Clarissa is
Liana’s best friend. She’s jobless and indebted to a family home that she can’t
let go. Of course, this story has another cat—an annoying stray of a cat that
won’t go away. Again, there’s too much cat in the story. Too much talking to
it, too much of it just hanging around. Story was slow.
When the
murder happens and the big shot reporter comes sniffing around, Clarissa throws
herself into the investigation to prove her journalistic skills. Things get
better after a lightning strike encounter and a strange girl pointing out that
her “aura has a touch of magic.” Cool! Afterwards, the investigation becomes
much more interesting than the cake series, especially after finding out that
Clarissa is a witch. However, there was hardly no magic involved. Probably
because she just barely found out and had no practice in the craft.
Overall,
this was a good start to the series, but I thought it was a little slow and it
could’ve used more magic. And what was up with the double title, Happiness is a Smoking Gun?
My rating: 3 stars
