I recently won an advanced reading copy of "The Witch on Twisted Oak", by Susan C. Muller in exchange for an honest review.  I knew from the summary that I'd enjoy this one - I love mysteries - but with the supernatural elements that were added in as well, I got a little giddy.The double bonus, however, was a well thought out story with a few twists and turns added for good measure.Susan has a very straightforward way of writing her characters that piqued my interest from the get go.  I also loved the twist of how she began the story from an unexpected POV.  I won't tell you more than that, it'll ruin the surprise. ;)What kept me reading this book, though, was my need to figure out who done it before the end.  Susan did a great job of trickling information to the reader without giving too much away.  But more than that, I wanted to learn about Marquez and all his issues, I was rooting for him to finally make a move on Tessa and absolutely fell in love with Marquez's mamacita.I've been a mystery fan for a long time.  This one did not disappoint in my opinion.  It's clear that Susan loves them as much as I do and her take on writing them is fresh and fun.  If you like trying to solve murders in the midst of reading a love story, go check her out.Favorite quote:  "Lucky me, a warlock.  A freakishly tall, Romanian, gypsy warlock."
