Review: The Spells and Caramels series is one of my favorite series. I have to admit, I missed the last book, do to the death of my mother and I really should have gone back to read that book before I dove into this one, because I was a little bit lost. This series is best enjoyed in order, and trust me you will enjoy this book and all the others.
This series is one best read in order because this series is really all about continuity, because though they are cozy in nature, there's a strong story line that is best enjoyed from the the start of the series, so that you understand the characters better.
In this book Imogen and her friends are stuck on Badlands Island. Imogen is looking for her brother Horace and early on we meet his second in command, Leo, who saves Imogen from drowning.
A diversion to a spa finds the group finding yet another dead body and there is a murder to solve.
I really love how the characters are growing as this series progresses. Oh and can I say, I just adore Iggy. Iggy is Imogen's flame. (literally). If you are a fan of the series, you'll see how each character has really come into their own in this story and you learn so much as the series goes on, especially about Imogen and Horace.
The mystery involves a spa owner who has a bit of reputation of being a black widow, and when she takes an interest in Yann, Imogen knows she has to investigate the death of a man that died in the spa, in case those rumors proved true.
There weren't a lot of suspects but it was really interesting to see how everything played out. I have to admit that once again I was surprised with who the culprit was.
What I love about this series is how its more than just the mystery. Its the character's lives and that's just as important as them solving a murder. So don't be surprised when the book goes on a little bit longer than when everything is solved.
The ending of this one will give you the warm fuzzies and have you squealing with delight.
This is a fabulous read and a great addition to the series!
