Southern Relics Cozy Mystery #5
Bargain Haunting
A little sweet tea and a whole lot of spells won't always put out the fire…
Ruby Mae Jewell has enough on her plate with planning a wedding. If only some lingering doubts about her future with Luke didn't stand in her way. Of course, the last thing she needs is a stranger on her doorstep dredging up family secrets ... or bringing Ruby's long-lost mother with her.
Dealing with the unexpected visitors might push her to the breaking point. But when something sinister targets the local brides, Ruby's wedding planner takes the heat. With her own happily-ever-after threatening to come apart at the seams, Ruby must lean on her friends and family to figure out what's behind the bridal breakdowns before she becomes the next one to snap.
Will Ruby's big plans go up in flames? Find out in Bargain Haunting, Book 5 of the Southern Relics Cozy Mysteries.

Good story, with a few inconsistencies
I've really enjoyed the southern relics series, and this book in particular. There are a few editing mistakes, however, so if that throws you out of a story, beware! (Example- calling Duncan Dani's boyfriend, instead of her brother!) There are also a few minor inconsistencies across the books that you'll probably only notice if you binge and remember minor details like I do! (Example and spoiler for the previous book- the ghost librarian is still working even though in the last book she said she was going to move on since her work was done!)

Beginnings and Endings
This is my new favorite installment in the "Southern Relics" series. The characters, both old, new, and dead, are written with such charm and wit and resonance, that you want to be part of the magical goings-on. I can't say more, because anything I could add to the official book description would be a huge spoiler. All I CAN say is this - if you've read the entire series, you'll enjoy "Bargain Haunting a lot, and if you haven't, for your own enjoyment, start at the beginning. You won't be sorry.

Couldn’t stop reading and was totally captivated. I can’t thank Bella enough for such a great story. Look forward to future stories. Thanks for a great story.

A good ghost story
I really enjoyed the surprises that Bella Falls added into this wonderful ghost story! It was filled with ghosts and magic, revenge and anger, love and happiness.
