Title: Tails, You
Lose
Author: Carol J.
Perry
Series: Witch City Mystery #2
Synopsis: “After losing her job as a TV psychic, Lee
Barrett has decided to volunteer her talents as an instructor at the Tabitha
Trumbull Academy of the Arts -- known as “The Tabby” – in her hometown of
Salem, Massachusetts. But when the
school’s handyman turns up dead under seemingly inexplicable circumstances on
Christmas night, Lee’s clairvoyant capabilities begin bubbling to the surface
once again.
“The Tabby is
housed in the long-vacant Trumbull’s Department Store. As Lee and her intrepid students begin work
on a documentary charting the store’s history, they unravel a century of family
secrets, deathbed whispers – and a mysterious labyrinth of tunnels hidden right
below the streets of Salem. Even the
witches in town are spooked, and when Lee begins seeing visions in the large
black patent leather pump in her classroom, she’s certain something evil is
afoot. But ghosts in the store’s attic
are the least of worries with a killer on the loose…”
Review: Tails, You
Lose is a perfect continuation of the Witch City Mystery series. The world that Perry has created is opened up
to us as we learn about the Tabby and the secrets that lie below the town. The character development continues as Lee
grows in her career choices as a teacher, and with the persistent development
of her psychic abilities. My favorite
character is still O’Ryan the cat. His
character has developed a lot from the first book in the series; he is more
magical in this book, which I loved. I
read Tails, You Lose from cover to cover in a single Sunday afternoon. There were a lot of “edge of your seat”
moments in this book. It is a great book
and I highly recommend this series for fans of cozy mysteries, and for fans of
the paranormal. If you missed my review of the first book in the series you can find it here: Caught Dead Handed.
I love this
series and can’t wait to read more. As
of right now there are five books in the series, but there are two more coming
out this year. It Takes A Coven releases
on February 27, 2018 and Bells, Spells, and Murder releases on September 25, 2018.
