A Curse, a Coven and a Canine

A Paranormal Animal Cozy Mystery (Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery, Book 2)

By: Jeannie Wycherley

Narrated by: Victoria Meakin

Toby the dog can smell death.

When someone assaults his elderly neighbor and leaves her for dead, Spellbound Hound Toby is devastated.

For one thing, he’s worried who’ll keep him in cheesy dog treats now, but more than that, all indications are that Miranda Dervish - also known as The Pointy Woman - is behind this latest atrocity.

The woman who murdered Old Joe and hexed Toby is back!

Together with his human, the journalist Clarissa Page, Toby sets out to investigate Miranda.

What is it she wanted from the neighbor?

Scarily, as they begin to uncover Miranda’s mysterious past, her evil behavior begins to escalate, and Clarissa finds her own existence under attack.

In a race against time, Toby and Clarissa have the odds stacked against them, but assistance comes from some rather eccentric allies in the form of the Blackdown Hills Squirrel Community, and a witch...who lives in a hedge.

A Curse, a Coven and a Canine is book two of this brand-new paranormal cozy dog mystery series from the best-selling author of the beloved Wonky Inn books. Audiences are loving these fantastic feel-good, warmhearted, and humorous stories about a hexed dog and his witchy best friend.

The first three of the Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery series are best heard in order.

Binging this entire series...

I had to start this one immediately upon finishing book 1, ‘Aint Nothing But A Pound Dog’, not because there was a cliffie or anything like that. Just because I loved it so much, and needed more of Toby and his world.

Incidentally though, this does pretty much pick up where 1 left off, they’ve got a mystery to solve and of course, others arise along the way. This installment also gives the reader lots of lore for this world.

More lovable characters were introduced in this one, and I do hope some of them make appearances throughout the series. There is just so much to love here—this might be my favorite cozy series, as much as I love the authors’ others. Really tough call.

Either way, 4.5 stars.

Cannot recommend this series enough!



🎧 Audio:
Truly incredible. What brilliant acting. Overall sound quality was also flawless. 5 stars.

Enjoyable

This was the second in the series, and I enjoyed it as much as the first; who doesn't love a magical hound? I listened to this one on audio, which I liked. The mystery is getting closer to being explained :)

Clarissa and Toby

after old joe's neighbor is attacked Clarissa and Toby investigate what the pointy women (Miranda) is after. While doing so though turns Clarissa's world upside down.

Enchanting Sequel That Delivers!

I absolutely loved this second installment in the series! A Curse, a Coven, and a Canine picks up seamlessly where the first book left off, diving straight back into the magical mayhem with a pace that kept me hooked from start to finish. Jeannie Wycherley’s storytelling is rich and immersive, with just the right blend of mystery, humor, and heart. The characters continue to grow in compelling ways, and the plot twists kept me guessing.

Victoria Meakin’s narration is spot-on—her performance brings the story to life with warmth and charm, perfectly capturing the quirky tone and magical atmosphere. I didn’t want it to end and now I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!

Highly recommended for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with a touch of whimsy!
