I don't write negative reviews too often and likewise, I don't often quit a book after just 50 pages. I crept to 50 and only under total duress.

This book was utterly stupid - it opens with a chase scene with the "victim" protagonist being chased through town by a large group of residents wanting some sort of potion to ward against a prediction that one person in the town was going to get a divorce ... or something like that. Gahhhh!

It's too bad because I like her other series. This one is not for me - I can do silly but not ridicules.

I like the small town in this story, its called Hitching Post. The town has lots of interesting stores and characters. When someone is found dead in the back of Carlys store..the Police have to close her store to look for clues. Meanwhile, Carly sets off to find who ( and why ) he was killed. Did someone use one of her Magic Potions to kill him? Thats one of the questions she needs answered.

One of my favorite characters in this story is Carlys cousin Delia. They dont always get along..but they are family..and they help each other. There is also a romance in this book, between Carly and her on again/off again boyfriend Dylan. ( I hope their romance story continues in the next book in this series! ) **
