I received an arc of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 
I thought that this book was good, but it didn't really suck me in. I quite enjoyed the beginning where we are introduced to our main character Violet. Her grandmother has recently passed away and she is dealing with that along with running her own crystal shop. Fiona and Zoe were quite the characters, and I liked that there is a whole nother world where witches live. I also liked that after Violet is brought in for questioning in a murder we get to find out that a lot of the people that live in town are magical as well. I do wish that we could have gotten more about them, It was just kind of mentioned then nothing else really came of it. 
It also seemed that Violet couldn't really trust anyone in town, even her best friend and boyfriend were hiding things. 
I really didn't have any idea who the actual murderer was. Cate Conte did a wonderful job keeping me guessing. I do wish we could have gotten a bit more after the murderer was revealed. The person was caught, then in the next chapter Violet is becoming a part of the witch counsil.. We didn't get to see what led up to that decision so I felt like I missed something. Then Zoe and Fiona are moving into Violets grandmas house, and everything just seemed infinished I guess? im not sure exactly. 
But I do think that I liked it enough to check out the next book in the series and see how I feel about it.

Murder isn’t always crystal-clear . . . especially when the prime suspect discovers she’s a witch. Violet Mooney owns The Full Moon crystal shop in quaint North Harbor, Connecticut. Still grieving her beloved grandmother’s recent unexpected death, she takes comfort in her fat orange cat Monty and her work. Not everyone in town is thrilled with her business, however. When disagreeable town councilwoman Carla Fernandez picks a fight over Violet’s "voodoo shop," the two have a very public confrontation. Of course, when Carla turns up dead, Violet gets little sympathy from the police as suspect #1. But the shock of two policemen showing up at her door pales in comparison to the sudden appearance of her estranged mother Fiona and a surprise sister, Zoe. What Fiona reveals will rock her world and her sense of self—and reawaken her long-dormant mysterious power. Good thing. She’s gonna need it . . . Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com
