Feast of the Mother – Miranda Honfleur and Nicolette Andrews

Not a bad little book. Brygida is a witch, living outside a little village in a vaguely Medieval Eastern Europe, with her mothers. They hold themselves apart from the villagers, until one day, a handsome young man ventures to Brygida’s lake. He invites her to the village for the harvest feast. And while Brygida is there, a young woman is murdered.

Brygida now must find out who was responsible – she’s now the Reaper of Death, responsible to bring the guilty party to the rusalkas of the lake for justice. Of course, it’s her handsome new friend who’s the main suspect.

This was a diverting little story – seemed a bit short for a full book, but the set up was good for more stories – I’ll be interested to see where they go with other aspects of Slavic mythology.
