Darcy Merriweather lives in the "Wicked" Enchanted
Village of Salem. Surrounded by Terracrafters,
Halfcrafters, Floracrafters and Emoticrafters, among other
magical beings, mystery abounds. Everything begins with the
lavish 80th birthday party for Harriette Harkette, a magical
florist. Alive with talking critters and witches with the
ability to cast spells and grant wishes, Sassy Darcy is
easily caught up in the mystery of the community.
Michael Healey, an illumicrafter, is murdered and his
ghost is "imprinted" on Darcy and they are bonded until his
murderer is caught. Harriette is being framed for the
murder. Claiming for herself the famed black roses that are
actually created by Michael's magic, her motive for murder
is apparent. With a boyfriend as a halfcrafter and a sister
who is a witch, Darcy has her work cut out for her in
investigating the magical Elysian Fields to uncover the
murder and mystery of the Witching Hour rose while keeping
her life intact with the aid of all her critters. Nothing
is ever as it seems and it takes Darcy to bring this to
light.
This story is part of HEATHER BLAKE'S Witchcraft
Mystery
Series. This is the first of the series I have had the
opportunity to read. This is completely magical with all
the special little critters and is stuffed with all the
mystery you could imagine. While a mystery, the tale is
kept alive with the unusual characters throughout the story.
Only a setting of Salem would be appropriate for this story.
If you enjoy the world of witches and magic, you will love
the way it comes complete with mystery and suspense.
Darcy Merriweather is Enchanted Village’s newest resident Wishcrafter—a witch who can grant wishes for others. But as Darcy prepares a celebration for a magical florist, she discovers that every rose has its thorns… When magical florist Harriette Harkette decides to throw a lavish eightieth birthday party for herself, she hires Darcy’s Aunt Ve’s personal concierge service, As You Wish, to plan the soiree. But turning eighty isn’t all Harriette is celebrating—the Floracrafter has recently created the midnight black Witching Hour rose, the first all-natural rose of that color. Darcy works hard on planning an extravagant celebration that will make Harriette feel like the belle of the ball. But when cake delivery boy Michael Healey—a former employee at Harriette’s greenhouse—is found dead, the celebration takes a turn. Now Michael’s ghost has imprinted on Darcy, meaning that they’re bonded until she can untangle the thicket surrounding his murder—and what exactly it has to do with the Witching Hour rose….
