But will it be enough to solve the mystery. Lizzie is stubborn and wants to do the right thing. With Lizzie’s psychometry talents and Belle’s advice and nudges from the spirit world they have additional capabilities to draw upon than low level magic. Lizzie and Belle are both likeable characters that are different enough to stand out. But there’s more going on than just a missing teenager and Lizzie is soon in great danger. When a woman asks Lizzie to find her missing daughter, Lizzie agrees due to financial concerns. While this only happens once, I felt this story would be better off without Belle being a familiar and having another way for them to share power and communicate. One unfortunate part to the story is that Belle is also Lizzie’s familiar Therefore, Lizzie can order her and take away her freedom of action and choice. Additionally, instead of relying mainly on magic, Lizzie mainly relies upon her psychic abilities. Both are witches but neither wants anything to do with their families. Lizzie and her best friend Belle Kent co-own a small cafe. It’s set on the fictional Faelan Reservation in Australia and features Lizzie who is a witch. The author does a great job of meshing urban fantasy with supernatural suspense. Blood Kissed by Keri Arthur is the first book in the Lizzie Grace series.
