A captivating blend of mystery, paranormal elements, and magic. The writing is atmospheric, suspenseful and engaging. The pacing is a little slow at times, but the rich character development and the intriguing blend of supernatural and mystery elements more than make up for it.
Many thanks to Black Rose Writing and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

There's too many cozy mystery featuring witches to the point you risk of mixing them. This is one of those that I thoroughly enjoyed and loved the mix of fantasy, mystery and the suspence
The characters were fully developed, and the plot was twisty and surprising. A bit slow at the beginning
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A good story. Felt it more cozy than a thriller with supernatural elements Good characters and plotting but could have cut the overall timeline. Thanks to Black Rose Writing and Netgalley for a review ARC

Thank you to NetGalley, Black Rose Writing, & to Sherri L. Dodd for this ARC of Murder Under Redwood Moon! I I haven't read a good paranormal book in a while and this one was a great story to get me back into the genre! I am also a fan of murder mysteries and I do think this is a pretty good one!

This is a very easy book to read! The story itself is easy to follow and that's tricky to do when you're bringing in things like supernatural elements. Sometimes I find that complicates stories and the plot or magic systems get convoluted. That was absolutely not the case here! I'm pretty impressed by how well Dodd was able to blend the paranormal into a mystery and have it all work! Also the characters are so well-written! I really enjoyed Arista and I think others will too!

This book is definitely a thriller, though I think it could've been a bit more suspenseful at times. That being said though, if you're looking for a less suspenseful murder mystery, then this is the book for you! It's a quick read, and definitely a book I'd recommend to anyone looking for an intriguing & witchy murder mystery!
