One Tequila

 In Tricia O'Malley's One Tequila, the first installment in the Althea Rose cozy mystery series, this delightful debut will introduce into interesting and captivating characters. Althea Rose lives on Tequila Key, an island off the Florida Keys, and lives in the small town. She's a psychic and co-owns a tarot shop with her best friend, Luna Lavelle, a white witch. But she couldn't predict what she stumbled into when a new man enters her town and steals her heart. Talk about a crystal rock and a tricky place. Her friend and diving instructor Trace has feelings for her. And that's put her into a bind and a orb-spinning love triangle. Besides reading fortunes and learning a new spell or two, her best friend Luna is arrested for her new lover's watery murder, the same corpse she came across onto in a dive. And the police chief is nothing more than an annoying and suspicious pain in the butt.  To help her friend get out of a jam, she would delve into the truth to find out more about Luna's lover and a thread to lead into police corruption to set her free and make things right.

 This was an enjoyable and entertaining new cozy series that deals with tarot cards and psychic readings and everything in between. I cared for Althea and how she would do anything to save her best friend, though she'd gotten herself into a hot pickle with a tricky love triangle. I loved her willingness to learn white magic to cast a spell to become like Luna, while she had tricks up her sleeve. The other  characters like Beau, Trace, and Miss Elva were all a hoot. I loved the Tequila Key Island location off the island, which was picturesque and eye-catching for the scenic settings on the island. The theme of the story is greed can get you into trouble along with your dirty secrets from your past.

 If you love a great cozy mystery with bits of humor, non-stop action, plenty of drama, and shocking twists and turns on every page, you'll love sinking your teeth into this new cozy mystery series debut. Check out One Tequila and raise your glass today!
