Every family has annoying relatives; mine just happen to be undead.My Grandmother, Agnes Bartlett, used to own Cardinal Woolsey's knitting shop in Oxford then died and left her shop to me, without informing me that she wasn't actually dead. She's a vampire and part of the world's strangest craft circle - the Vampire Knitting Club.As you might imagine, this means she's free to interfere in how I run the business that used to be hers. She's trying to teach me to knit and it's not going well. She's also trying to teach me how to be a witch, since it turns out I'm from a long line of witches. Another tiny detail about my family that no one ever told me, along with the long-lost witch cousins I recently discovered. But I'm learning. I've got my family spell book, my black cat familiar, some powers that sometimes scare me, and an interesting new group of friends. My archaeologist parents are coming to visit and bringing me a gift I could do without. So, to recap, I run a knitting shop and I can't knit. I'm a beginning witch who can't always control her cat, never mind her magic, and my love life is as tangled as the last sock I tried to knit. Oh, and for some reason, I keep getting involved in murder investigations. Good thing I have my vampire knitters to help sniff out clues. At least I've finally hired the perfect assistant, a real demon with the crochet hook. Or is she too perfect?Crochet and Cauldrons is the third book in the Vampire Knitting Club series of fun, paranormal cozy mysteries.Grab yours today!"I was up until 2 a.m. I just couldn't stop reading." ***** Five star Amazon review of Frosted Shadow, a Toni Diamond mystery."Loved it!

Overview: Another mystery novel based around a knitting shop in Oxford. While the previous books in the series have been pretty straight-forward mysteries in the style of Midsomer Murders with the magic elements largely as comic relief, the mystery this time actually centres around magical elements.
After 1st Reading: I really enjoyed this short book and while it's a little more tense than previous entries, it is still a bit of escapist fun.
After 2nd Reading: I really enjoyed this book. Having read up to book 13 I can say that this is the creepiest and most halloweenish of the series. Don't get me wrong, this is still mostly cozy reading with a sense that it'll all be OK because everyone will pull together.... but right at the climax there was a serious moment of....but will they? This is also possibly the most supernatural of the books with magic and ancient secrets as basically the entire plot.
So, not as cozy as the other books, but actually really good with an ending I loved. An excellent read for halloweenish time.
Friends, this series is so fun on audio! Well written and quite cozy indeed. Recommended. ❤️
