Book Review: ‘A Hex For Danger: An Enchanted Bay Mystery’ By Esme Addison

Bellamy Bay is preparing for it’s annual Mermaid Festival when someone is found dead. For Alex who returned home in the first book in the series it’s another mystery for her to solve. The town has Magicals (which she is) and Mundanes (normal humans) and Alex is still learning about her powers. When a muralist named Neve Ryland is found dead in the office of Jasper Collins, Alex’s cousin Celeste is the prime suspect. She and Jasper are dating and had a terrible fight before the body was found. And Celeste has been seen around town following Neve. Alex thinks she’s innocent and she her magical family and friends get together to try and find the real killer and of course that puts her own life in danger.

A really fun, magical novel that kind of reminds you of Harry Potter. Small town mysteries are a lot of fun to read, with their quirky characters and small town appeal. A good book to read at the pool, lake or beach this July.

You can pick up A Hex For Danger in stores on Tuesday, July 13th from Crooked Land Books.
