Hex Marks the Spot: Review

Hex Marks the Spot

by Madelyn Alt

Product Description

While her boss becomes entranced with a beautiful armoire at the countywide craft bazaar, Maggie can't help noticing the Amish craftsman who made it. Though his clothes may be plain, he himself is more handsome than a man sporting a jawline-only beard has any right to be. And he seems pretty aware that the ladies love his...furniture. But when the hunky craftsman turns up dead with a strange hex symbol near his corpse, Maggie wonders if the craft involved is the witchy kind.

Third in the series, and just as good as the first! Although this one was a tad easy for me to figure out.... maybe I am the next " Murder She Wrote", a much younger version of course.

I love how fast these books are, good fillers between heavy books.

I am going to give this book 4 stars.

A Charmed Death: Review

A Charmed Death by Madelyn Alt

Maggie O'Neill was just a small-town girl, stuck in a dead end job- until she started working at Enchantments, Stony Mill's finest mystical antique shop.


Now Maggie is Indiana's newest witch. Learning to cope with her newfound powers is tough enough, but add to that keeping the stock at Enchantments organized and remembering to tape reruns of her favorite show, Magnum, P.I., and Maggies' got a full plate.


But when she witnesses an altercation between a local teenage princess and another customer in Enchantments - and later the girl turns up dead- she feels compelled to investigate. Though the police are at a loss, Maggie has some tricks up her sleeve, or to be more specific, some spells, charms, and mystical intuitions. And with the help of her boss ( and favorite witch) Felicity Dow, Maggie is spellbound and determined to get to the bottom of this murder.

Another fun and fast read for Madelyn Alt.

I am going to give this book 4 out of 5 stars

The Trouble with Magic: Review

The Trouble With Magic (Bewitching Mysteries, No. 1)

By

Madelyn Alt

From the Back Cover

Double, double, toil and murder...
Bringing a little culture to Stony Mill, Indiana, Enchantments is one of the area’s finest antique stores. But shop clerk Maggie O’Neill and her employer Felicity Dow do more than conjure up curios for the locals—they each possess a talent for spellbinding sleuthing . . .

Bored with her office job, Maggie jumps at the opportunity to work at Enchantments. She was a little weirded out when Felicity described herself as a witch, but if her boss wants to play with broomsticks and cauldrons, where’s the harm? However, Maggie’s first day on the job may turn out to be her last when Police question Felicity in the murder of her estranged sister.

With everyone in town proclaiming Felicity’s guilt faster than the Salem Witch trials, Maggie finds herself wondering if she’ll also be tied to the stake. And lately, she’s been receiving messages on a spiritual frequency guiding her to prove Felicity’s innocence—and to embrace her own "charmed" life.

First in the new Bewitching Mystery series!

I thought this book was a light read with just enough mystery to keep me reading more! I look forward to reading more of Madelyn Alt's books, including the other's in this series.

I am giving this book 4 stars out of 5!
