And they’re having no luck finding the magickal Four Stone either. No matter which way they turn, who they ask, or where they search, they’re … search, they’re thwarted.
Down to their last few pence, an anonymous tip off and a chance encounter with a stranger in the park sets them on their way to a dramatic final showdown. On the way, they’ll have to work out just who is friend… and who is foe.

Bark Side of the Moon #3 – For me the story took a while to kick into gear, which it finally did and did not slow down. More characters, more secrets and more adventures made this an intriguing story with Karma doing her bit. Still well written, well thought out and full of a variety of characters, which when mixed with this talented storyteller’s ability to describe her world made an interesting read. I found this book on Booksprout. 4*
Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery Series:
Ain’t Nothing but a Pound Dog #1 – What a fun book, after you get past the sad start. The storylines are intriguing and I see where this will be an interesting, entertaining and witch-filled series. I enjoy the rapport between the granddaughter and the spellbound dog. Their actions, dialog and love for each could not be better written. I do picture the Pointy Woman as the Wicked Witch of the West; my interpretation, no flying monkeys mentioned. I do like that Toby is not a smart mouth but a sweet, intelligent dog. The police officer is a lovely addition to the characters and I find him very likeable. Plenty of emotion, humor and intrigue, the perfect mix to keep the reader immersed in the pages. Sadly, the book does end but book two is coming out soon. No cliffhanger, just a continuation of a series similar to the Wonky Inn Series. 5*
A Curse, A Coven and a Canine #2 – This story picks up the old storylines while blending in the new. The characters are developing, the intrigue is mounting and the suspense is building. I love that one of my favorite characters from the Wonky Inn Series plays a substantial role. Mable is a lovely character and more talking animals join in the foray.
While not a cliffhanger, the next book is set up. I didn’t put it down until I finished the last page; then I ran for the Ladies. The talented author’s storytelling with her vivid descriptions along with her intelligent characters and dialog make this well thought out story had to put down. Lovers of the Wonky will enjoy this series, too. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
Spellbound Hound Magic and Mystery Series end.
Midnight Garden – What an intriguing story, which I would expect to find on the original Twilight Zone of The Sixties. I could not put this book down; it had my imagination spinning throughout all sorts of scenarios trying to figure out what would happen. I did get a part of it correct, but there was one thing that did not cross my mind at all, the root of all their misery. Well written and quickly read with some messed up characters that either attracted or repulsed depending on the scene. A dark suspense story that is difficult to put down. Do not expect the same genre as the Wonky Inn Series, they are not as dark and do contain humor. 5*
