Charming Springs - Where every day is colder than a witch’s kitty!

After ditching her cheating fiancé, Indie Warren hits the road in her trusty old truck, refusing to settle for anyone or anywhere.

But all that changes after Indie gets stuck in the frozen ghost town of Charming Springs, North Carolina.

In the middle of July.

This secret magical town was struck by a curse that brought on eternal winter and cast a barrier around it with no way in or out.

And Indie knows this because the talking owl told her so, obviously.

Suddenly Indie’s thrown into a world of magic, mayhem, and murder. And when she stands accused of the deadly deed, she’ll have to use her wits to prove her innocence… if she can keep her newfound magical powers under control!

Even with the help of her feathered friend and the mysterious reaper with his own secrets, she’ll need to find her own way out of this cursed place—dead or alive.


A Cold Case In Spell (Ice Witch Mysteries, book 1) is a lighthearted paranormal cozy mystery. Find out what happens next!

Indie Warren splits from her cheating boyfriend, gets her grandmother's truck and little RV, takes a trip, turns right instead of left and ends up in Charming Springs, where magic is real and the town is cursed with perpetual winter. On top of that, she is accused of killing the head Air witch and learns she has powers. Things go downhill from there for Indie.. I would give it 4 stars because I love a snarky heroine and a mystery with a lot of humor, but there were a lot of typos. However, the book is worth it.

I liked the characters and the story line. This book was a quick read. There wasn't any heavy reading and the main character was 26 but acted about 15. The book kept me interested but the book didn't have enough grit for me to continue the series.

The author set up a good story line. It took a while for me to distinguish each character and focus on their place in the community. There were enough wrong words (as if a spell checker selected the wrong word) to be noticeable. Overall, I found the story to be interesting enough for me to want to continue reading this series.

Not sure I was going to keep reading it. The basics of the story were a bit different than similar books I read. However, before I knew it I was at the end of the book. Interesting characters and situations draw you in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2020

I truly enjoyed it and I honestly hope you give your main character a stronger backbone. I read a lot of these type of books and get frustrated when the hero takes forever to build confidence in her abilities and in herself. Please don’t drag it out until book 5 or 6 for her to finally realize her skills.

Haven’t quite figured out what Fatima is but I’m guessing Ash is one of several things. A Reaper, or the son of Mother Nature and Father Time ( wouldn’t that be a kicker!)

Can’t wait for the adventure to continue with the next issue.

Indie is a great character looking to get away after a breakup and recharge. The town is adorably cursed and with wonderful characters that come alive on the page. I can’t wait to see where this series goes. I will definitely be along for the full ride! I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

This is a completely different setting for a paranormal series and it was entertaining. Indie comes into a cursed town and is blamed for a murder and now she has to find a killer. The cast of characters was good, the mystery well done and it’s a good cozy mystery.

Great story. Terrific characters of course both good and bad.
I enjoyed this and highly recommend it. The authors of these "Witchy" stories have the most amazing imagination. Full of fun, strange mythical creatures, amazing happenings.
Read it - you too can only enjoy it.

I'm in love with the setting, Charming Springs, and the parade of lovely characters, first in line Goldie and Fatima for me. While is not too different from other cozies in term of beginning, ex boyfriend/partner/husband sparking a trip to change the MC life and the magical secluded town set, there are quite amusing and fresh new elements that make this story so pleasant. The only thing I found a slight bother is that, after a nicely paced beginning and core part, the last bit, while still giving all the information needed, felt a bit rushed to the end.
I highly recommend this book and am already eyeing the next one in my tbr pile.

Fancy arriving in a snowbound town, in the middle of summer being trapped there. Then to find out that you are a witch that can control all of the elements.
Great read, interesting storyline, great character development.
Looks like being a good series.

2.0 out of 5 stars One and done. A great idea, but I didn’t enjoy it.
Reviewed in Australia on August 16, 2020

Like I said, this book had a great premise. But I wasn’t fussed with any of the characters, especially Ash, and I really didn’t care about solving the murder, nor about breaking the barrier. Everything seemed rushed, and Indie went from a ‘norm’ to super witch in practically no time. Which was a shame as I think the story would have benefited if her abilities were discovered over the course of multiple books rather than gain them all in the one story.
