review 1: The story centers around dead Aunt Tillie getting an invitation and a note to come to Amethyst IL because of something the author of the note (Birdie) read in the stars. This note also mentions the grand daughter (Stacy) who "... continues to fight against her destiny". So dead Aunt Tillie goes travels to Amethyst IL along with her great niece Mara and her housemate Gus, all of whom happen to be witches.The first 3/4 of the novella was very promising. All of the characters were very well described and believable. However towards the end it seemed rather rushed as all of a sudden Stacy knows exactly what to do and it comes second nature to her. The beginning seemed like an adult story yet towards the end it had a quality not dissimilar to that of a child's fairy tale.N... moreB: Apparently this book brings characters from 2 different series Stacy Justice Mysteries (Barbra Annino) and Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She's Dead (Christiana Miller) together. I have not read either of these series and I'm not entirely convinced that this book makes me want to do so. If I had to read one of them, I'd probably read the Christiana Miller series mainly because I love the interaction between Mara, Gus and other minor characters.
review 2: Having read "Someone tell Aunt Tilly that she's dead" and finding this other story by the author (although this one is a collaboration), I thought it worth a go. It was entertaining enough, although it seemed to require knowledge of the previous book to develop any sort of empathy with the characters - I knew Mara and Gus, but had not met Stacy before. I would like to have got to know Stacy a bit better. Also, I'm not sure if two authors should collaborate on what is essentially a short novella, since it seemed too short a story to have it split between two characters. Overall fun, but a little too fast-moving to really hold my attention. less
