ANNABEL CHASE

Wands In a lifetime.
This is an adorable series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the books in the set. What fascinated me the most was Emma Hart’s ability to see the ghost and her funny banter with her familiar, an owl. She’s brilliant, has a great sense of humor and brave enough to fight for her friends’ sake. This is one of the best paranormal cozies I have ever read.

Book one
