⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Things take a mysterious and dangerous turn when Officer Reece and his deputy set a trap to catch the killer, and Sidney volunteers to be the bait.  You can bet if Ada-Mae catches wind of this, it will be off with this new witch's hat!  Good thing her grandmother is busy with the mini-golf competition and figuring out who to break the mischievous spell on her daughter.

When Sidney discovers something mysterious brewing at the Mystic Dunes, things take an unexpected turn for the worse.  A nexus of magic more powerful than anything Ada-Mae has seen before holds the secret...if they dare to enter it.  Can Ben and Gramp's ghosts help them travel through the portal?  Who will be waiting for them on the other side?  Can Sidney stir up her own magic spell to save her family before it's too late?

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

In this fifth and final episode of the Crystal Beach Magic Mysteries, Sidney finds herself in hot water.  A lot of it.  And none of it is her own making.  First, Officer Reece is hoping that the person who wants the USB drive will try and purchase it during the mini-golf invitational.  But when things seem to go awry more and more, Sidney looks for another way to save her mother, and, perhaps. all those she cares for that are around her.

When she teams up with her grandmother Ada-Mae, Ernie, and Judd, it might take more than a witch's spell to discover the truth.  Even if she has help from the ghosts of her granddad and late boyfriend Ben.  Even if she has help from her cat, Mojo.  (Whom I absolutely love in this episode).  Nothing anyone could even think of occurs, and it may take quick thinking and the help of an unexpected source to save them all...

I hesitate to say more as I do not want to give anything important away.  Let me just say that this was so interesting that I read it through quickly, in order to find out what happens in the climax.  You will not be disappointed.  It has more action than before, and things happen quickly.  Questions we've had in previous books are answered, and that's the big thing.  All I can say (in all humor) is that I love cats and wish Mojo were mine!  If you've enjoyed the previous episodes, you will love this book.  Highly recommended.

I received an advance copy of this book from the author and BookSprout but this in no way influenced my review.
