I received an ARC ebook for free from BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the fourth book in the Scottish Witches Mysteries series and, as I liked the previous books, as expected, I looked into the next one. You can definitely read this one as a standalone again, as there is enough detail provided by the author about what happened previously.

I usually don't like stories with past and future storylines, as the parts written in the present are usually dull compared to the old times. But here, I liked it a lot. 

This time, we follow the mysterious coven leader, Mrs. Maryanna MacDonald. The story is told by Kenna, someone who appears near the witches later and does not know them well. She's an inspector and investigates the death of a young woman found in Mrs. MacDonald’s kitchen.

I loved the interaction of the characters and also the twists and turns while trying to investigate the murder. Mrs. MacDonald’s past was well crafted, and I enjoyed the interactions with her family and also the dilemma about her future.

I think this series is getting better with every single book and I recommend it if you want to relax while reading something exciting.
