozy Mystery Series.  The first book is Falling into Magic 

The Disappearance of Emily takes place about two weeks after the first book and in it, Hayden meets a mysterious Ferry Captain who needs to speak with her in private regarding a matter of life and death Cozy Fans, what do you think is going to happen to the Ferry Captain before they speak to Hayden?  Nothing good!  

In addition to the Ferry Captain Mystery, Hayden still has not figured out how to go back to Seattle, or how to explain that she fell through the looking glass and now is in a magical land. She is still discovering the wonders of the Caldwell Mansion and trying to learn about Destiny Falls and the Islands around it. 

Continuing from the first book we see Hayden's ancestral home is as much a character in this series as her brother Axel. The descriptions of its ever-changing architecture and decor are pure coziness. 

You can tell that Elizabeth Pantley is having the best time writing the magical world of Destiny Falls as she describes the vibrant flora and fauna on the Island, the scrumptious meals shared at family dinners, and the wild wardrobe of Cleobella.  But wait there's also the magical library, and a scorned witch hiding in the woods outside the town...

Hayden takes on a new job as the reporter and editor of the town newspaper which allows for her and her estranged up until now, to bond.  There is a little romance blossoming as well and I look forward to seeing what happens next in this light, fanciful, super cozy!  It is out today so you can pick up a copy for yourself. It's included in a kindle unlimited subscription. 

I received an ARC of this book, as always the opinions are mine!
