I absolutely love this series. Angie Fox and Verity are addictive, not to mention the delectable boyfriend and the charismatic ghost.

This is a fun cozy mystery book, utilizing ghosts (which is a nice change) to help solve it. I enjoyed it and found it to be a fun quick read.

This cozy was a lot of fun to read. After I finished I found myself going back to make sure I owned the entire series. While I think reading the series in order can lend more depth to this series, it was easy to follow without having read any other books in the series.
Fun, quirky, romantic, with an abundance of southern charm. A book all cozy lovers will enjoy.

Another great mystery from Angie Fox. I am always captivated by the world she creates and the mystery in each book. I am excited to read the next in the series to see where these characters go from here!

This was a very good read,fast and easyand it will keep you laughing and guessing.Verity get anonymous call from the Historical Society house telling her there has been a
murder,but when she goes to investigate no body can be found,so who made the call.Verity has more on her plate then a murder that didn't happen, she has to keep Frankie the German out of trouble. There's secret to be revealed, a love sick ghosts,a gangster and a skunk (Lucy).You'll not be bored ,I highly recommend this book

A cute book that I would recommend to library mystery fans. I enjoyed it.

Sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t want to read this anymore. I have realized that this is a part of the series and I haven't read any previous book in the series.
Thank you for providing the copy though. I look forward to reading some more titles of yours. Thanks!

Another fun adventure with Verity Long. I have enjoyed all the books of the Southern Ghost Hunter series so far. It seems that they just keep getting better and better. I loved this one. Angie fox writes fun characters and I always enjoys getting to share in their adventures.

Another great story. I'm really enjoying this series and this book did not disappoint. I'm so looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Each book is better than the last.

Angie Fox gives us the fifth Southern Ghost Hunter mysteries in Sweet Tea and Spirits. Verity Long sees ghosts and has joined with ghostly gangsters to find out who killed Julia at Sugarland, a heritage mansion. Her boyfriend, Deputy Sheriff Ellis Widell, is investigating the murder. Ghostly help at the mansion leads to a prime suspect. Cosy mystery with ghosts popping up everywhere. Enjoy.

Sweet Tea and Spirits is the fifth book of the Southern Ghost Hunter series by Angie Fox. I have read most, but not all of the books in this series, and think that the mystery portion of the book can stand up fine as a stand alone, the complicated relationships make reading the books as a series more satisfying than reading any of the installments as a stand alone.

Southern girl Verity Long is about as high society as her pet skunk. Which is why she’s surprised as anyone when the new head of the Sugarland social set invites her to join the "it" girls. But this is no social call. Verity’s new client needs her to go in undercover and investigate strange happenings at the group’s historic headquarters. But while spirits are whispering hints of murder, the socialites are more focused on Verity’s 1978, avocado-green Cadillac. And when Verity stumbles upon a fresh body, she's going to need the long-dead citizens of Sugarland to help her solve the crime. Good thing she has the handsome deputy sheriff Ellis Wydell on hand, as well as her ghostly sidekick Frankie. The bad thing is, the ghosts are now whispering about the end of a certain ghost hunter.

Sweet Tea and Spirits is a mystery with a few surprises along the way. I liked that Frankie and the ghost of the story got significant action. The investigation reveals much more than anyone could have imagined, and continues to complicate the relationship between Verity and Ellis' mother. I liked the mystery, and the history that is uncovered. I was honestly surprised by a couple of the revelations- while other things were more than expected. My only real disappointment here is that while Frankie become a more developed character, I feel like Verity and Ellis have not become any more developed individually or as a couple. I know it is a hard thing to balance, since I do not like when romance overwhelms the mystery in series like these, but some movement would be satisfying.

Sweet Tea and Spirits is at the same quality level as the rest of the series, and I enjoyed the read. I thought the mystery and small town business is all well handled, I just would like more character and relationship development along with the ghosts and mystery.

A very enjoyable read with great characters. Verity was my favourite character. I loved how she was. Looking forward to reading more from this author. 5*. Netgalley and season publishing.

I always enjoy reading Verity Long's adventures and Sweet Tea and Spirits is no exception. Verity is an eccentric individual to say the least, with her sidekick Frankie and hunky deputy Sheriff Ellis.

Verity Long is 100 % southern, but she is no belle. She has a pet skunk, a 78 olive green Cadillac that has definitely seen better days, and she can talk to ghosts. She helps her deputy boyfriend solve crimes with the help of her ghostly abilities.
This book was hilarious. Verity is full of charm and sass, the story entertaining and hilarious. I think this is definitly a must-read!

I don't know what it is about these Angie Fox-Verity Long mysteries, but they keep me hooked for more! I read the Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #1 last year and absolutely loved it. I was fortunate enough to earn a ARC of #5. I was hoping to read 2-4 before this, but luckily enough - it wasn't necessary! This book was its own story with just barely a continuation from its successors. Fox did a great job alluding to Verity's past mysteries and history, but this book could easily be read and understood if you did not read the other books in the series first.

This is better than your average cozy mystery. It's well-written with intriguing characters, and Fox has an ability to paint a picture without overdoing descriptions. As weird as it is to think of someone talking to/seeing ghosts, it makes the story fun, unique, and great for Halloween reading (even though these are still good no matter the time of year).

This book intertwines a few themes where the murder investigation is not always the focal point. It's a nice breath of fresh air to look into romance, Southern history, friendships, etc. while also giving you the mystery/thriller aspect. You continue to learn more about what's going on in Sugarland throughout the book, and you don't find out the answers until the very end - keeping you entertained the whole time!

Now to read the rest in this series!

*Thank you to NetGalley and Season Publishing for the Advanced Reader copy for which I have written an honest and unbiased review*

I loved it!!! Sweet Tea and Spirits is cozy mystery series that is fun, quirky and full of action and paranormal suspence that keeps you smiling and wanting more. I love Verity and her pet skunk, Frankie her ghostly gangster sidekick that helps her see into another realm, and lets not forget Ellis her handsom honey. Another great installment in the series.

Review: I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! I loved how it was a light paranormal with sweet southern charm. As being a South Carolinian I love some southern charm.😁 I absolutely loved this book. This book was hilarious, sweet and mysterious. I was turning pages late through the night and wanting more. I read this book as a standalone but I will definitely be going back to read the previous books. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a hilarious cozy mystery! Hope everyone has a fantastic day y’all!

Angie Fox has knocked it out of the park with this one. Full of quirky characters, a masterful whodunit, and laugh out loud shenanigans, this is definitely one you don't want to miss.

Fun and funny. Loved it.
