Review: Witch Chocolate Bites (Bewitched By Chocolate #4) by H.Y. Hanna

In Canada


Witch Chocolate Bites is the 4th book in the Bewitched by Chocolate series by H.Y. Hanna.  
With cozy mysteries, when you start getting further into the series, things can sometimes get stale. NOT with this series.  It just keeps getting better and better!  

When I'm reading this series (as well as the Oxford Tearoom Series) I feel like I am visiting with old friends again. I am always anxious to see what some of my favourite characters are up to this time!  I also love how each series mentions the other in some way.  

I always write that I'm really not a huge fan of the paranormal, but this series just does it so well.  I'm not turned off by it whatsoever, in fact I find it very charming, and full of lots of laughs too.  I'm glad that Uncle Viktor is featured more in this installment.  I've liked his character right from the beginning and hope he's featured a bit more in future reads.  I can't praise this series enough, honestly.  The way this one ended (I won't give any spoilers, you need to read to find out for yourself) has me really anxious to get to the next one! My jaw dropped while reading the last and I thought.....no! The story can't be over NOW!! 

Seriously if you haven't read this series yet, you're really missing out on a fantastic cozy series. It has everything a good cozy does and you're doing yourself a disservice by not checking it out. So... go do it.  Really! 


I received a copy of this book from the author as an ARC. My review is completely my own thoughts and feelings. Thank you H.Y. Hanna for yet another awesome cozy mystery!

It's been a while....

It's been a long time, way too long in fact... since I have updated my blog. There has been lots going on in life, and things just had to take some priority.  

I've managed to keep up with some reading but am still behind in my personal reading challenges.  Hopefully the last half of the year I'll have everything back on track and back up to speed and where I want to be.  

I have quite a few books that I want to post reviews on, and though it will take a bit of time, I will get them done. I've been given some really great ARCs to read and want to get my reviews posted, they really deserve them! 

I've also managed to misplace my Kindle *cries*  and I'm hoping that it turns up soon. I don't like trying to read ebooks on my computer, it's just too hard to curl up in bed and read that way lol 


So... time to get some reviews posted!

Happy New Year!

Well, hello 2017! And Happy New Year to you all! 

I know I haven't posted in a long while... but life got super busy. Not an excuse, but it is the reason.  Shortly after my last post I was hired full time in a management position, and life became a whirlwind of learning, and stress, and fun and business and all that goes along with it. I was getting used to working the 'mid-shift' which is 1030am until 7pm daily and I was exhausted by the time I got home. I was still able to get some reading in but, I really fell behind in so many things.  And then Christmas season happened and the rest... well, you know how it is! 

I am happy to say though that I was able to complete my 100 books read challenge on Goodreads! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get it finished with my free reading hours cut so drastically but I did manage :) I"m not too sure how I fared off with the other challenges but I will try to get that organized this week sometime and see where I landed! I plan on doing the Cozy Mystery Challenge again for 2017 along with THE Book Club on Facebook reading challenge though I've cut my goals down accordingly to 60 books read this year instead of 100. And if I surpass it, well... it's just a bonus! 

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and SAFE New Year's Eve.  Here's to a wonderful year filled with great characters, fun plots and excellent reads!  I've already finished my first book for the year... time to get some organizing done!
