When it rains, it pours...

On the eve of my fortieth birthday, Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I'm a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosy and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right. And last but not least, my ex-husband's barely legal arm candy is taking fatal attraction to new levels of Hell.

I'm no shrinking violet, and with the help of my best friends, I'm going to live life on my terms--come Hell, high water, or magikal mishaps.

Cloudy with a Chance of Witchcraft by Mandy M. Roth is the first novel in the Grimm Cove paranormal romance series with witches, shifters and vampires. Magic, suspense, and a second chance romance made for a delightful tale.

the scoop

This is the first book in the Grimm Cove trilogy, it has a small-town cozy feel with romance and a quiet little town where residents are of the supernatural variety. Poppy’s husband asks for a divorce, and she heads home to the house her grandparents left her in Grimm Cove. Her best friend’s from college are making a fresh start with her.

While the romance was fast moving as mated romances tend to be, I loved Cloudy with a Chance of Witchcraft. Poppy is a witch, but her parents never practice, and she is untrained. She doesn’t even believe in it; she is however skilled with plants and at making potions. Brett the local chief of police was Poppy’s first love, and it looks like fate will give them a second chance.

The author delivered a suspense angle. First, witches are turning up dead and local Brett has been looking for a break in the case. When Poppy and her friends arrive in town, it looks like evil forces are trying to keep her from her ancestral home. I loved all the paranormal woo-woo, some dark, but some delivered humor.

Secondary characters were fantastic from quirky to the delicious back and forth snarky banter as we gain a hint of the romance in book two.

The book offered friendship, humor women over forty can relate to and new beginnings. The story flowed easily and left me smiling.

The tale wrapped up nicely, and I look forward to Hexing with a Chance of Tornadoes available now, and Spellcasting with a Chance of Spirits releasing at the end of May 2020.

Magic, suspense, and a second chance romance await you in this delightful tale. Grab Cloudy with a Chance of Witchcraft by Mandy M. Roth #Paranormal #WomensFiction #GrimmCove Click To Tweet

    This sounds like I would enjoy – kind of like a mix of paranormal and cozy. Would you say it has a cozy feel?

    I love that this is a group who came together to create such a fun genre. The book world is always evolving. Thanks for sharing!

    This looks really fun and I really like that it’s more women’s fiction then romance. I’ve been loving books that really focus on friendship and this one looks fun.

    I’m guessing Grimm Cove is brother’s Grimm’s hideout or ancestral home? Aside from that, i think she’ll have a lot of spells to cast

    I just read this one as well and I really liked it! I’ve read a handful of these (the genre) and so far have liked most of them but some of them have definitely been way better than others and this was one of those. I can’t wait to read the next one!

    This sound like the start to a great series and new genre. Thank you for sharing your awesome review!
