This series of books by Ruby Loren (or her alter-ego, Silver Nord) are my guilty pleasure! It’s a supernatural ‘cozy mystery’ series with some romance thrown in – I know, reading that description would normally make me run a mile! I hate brain dead insipid romance or genre fiction, and yet, I really enjoy these books. I think they must be really well written or they just tap into the little niche of what floats my boat, as they say. I’ve tried and given up on a few different similar series, because I love books like Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series, as well as Sarah Painter’s Crow Investigations books and was trying to find something in those lines. The Witches of Wormwood books are not really like those, being much lighter and ‘cozier’ but still I very much enjoy reading them. In this one, a supernatural circus comes to town and when one of the performers is found dead, our magical hero, Hazel Salem, teams up with her non-magical policeman friend/love interest to solve the crime.
