Snuffed Out (Magic Candle Shop Mystery)
by Valona Jones
Snuffed Out by Valona Jones is an entertaining magical cozy mystery. I loved the characters and the setting. I was hooked on the story and couldn’t put it down until the end.
~The Book Decoder
The story was enjoyable, and both the cover and the blurb brought me on board. The story, fun characters, and mystery kept me engaged. The murder mystery was twisted, well-thought-out, and complex.
~Sapphyria’s Books
With its unlikable murder victim and tense push-pull sibling relationship, I recommend SNUFFED OUT to cozy mystery readers who like a candle or bookshop-related settings or stories set in the southern US, specifically Savannah, Georgia.
~Guatemala Paula Loves to Read
Secrets, relationships, and murder make SNUFFED OUT a compelling start to a new series.
~Cozy Up With Kathy
This is the first book in a new series and the magical element in this book was something different that I had never read about before. The plot was well thought out and flowed pretty well, which made this a fast read. All in all, this was a good read and I will probably check out more in this series.
~Melina’s Book Blog
This may be my new favorite series!!! . . . Magical characters, a charming town, and enough secrets to keep things interesting makes for a fantabulous read. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Twin sisters Tabby and Sage co-own a candle shop, but will it all go up in flames in Valona Jones’ series debut, perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Bailey Cates.
30-year-old fraternal twins Tabby and Sage Winslow own The Book and Candle Shop in Savannah. Sage is hot-headed and impulsive while Tabby is calm and collected, making them the perfect partnership. When one of their customers is found murdered, from a blow to the head, that partnership is put to the test.
Blithe McAdam had been seen in a heated argument with shop clerk Gerard, which immediately makes him suspect number one. The twins are convinced of Gerard’s innocence and start digging into Blithe’s past. But no one is cooperating. The neighbor who found the body isn’t talking, medical examiner Quig won’t give any details about the autopsy, and nasty rumors begin surfacing about the drowning of Blithe’s father years earlier—evidence that could seal Gerard’s fate.
Tabby and Sage dig desperately for the truth. But it’s not only their friend who’s in peril. With the clock ticking, the twins find themselves in the grip of an unseen and deadly energy that has seeped into their midst—and in the sights of a ruthless killer.
