Elderflower Tea Shop is next door to Cardinal Woolsey's, the yarn shop Lucy runs and home to the late-night Vampire Knitting Club. The tea shop owners are a pair of octogenarian spinsters and old family friends, so Lucy wants to help clear up the mystery that's keeping their shop closed. But murder isn't the only issue troubling the Miss Watts. A man has come between them. Miss Florence Watt is being romanced by an old flame, one Mary Watt distrusts. In between figuring out who, among his many enemies, might have poisoned the unpleasant Colonel Montague, Lucy's trying to brush up on her magic spells before the Wiccan potluck dinner her witchy cousin insists she attend. However, she's still settling into being a witch and since she botched a spell and blew up her kitchen, she's taking the magic slowly. Her knitting endeavors aren't much better. Between purling when she should knit and dropping so many stitches her hand-knit scarf looks like it was attacked by giant moths, there are days Lucy thinks she'll pack it all in and move back to Boston. She might, except she'd miss her beloved undead grandmother, her new friends, one very sexy vampire, and a local detective who is very much alive.… (mehr)

“This is such a cozy shop, it makes me want to take up knitting.” “You should. It’s a very relaxing hobby.” I don’t know how I kept a straight face, saying things like that. Knitting was a diabolical exercise in frustration.”

This was a fun book. I like the mystery aspect, but I enjoy getting to know the characters even more. There are a few typos, but it doesn't take away much from the overall story. I will definitely continue on with the series in Kindle Unlimited. ( )

The first book has such a nice flow but this one is just going in circles endlessly. I am convinced the first 85% of this book could've been written in 50 pages or less. It's just constant repetition of the same thoughts, the same suspicions over and over and over again.
The grief depicted looks more like the excessively overdone kind I would expect in a stage comedy than genuine grief.
Literally everyone is knitting. I wouldn't be surprised by knitting in oxford being more popular than any sport judging by this book.

None of these problems were overly visible in the first book.

It seems like there just went less care in this book. ( )

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler free way. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. Thank you.
After an older man shows up on Lucy's shop asking about one of the sisters that run the teashop across the street. Her curiosity gets the best of her and Lucy takes Rafe over for tea so she can spy on what she hopes to be a budding romance. But when a poisoning happens to one of the other customers in the tea shop, it is soon discovered that it was a murder. Now Lucy and the vampires work together to try and get information to find who killed him and why.
The second book of the series I think was better than the first. I like the cozy setting that the book has. The whole shop and nearby area feels like a sweet and cozy place to be. I already crochet, but reading these books makes me want to give knitting a try. I didn't guess the murderer till right around the time I was suppose to. For that alone I gave it an extra star. I love when a book surprises you and the villian isn't obvious. If not for that though I probably would have only given the book a 3 star. While its entertaining, it is pretty forgettable. I'll continue the series though as I think it has the potential to be great. I think the character just need some more developement so I can really connect with them.
How I choose my rating:
1* Did not finish, or hated it but forced myself to finish.
2** Didn't really like it. Didn't hate it but not sure why I finished it other then for some closure.
3*** I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread again ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss.
4**** I really liked this book. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining. I might reread this again, and I will finish the series. (If part of one) I would recommend to those I know hold interest in this books content.
5***** I loved this book. I found little to no issues with it at all. I will definitely be rereading this and probably more than once. I will finish the series and reread it multiple times. (If part of one) I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!!

This cozy mystery with a fantasy background continues to be fun to read. The series is centered around a person who has just found out she has witchcraft in her blood and a yarn shop to run -- and dexterity around yarn is something that is definitely not in her blood. And then there are vampires, rather nice ones, that are part of the background.

While a part of me doesn't exactly approve of "sweet" vampires, preferring them to be more wicked (praise be, they don't sparkle!), the mystery is the heart of the book. And this one is a cracking good one, leaving me guessing just who did what and why. And yes, I went out and bought the sequel.

If you like cozy mysteries with a bit of the paranormal, then this series is excellent so far. While this could be read on its own, the reader would do better to start at the beginning. ( )
