Deep in the heart of winter, all is quiet in Charm Cove. Or so Moira Wicked likes to think. The charming town in Maine is blanketed with snow, and magic is murmuring under the surface, but nothing is amiss.Until it’s time for maple sugaring season. One of the earliest signs of spring is when the maple trees are ready to tap for sap, which becomes maple sugar, and syrup, and more. Once the first … the first few trees are tapped, Charm Cove residents start reporting missing buckets of maple sap. At first, it’s only a few and then it’s almost all of them.
It’s a maple caper, and Charm Cove residents are riled up.
In the midst of the missing maple sap dustup, Moira finds herself caught in the middle because, of course, everyone she knows is missing maple sap. Maple sugaring is big business, and money is on the line. Who knew money and maple syrup would make people so crazy?
Meanwhile, Charm Cove is still a beacon to the wider world with its magic being bottled up and sold in its charming stores and online.
Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there’s almost always more than meets the eye.

This is the first book that I have read in this series and I wasn’t lost at all. Charm Cove residents and businesses are putting out buckets to collect maple sap as it is the time of year to start collecting. Maple Sugar Season begins usually between mid Feb. to mid March all over New England and Canada. Moira Wicked and Liam Good are fated to be married and thankfully are in love and living together, they also set out a few buckets. The morning after setting out buckets, everyone in town, businesses and residents alike notice their buckets are gone. The town has a lot of paranormal residents and they all work together to find who the culprit is. There are a few twists and turns, but I did guess who did it. It was a very fun story, and I like how all the paranormals talents were explained. I also liked that non paranormals and paranormals could work together as a team and were even marrying each other. It was a great book. I liked the writers style, there were a few errors, but not many and it did not detract from the story.

Charm Cove is in a bit of a pickle. It seems that all the maple trees that have been tapped to sap have had their buckets stolen and their lines snapped. At first, it is just a few buckets, but now it is almost all of them. Is this a case of kids being kids? Or is magic involved?
Moira can’t seem to keep out of the things; especially since everyone she knows has been impacted. When a few of the buckets turn up in odd places with a one letter code that needs descrambling, Moira knows it is more than just a prank by a few kids. With the help of her boyfriend and all of the Wicked/Good families, they are on a hunt to solve the mystery.
This is a cozy with lots of charm, wit, quirky characters, a bit of magic, and bunches of mystery filled madcap adventure.

I had never read any other books in the series, but I was able to pick up and read this one without any issues or questions about what happened prior. The story is cute and well written. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. I highly recommend this book and I’m going to be reading the rest of the series now.

This is a great, sweet series that I really enjoy. I guess technically, this can be read as a stand alone, but I really think this needs to be read in order. I started with book 4 but paused and decided to go back and start from the beginning before picking this one back up. It made it easier to understand the back ground of the characters.
We are getting closer to our HEA. This series is based on the same characters Moira and Liam. They are fated mates that have been putting off fulfilling the prophecy of their mating. Things are finally starting to get a bit closer in the direction.
Awesome characters, strong story line, fantastic description to detail, and entertaining dialogue. A true joy to read. A bit of mystery. The series as a whole is fantastic.
Would I recommend this book? Absolutely!
Would I read more from this author? Yes!

The Great Maple Caper #4 – Pretty good mystery and plenty of “when is the wedding”. The storylines contain a few kinks and an addition of a rather nice character (my favorite over many). The twins are still being themselves and trying to help investigate as well as solve a puzzle. All the characters are performing their duties while the ladies keep asking “when is the wedding?”, driving Moira nuts. I like the sexual tension that’s between Moira and HISNAME; it’s not about body parts and hot this and hot that, but what is felt. The reader knows the power of their love without the trash aspect and inyourfacecontinuously. More of the powers of the witch families are revealed while trying to solve the mystery. The pace is fast and the descriptions keep the reader immersed in the story. There’s humor and a good dose of suspense, rather well done. There’s an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
Wicked Good Series:
Destiny’s A Witch #1 – I like this book better than Witch You Wouldn’t Believe and Witch is When it Gets Crazy. The witches and warlocks are likable and their dialog realistic. I’m happy to see a male is called a warlock instead of witch (PC is so stupid with the sexes). Well written, clean but with sexual attraction makes this story entertaining.
Add mischievous teenage witches, nosy friends and family on top of family pressure to do the Destiny thing, while determining if a death was an accident or a murder, leaves the main characters in all types of states. Never mind if there’s a second chance for them or it is Destiny, there’s a lot of happenings. Pretty good story without the usual stupid drama found in a lot of this genre. 4*
Hex Me Not #2 – Another interesting book in the Wicked Good Mystery Series. The witches and warlocks are still likable, interesting and entertaining. The background storylines continue while the main mystery keeps the reader immersed in the quickly read, well thought plot. The story moves along a steady moving pace, is clean and without the usual stupid drama found in a lot of books of this genre. There’s an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a book is about before I read it. I found this book on Booksprout. 4*
Spells and Silver Bells #3 – Another good addition to the Wicked Good Mystery series! I found this book more intriguing and suspenseful than its predecessors. The characters are interesting and likable, and the regulars steady grow along with the stories. The storylines, original and new, are interesting and intelligent. This book is a bit more substantial and took a bit longer to figure out the villains, but I did miss the main reason, which was….
There’s an overview, which I appreciate knowing about a book before I read it. These books can be read out of sequence, but the storylines are build from the first book on, although all are standalones, no cliffhangers. I contacted the author to review her books and received this through Booksprout. 4*
Wicked Good End.
