Funny and Entertaining
Dollycas's Thoughts
It's time for Kailyn's 10-year class reunion. While excited to see her friends she knows a prom night tragedy is sure to be on everyone's mind. The evening is well underway when a scream splits the air. Kailyn rushes toward the scream and finds one of her friends in shock at finding another friend dead. She quickly wonders if this death is connected to the one on prom night. Another eerie "accident" tells Kailyn that it is and she finds herself quickly absorbed in finding answers and catching a killer.
Along with the murder mystery, Kailyn and Tillie are also caught up with Merlin and his wizardry and his strange selection for a familiar.
The past revisits the future in this latest Abracadabra Mystery. A prom night accident has driven someone to commit murder and attempt another. Was it really an accident? Who all was involved? Why is someone now retaliating?
Ms. Pape has penned quite a mystery that is filled with plot twists galore. Thankfully Kailyn has a little magick to help her investigate this one along with a terrific boyfriend by her side. Aunt Tilly and Merlin help out too. Kailyn's deceased mother and grandmother "pop in" a couple of times too. The final twists were surprising. This was a whodunit that kept me guessing the whole way.
I love the characters in this series. They are well developed and have really grown over the course of the series. Kailyn is still trying to get a handle on all of her powers and time is running out on her learning everything she needs to know. Her romantic life is in a comfortable place now that she has shared her secret with Travis. Tillie is a wonderful support and very wise. Then there is Merlin, he is my favorite. He always brings the funny and this time he almost brings the house down when he tries to conjure up a MARMOT!!!
Oh! my stars! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! I started reading and read the entire book in one sitting.
This Magick Marmot took on something that had been brewing for 10 years and was written in a fun and entertaining way. Sharon Pape uses humor with such precision. I do believe this is the funniest book in this series yet and they have all been filled with humor.
I do recommend reading the series in order for maximum enjoyment but they can all be read on their own. I believe once you have read one you will want to read them all.
