Rating: 4.5 ✨🪄

I dearly love this series and wish the last 9 books came in a box set much like the first 10 books did, as it makes binging them so much easier. 

Each novel is approximately 19 chapters or give or take, so it’s easy to read one or two books a day. And they blend together beautifully, with each one picking up from the events of the previous story.

What I love about this is that they can be enjoyed on multiple levels. Chase has crafted terrific murder mysteries that Ember gets involved with , and the investigations are intriguing and often lead to a conclusion that’s surprising and satisfying. 

But it’s the personal relationships and dynamics that drive the series and make the characters so strong and compelling.  Each story and book reveals more about Ember, the Rose family and including the seemingly rigid Aunt Hyacinth. 

Even the familiar dynamics, like those between Ember and Raoul, aren’t the same as those I’ve come to expect from other writers and fantasy universes.  It’s just different and that makes me take even closer note on everything else in this series.

Love it. And binge reading it way too quickly. 

A highly recommended book and series to be read in the order they are written in.

Welcome to Starry Hollow, where spells were made to be broken.

When a gaming tournament comes to Starry Hollow, everyone is thrilled with the influx of tourists–until a player ends up dead. Meanwhile, Ember makes an important discovery in connection with her mysterious ancestor and the Rose family deals with a visit from an old relative who gets under Aunt Hyacinth’s skin, which means everybody’s tip-toeing on eggshells to avoid her wrath. Thanks to the many distractions, Ember fails to notice that Raoul is involved in something over his furry head.

Can Ember stop the madness and identify the killer before the end of the tournament or will it be game over? 

Magic & Misdeeds is the eleventh book in the Starry Hollow Witches paranormal cozy mystery series.
