About the Book

Create your own magical moment! Grab a coffee and maybe some chocolate while you dive into this cozy mystery! 

Magda Caraganic already is a successful chocolatier. When she inherits an old stable from her aunt, she decides to convert it into a chocolate shop and café. The best contractor to help with the conversion is the man she has argued with since she was fifteen. 

The work sparks off spirit activity marked by the appearance of a mysterious ghost cat. Magda’s beautiful Birman cat, Crystal, starts to act strangely. What can it all mean? 

This is a story of friendship, friendly ghosts, cats, chocolate and true love. 

Review 

This was an interesting and fun read. Magda is a hardworking chocolatier determined to make the barn she inherited into a business, rather than making her chocolates in the small space she has. Her friend and her brother support her, and she can deal with Sam, the man she has argued with since she was 15. Only there's the black and white cat that walks through the barn door and the shadow of a woman... If you're into paranormal, this one has it all, including a makeshift seance. 

Swift does a wonderful job of weaving the various pieces together, including enlightening Magda on family history. There's tension, a bit of humor, and the plot flows seamlessly. Only reader beware, with all the descriptions of the truffles and the cheesecake, you may want to have some chocolate nearby. 

As of this post date, the book is available for $0.99! It is the first in a 7-book series.
