Blurb:
Something old. Something new. Something wicked stole the groom.
I’ve faced ghosts, curses, vampires, and more magical disasters than any witch should reasonably survive. So, wedding planning? That should be a breeze.
But planning my wedding to Chief John Reece? That might be the trouble that proves even my magic has limits.
All I want is to marry the man I love without turning our big day into a supernatural spectacle. Unfortunately, “normal” has never been my strong suit. I talk to ghosts. My cat talks back. And half the guest list could levitate the wedding cake if things get boring.
Then John tells me his family doesn’t know he’s marrying a witch. “Could you maybe put the kibosh on the magic for one day, Sidney?”
Before I can decide if I’m hurt or furious, John vanishes. When he suddenly returns, my every magical instinct screams that something is wrong. The man wearing John’s face has his voice and his lopsided smile.
But he isn’t my fiancé.
With the wedding only days away, I’ll need Ada-Mae, the Quipley’s Magic School crew, and my snarky familiar with very strong breakfast opinions to help me uncover who stole the real John and why.
Unless I can solve the mystery before the vows, “until death do us part” may come true far too soon.
Curl up with Until Hex Do Us Part and join Sidney, Mojo, and the Crystal Beach crew for a twisty paranormal cozy mystery where nothing—and no one—is quite what they seem.
My Review:
Until Hex Do Us Part is another fantastic installment in the Crystal Beach series by Karen McSpade. It is filled with magic, twists, and turns that kept me hanging on every single word. This book was so much fun to read!
I absolutely love grandmother Ada-Mae, and of course, Sidney and John too. Sidney and John are making plans for their upcoming wedding when John suddenly disappears. Sidney and Ada-Mae search everywhere and even try using locator spells, but they have no luck.
The night before he vanished, John admitted to Sidney that he hadn't told his family she is a witch. Sidney is understandably upset by this news, and John leaves on a sour note, disappearing into the night without a trace.
What happened to John? Where is he? Did he leave on his own, or was magic involved? If it was magic, who is behind it? Who would want to hurt John—or maybe even Sidney? The mystery and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat as I waited for the clues to be revealed. What a wild ride!
I highly recommend grabbing a copy of Until Hex Do Us Part to find out what happens!
