A Witch's Cove Mystery #10
The Poisoned Pink Punch
Death by poison is not a good way to go—unless the punch tastes good.
My ten-year high school reunion was supposed to be fun—seeing old friends and maybe even making a few new ones. And I was really looking forward to spending an evening with Jaxson’s brother, Drake, again. Too bad, when we entered the dance, one of Drake’s friends was lying dead on the floor covered in pink punch.
Sure Kyle Covington was a very rich investor who’d made his share of enemies, but had any of them been at the reunion?
Considering Drake’s connection with the deceased, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t do some investigating? After all, I knew most of the suspects. Out of the blue, an unexpected arrival joins forces with Drake—one with magic. Was she involved in the murder or would she help solve the case?
If you want to check up on the status of our crime solving, I’ll either be slurping down a chocolate shake at the Spellbound Diner or chatting with my aunt at the Tiki Hut Grill. Don’t worry—Jaxson and Iggy will also be on the case.

Get ready for another fantastic story from the new series, ‘A Witch's Cove Mystery’ by Vella Day! “The Poisoned Pink Punch” is the 10th fan-freaking-tastic, entertaining must read in this awesome series. I love the different plot, relatable & quirky characters with clever dialogue, plus descriptions that bring the story to life! A fun, clean, PNR entertaining page-turner with a mystery, some action and surprise twists that will keep readers glued to their seats like I was :D Even tho I always volunteer to read this author’s books, it is without any outside influences & I also buy my own Kindle books whenever I am able. So yes, I can honestly recommend this to all fans of fiction including teens and young adults! Now I can’t wait for more, but I certainly will ;)

Another delightful story in A Witch's Cove Mystery series. When a man is murdered at Glinda and Drake's 10-year high school reunion, the Pink Iguana Sleuths have a new case. Glinda, Jaxson, Rihanna, and Iggy are aided by Drake(who was friends with the deceased) and two new characters, Andorra and Elizabeth. I hope to see more of these two in future books. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me turning the pages to see what would happen next. I had the crimes solved before the reveals in the book but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fun and Fast
The characters are very interesting and intriguing! Since it is a paranormal cozy mystery, the characters have different abilities and it's fun to find out what each can do. Glinda and her partner, seemingly in life and profession, seem to be fairly new in their relationship. She also has a working rapport with the local Sheriff, who is open minded regarding magic and witches. I can usually figure out the "bad guys" fairly early in cozy mysteries, but I was good on one but wrong on one! It is a fun book to read and goes along fairly fast paced. I look forward to reading more of this author!

A high school reunion for Glinda and Drake turns out to be quite an adventure
Andorra is a classmate Glinda did not know well from back in the day, but who seems to have a connection with Drake. Wouldn't have guessed is next romantic prospect might be a lady witch. She is kin to the heral shop ladies, and has some talents that complement Glinda's talents well
A dangerous series of jealousy and revenge for multiple parties

Loved it!
I am living for this series! The new additions to their group of friends and to the mystery solving are really great. I love that Iggy has someone that he could talk to that Glinda couldn’t hear. It made her understand what everyone else felt like when she talked to Iggy around people that couldn’t hear him. I hope all these characters hang around for a long time in this series!

Always a good magical mystery from Vella Day
'The Poisoned Pink Punch' by Vella Day is another mystery in Witch's Cove. The murder of an alum at the high school reunion has everyone looking at other alums. That search broadens quickly and keeps the reader guessing. On to the next Witch's Cove mystery!

Just Okay
This wasn't bad, but it was quite boring for a lot of the book. For a mystery book it wasn't very good in terms of mystery. I definitely didn't know who the killer was going to be, but it wasn't really all that suspenseful of a mystery book. Mostly it was kind of a dull, flat story. I didn't love it hate any of the characters. They were all just kinda blah.

The Poisoned Pink Punch
A well-written paranormal cozy mystery with well developed characters and plot, and lots of red herrings. Since this was the first book of this series that I have read, I was delighted to find that the books are stand alone, not cliffhangers.

Not for me.
This was book 10 in the series, but, with all of the 5 star reviews, I thought I’d enjoy it. The story was just okay with a little too much witchcraft and not enough substance.

well written
Too many unbelievable happenings in this story, otherwise would have given a 5. Enjoyed the plot, in spite of the abundance of unrealistic scenarios!
