And until the mystery is solved, the murdered mistress keeps sending nightmares to Sydney。 When they finally think they have an answer, they think they can go no further。 But Beatrix needs her name cleared of suicide or she can’t pass on。 They must find proof to reclassify the cause of her death to homicide。 But how?You will love meeting Sir Bogart! He’s a real “take charge” kitty! Will Sydney be able to get proof of who murdered Beatrix? Unless she can do so, her B&B will remain closed。 She will lose everything, and fail her ghostly companions。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading this book。 A sign of a good book is if you can put yourself in the main character's situation, and I certainly did。Sydney is an extremely likeable character。 I found myself rooting for her throughout the book。 After finding herself on the outside in her last relationship, Sydney is looking for a fresh start when she buys a mansion to turn it into a bed and breakfast inn。 She later finds out that it is haunted。 She put in charge of solving the long ago murder of the previ I really enjoyed reading this book。 A sign of a good book is if you can put yourself in the main character's situation, and I certainly did。Sydney is an extremely likeable character。 I found myself rooting for her throughout the book。 After finding herself on the outside in her last relationship, Sydney is looking for a fresh start when she buys a mansion to turn it into a bed and breakfast inn。 She later finds out that it is haunted。 She put in charge of solving the long ago murder of the previous mistress of the house by three interfering ghosts。 I still have a major question that wasn't answered at the end of the book。 Maybe this question will be answered in the next book of the series 。。。more

Moonlight and Mischief is the first book in the Mysteries of Moonlight Manor series。 The main character in all three books, Sydney Coleman, needs a fresh start after being fired and dumped by her boss/boyfriend。 She wants to get out of New York City, but doesn't want to return to her hometown in Iowa。 Sydney decides to buy a huge old house in Misty Meadows, Maine to turn into a bed and breakfast。 However, Sydney didn't know that along with the beautiful architecture and antique furnishings, the Moonlight and Mischief is the first book in the Mysteries of Moonlight Manor series。 The main character in all three books, Sydney Coleman, needs a fresh start after being fired and dumped by her boss/boyfriend。 She wants to get out of New York City, but doesn't want to return to her hometown in Iowa。 Sydney decides to buy a huge old house in Misty Meadows, Maine to turn into a bed and breakfast。 However, Sydney didn't know that along with the beautiful architecture and antique furnishings, the house also came with ghosts! The two human and one feline ghosts insist that Sydney solve the case of their murdered mistress before accepting any guests。 If Sydney wants her Bed and Breakfast to have a chance at being a success, she needs to solve this very cold case。 I really enjoyed the cute, fast-paced story and liked getting to know Sydney and the three spirits living in the house。 The first part of the book is about the changes in Sydney's life and the preparations she is making for her new business, and the sleuthing comes later in the book。 Once Sydney commits to investigating the death of the former mistress of the house, she proves herself to be a clever amateur sleuth。 It was a nice change from many cozy series to have the local sheriff, Haley Allen, be so cooperative when Sydney presents her findings。Another standout character in the book is Sydney's new friend, Frannie Clark, who runs the local bakery。 She is kind and quickly becomes a good friend to newcomer, Sydney。 I enjoyed the book and would rate it 4。5 stars。 I will be reading the next two books as soon as possible so I can find out what's in store for Sydney and her new friends in Misty Meadows。 I received a copy of this ebook from the author at no cost, but my review is voluntary and unbiased。 。。。more

The first book in a new series。 ttttPersonally, I prefer the mystery to occur near the beginning of the book。ttttThe majority of the book was setting the scene and introducing the characters。ttttHowever, saying that, I did enjoy the book, liked the characters and will continue to read the series。ttttHopefully, the mystery will occur much earlier in subsequent books。 ttttI received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。tttt

Sydney buys an old mansion with the idea of turning it into a bed and breakfast。 Along the way she makes new friends, has a few scares and ends up with a ghost cat。 I loved this book and am definitely looking forward to the next one!

A delightful story。Moonlight and Mischief by Molly Fitz and Trixie Silvertale was a light-hearted quick read。 I just love how I can relax and leave reality for a while and be entertained。Sir Bogart was my favourite character and I enjoyed his wit and banter。 I also appreciated how information was revealed so I wasn't hit with an information dump。 A delightful story。Moonlight and Mischief by Molly Fitz and Trixie Silvertale was a light-hearted quick read。 I just love how I can relax and leave reality for a while and be entertained。Sir Bogart was my favourite character and I enjoyed his wit and banter。 I also appreciated how information was revealed so I wasn't hit with an information dump。 。。。more

Starting out with a demoralizing and humiliating incident, this book turns around quickly。 I enjoyed meeting the residents of Moonlight Manor and the town of Misty Meadows。 The ghosts were a pleasant surprise, I greatly enjoyed having them in the story! The characters seem to be wonderful people (and ghosts)…except Gladys。 I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

I read this book at one sitting, it was so good! The standard trope of big-city woman buys a haunted house to turn it into a bed & breakfast? Basically, that's the start of this story, but that's definitely not the end of it! Throw in two human ghosts and one cat ghost who want to solve their mistress' murder, some spooked-out guests, and a woman who definitely is out of her comfort zone with this whole situation, and you've got a hilarious and intriguing cozy paranormal mystery。 I can't wait to I read this book at one sitting, it was so good!

Moonlight and Mischief is a fascinating start of a new series。 Sydney moves, buys a mansion, converts it to a B&B and finds that she has three ghosts who interfere with her guests。 The delightful ghosts, a cat, a maid and a butler demand she solve the cold case of their mistress' murder (that had been ruled an accident)。 This well written, well plotted mystery is a delightful read with plenty of twists。 I could not put it down。 Moonlight and Mischief is a fascinating start of a new series。 Sydney moves, buys a mansion, converts it to a B&B and finds that she has three ghosts who interfere with her guests。 The delightful ghosts, a cat, a maid and a butler demand she solve the cold case of their mistress' murder (that had been ruled an accident)。 This well written, well plotted mystery is a delightful read with plenty of twists。 I could not put it down。 。。。more

I am absolutely in love with this new series。 I feel like a lot of us have been in Sydney’s shoes at various points in our lives: adrift, searching for new meaning, trying to be the tough girl in spite of being raised to be “nice”。 There was a lot in Sydney’s situation I could relate to。 However, her spectral roommates are not part of my personal experience, but they just might be the best parts of her story。 The townsfolk are quirky, the mystery was intriguing, and the cat is as snooty and sarc I am absolutely in love with this new series。 I feel like a lot of us have been in Sydney’s shoes at various points in our lives: adrift, searching for new meaning, trying to be the tough girl in spite of being raised to be “nice”。 There was a lot in Sydney’s situation I could relate to。 However, her spectral roommates are not part of my personal experience, but they just might be the best parts of her story。 The townsfolk are quirky, the mystery was intriguing, and the cat is as snooty and sarcastic as I expect any talking feline worth his whiskers to be。 I can’t wait to see what happens next。I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout。 。。。more

AH! What a story。 A good plot with the murder, it is believable。 I was very surprised that so many would be afraid of Ghosts。 Running away。 Floating things, maybe it can be a little unnerving。 I loved the end of the book。 I did shed a few tears at the ending of this book。 I wish them well and will be reading the next book to see how it goes。 (Throwing hands in the air) What else can go wrong?

The beginning of a wonderful, page turning series you just can't put down once you begin! We are introduced in the beginning to a power couple, Lucas Aconite, the owner of a legendary company called Aconite and Sydney Coleman who was a farm girl who worked her way to the top of the company and into the heart of her boss。 And when he arranged a meeting at a very posh restaurant, she knew it was to propose。 But when she caught him sweet-talking to someone on the phone and saying he would be firing The beginning of a wonderful, page turning series you just can't put down once you begin! We are introduced in the beginning to a power couple, Lucas Aconite, the owner of a legendary company called Aconite and Sydney Coleman who was a farm girl who worked her way to the top of the company and into the heart of her boss。 And when he arranged a meeting at a very posh restaurant, she knew it was to propose。 But when she caught him sweet-talking to someone on the phone and saying he would be firing Sydney at the meeting, she couldn't believe it! It seconds, she was fired and given 2 weeks to leave their apartment。 Looking for a place to live was next to impossible, especially in the city so she had to look elsewhere。 When she found a place Called Moonlight Manor with a price she could afford to buy, she got in touch with the real estate agent, Mia and made the deal。 Little did she know this mansion had a history and came complete with 3 ghosts, a maid, a butler and a talking cat。 Now the excitement begins when trying to turn the mansion into a bed and breakfast, things go downhill。 It seems an old murder that was called as suicide was not that and the 3 ghosts implored Sydney to help find that it was a murder and who did it so their former mistress, Beatrix and the 3 ghosts can cross over。 With so many things happening and meeting her now best friend, who was helping her get her feet under her, there is so many threads to this mystery as well as trying to get her mansion making money so she can survive there you just can't put this book down once you begin! I highly recommend this book and the series that will undoubtedly will follow! I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own。 。。。more
