Marla realizes she is stuck being the town detective whether she likes it or not. So she better do a good job. Otherwise she will never get any alone time with Quade. Once again Mindy the hedgehog gets under Marla’s skin time and again. However nothing can prepare her for the new magical creatures that snuck in through the barrier. Does rhymiing bother you? It sure does Marla! You have to read this funny book, You won’t regret it!
Literally – a turn for the craaaaazy! That’s the only word that comes to mind when describing this book. Though the pieces start falling together as the book goes on, it does take a while to get there. Mindy and Marla go head to head; almost unnecessarily so, but finally come to terms with one another. It was refreshing for me to see them make up, realize their differences, and set them aside to begin building a solid friendship. Especially when they have to work closely together since Marla is the only one who can understand the magical creatures. The book has numerous funny (and again crazy) situations making it a quick, lighthearted read.
I absolutely love this series and I love the Witches of Gales Haven! This latest instalment is absolutely hilarious and had me laughing so hard I was crying and fighting to breathe! Throw in some mystery and intrigue, some hilarity, some snark and sass and you will find Marla Gawama the new detective of Gales Haven whose on the case of the missing marbles! Say what?? A fun read that I cannot recommend enough!
This book is fantastic, it had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next, The Author does a fantastic job at World building and Bringing the Characters to life. This is a fantastic series. I definitely recommend.

A much needed comedic relief during serious times! I love Ms Ashta’s characters! They are all hilarious and will give you a case of the giggles. Just what we all need during these tumultuous times. Her descriptions of their speech, their cloths, their movements, all clearly envisioned brought an instant smile on my face if not an out loud giggle. Just what we all need!
Family antics.
The Gawama women never do anything by halves. And they never let their own down. The trust and love and support, is absolutely amazing. The krazy things that happen in Gales Haven can only be believed when read =D And hopefully you’ll be as surprised as I was by the new town addition!

Outstanding! Lucia just tilted my world on it axis with this fun-filled, slap-yo-mama, laugh-out-loud thrilling wonder, laying out the strategy and lining up the marbles, banking hilarious stunts and watching ’em roll, melding this jewel together flawlessly.

Tripping through the taxing trials and arduous tribulations, stumbling through the crazy twists and wicked turns, drawing our characters closer than they could have ever envisioned. Entwined, combined and tightly woven, exposing the wacky quirks and defying bents, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never imagined, wrapping this jewel up sleek, shiny and tight.
