Title: In the Company of Witches (Evenfall Witches B&B #1)
Author: Auralee Wallace
Genre: Cozy Mystery, Fantasy
Published: October 19, 2021
My Thoughts: This was my first cozy reading experience, but it will definitely not be my last.
In this charming mystery, a young witch, Brynn Warren, must use her powers to uncover the truth about Constance Graves, a figure in the New England town of Evenfall. She must use her witch of the dead abilities to commune with ghosts and uncover the truth about Constance Graves' death. Brynn, who hasn't used her powers since her husband's death, hopes that her aunts' magic and her own investigative skills will lead her to answers.
I have heard repeatedly that this book is Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls, and that is exactly what to expect when picking it up. Auralee Wallace does a spectacular job giving you all the cozy vibes while putting just the right amount of tension that keeps you turning the page.
While some of the writing did feel a little amateurish, you can easily ignore those with the beauty of the vibes, plot, and characters.
I would recommend In the Company of Witches to anyone who enjoys fall vibes, witchy stories, and a cozy, slow experience (with a little bit of murder).
