Aly doesn't believe in psychics. Too bad she just had a vision.
Future scientists don't see things that aren't real. Aly's got enough on her plate, with finishing her degree and taking care of her nephew and starting her new job at the antique store while drooling over the owner's gorgeous son. No time for visions.
Alas, the universe doesn't care what Aly believes. When she turns 21, she starts to feel psychic impressions left on objects. A disorienting power for someone surrounded by antiques. Then cranky customer Earl is killed, and Aly's new boss Olive is the prime suspect-not to mention the only person who understands Aly's gifts. Who hated Earl enough to kill? Police would rather make a quick arrest than investigate, so it's up to Aly to clear Olive's name.
Shady Grove is reeling from the first murder in decades. If Aly can get her hands on the right object, she'll know what happened. Can she learn to control her visions before the killer sets their sights on her?

Show moreAda Bell knew you'd be reading this. Okay, well, she knew someone would be. (Hi, Mom!) That's pretty much the extent of her psychic powers. A life-long mystery buff, Ada has devoured everything from Murder, She Wrote to Nancy Drew to Psych!, so she was pretty much destined to end up here. Ada loves Scooby Doo, superhero movies, STEM heroines, and cake. Mmm, cake.
"Ada Bell delivers a tangled mystery seen through the complex
character of Aly who must find a balance between her roles as an
aunt, a sister, a student, an employee, and now a psychic
sleuth...Mystic Pieces is a charming, humorous, and original
mystery that weaves a tale of murder and self-discovery with heart,
family, and psychic visions." - Reader's Favorite
"This was a solid start to this paranormal cozy mystery series. I
had fun reading this one. I liked the inclusion of Aly's psychic
powers and how she tried to use them to help solve the mystery. It
made sense how she got involved and how she went about figuring out
who had done it. And I liked how natural and realistic instead
forced some of the coincidences felt. The mystery kept me guessing,
although the murderer wasn't too big of a surprise there were some
nice twists along the way and I was never quite sure who the
murderer was. I liked Aly as a main character and reading about her
and her powers. I liked the side characters and how each had their
own personality that made it easy to remember. All in all I really
enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series!"
- Lola's Book Reviews "A cute and cozy introduction to the quirky
and devoted characters, Mystic Pieces is the perfect first
installment to the Shady Grove Psychic Mystery Series." - Literary
