When someone begins to rob the local farmers of a fertilizer component that can be made into bombs, Abby and Ophelia get drawn into the mystery, especially after a handsome stranger enters the library introducing himself as a fertilizer salesman. With or without her physic powers, Ophelia realizes that he is not what he seems and denies the attraction he seems to feel for her. During a quiet walk in the woods, Ophelia stumbles upon a dead body and, like it or not, she now becomes involved.

I quite enjoyed this series that shows witches as something a bit outside our normal preconceived notions. Abby is a delightful grandmother who revels in using her Appalachian-style witchery to help others and keep her loved ones safe. She has her hands full with her unhappy granddaughter Ophelia, who wants nothing more than to deny her own birthright. The characters are quite enjoyable and the atmosphere of the small town is well conveyed. I am looking forward to more from Ms. Damsgaard.
