I recently reviewed the book previous to this in the Madelyn Alt mystery series. We return to Stony Mill, Indiana and newly found witch Maggie O’Neill as she recuperates from a broken leg (a major part of the previous book’s storyline). She is back to work but while the cast has slowed her down physically changes in her life are occurring at breakneck speed. 

In this volume Maggie is hard at work trying to figure out her future. Trying to understand and accept that she must soon say good bye to her bestfriend Stef who is leaving for another location with her fiancee in the near future which in turn has her questioning her current home (a basement suite in the same building her friend is vacating) which is currently inaccessible due to cast. This conundrum has her hunting for a new apartment even though her boyfriend has offered up his home as a permanent solution. 

It is on this hunt for new digs that we run into the mystery. There is a mysterious Lodge with the men only members that it seems like the most random collection of individuals are a part of… the tension between Maggie and her ex boyfriend and her ex boyfriend and her current love interest… and now Grandma’s voice is feeling less like a voice of conscience and more like a potential haunting??? 

With a body found, an office destroyed and an apartment rental agreement left unsigned… well Maggie’s problems are only beginning. Add in a splash of magic and a hot love interest, a lovely lady boss and of course a laundry list of other characters and this book is a must read. Just be sure to read the others in the series first! I really cannot wait for the next book to come out!
