Hazel Bennett is just one hexed haystack away from a nervous breakdown.Between learning to control her magical abilities, forging a partnership with her snarky familiar-to-be, navigating a complicated relationship with her old high school flame, and wrangling an ornery unicorn running amok on Bennett Farms, she’s stretched thin.To make matters worse, somebody had to go and get murdered. Twice.Now … and get murdered.
Twice.
Now it’s up to Hazel to investigate the mind-boggling murder and find out what the victim did to earn a duplicate death. But that the means leaving behind her quaint New England village and venturing through the portal hidden deep in the Tanglewood–and stepping into the strange, mystical world that lies just beyond.
The threshold she’s long been forbidden to cross.
Talk about double, double toil and trouble.

Spiders, spiders! I hate spiders and there was a werespider in this book! Hazel is coming along really slooowwwllyy with her training and making Clancy her familiar. But, when Clancy is told that someone he know has been murdered in Quark, well Hazel has to rely on what she knows to help Clancy find out what happened. Paired up with a witch on probation the two of them begin trying to figure out what is going on in both their worlds. Secrets and deceit abound and I was blindsided as to who the werespider was. I totally guessed wrong! Hazel is a fun character and I liked how Tyler is becoming a more important person in the books.

Hazel has come to terms with her knack. She and Clancy, her not-a-cat non-familiar, travel to Quark in response to a surprising tragedy. E. L. Wilder has an upbeat writing style that I enjoyed and I could not have predicted the ending.

Hazel is the heir to a strong witch power that lies in her family. But she is a late bloomer and still struggles with the basics – and with forming the bond of familiar with Clanceym a creature that had familiar ties to her family over generations.
While they are practicing Clancey receives a message that one of his closest friends had been murdered and as he does not trust the town council of the mirror town full of magic, he is asking Hazel to help him find the murderer.
With that a new chapter begins for Hazel, learning a lot about herself, her magic and a serious problem facing her world as well as the mirror world.
The walls separating the two worlds have fissures and people going too near become split in two or worse, become something new entirely.
Figuring out how to stop the fissures and a killer, who is on the lose in both worlds keeps her busy.
A wonderful story with lots of original ideas and quite surprising endings that kept me enjoying the book to the very end.
