Tinkerbell is not all sweetness and light
The puzzle keeps building in this one with a professor that believes that the caves are part of a system of gates that all converge onto one single point. A good well thought out plot but the characters, especially the main one, seem to be deviating from the characteristics we expect from them. Her acceptance of her mother's statement (I was right in who I thought was her mother), she didn't even ask her father's name. Not what I expected!
When a professor comes to study the caves, his observations open an even bigger dilemma. Are the caves failing? Will the party they are meant to keep out be able to enter? History shows that they have tried before leaving a trail of bodies. When he is found dead and her father is arrested both witches and wizards move into help find the real killer? Will they do so? Will more secrets come to light?

I enjoyed this book. I must admit I started listening to book five and was getting lost because so much seemed to have happened that I wasn't a where of, I then read the blurb and found I was on the wrong book. So went back to this book and was immediately hooked (so much better in the right order). The book continues on from book two and in this book you learn a little bit more about Bailey's adoption and her birth mother. Which nicely balances out the story because it leads to it own problems. The mystery was interesting and although not a huge amount of suspects to choose from I liked following the clues left behind. I also really the mystical element and reason for the caves existence. Off to start book four and then maybe book five will make more sense.
The Seven caves is closed while an eccentric archaeologist explores the caves where Bailey works. Giving her time to find out why her friends have become distant and seem to be avoiding her. The archaeologist makes some startling discoveries and has seems to know more about the caves than he should and promises to write a tell all article.The caves are actually doorways to another realm and the other doors holding back what is behind has already collapsed. Before he can do the exposa he is found dead with a pen belonging to Bailey's adoptive father laying beside him. She is shocked when he is arrested for the murder and will need all the help she can get from her coven of witches and even from a few wizards. The archaeologist journal is missing, can they use that to track down the killer? And if they do just what will they find? And what will happen if the archaeologist is right about the doors?
The narrator puts a lot of effort into her story telling to make it exciting.

Delightful
Delightful way to spend an afternoon. Would be happy to spend more time with these characters. A good way to decompress after a stressful day.

This is the third book in the series about Bailey becoming a witch and learning the secrets of the Caves. It is one series you definitely need to read in order, otherwise there will be more confusion than fun in resolving the mysterious death of Professor Owen Turner.
When Bailey goes to the Caves to practice meditating, she arouses herself and finds a strange man is entering the Caves. Archeologist Owen Turner has come by invitation to study the caves. While it makes Bailey nervous to have him examining the Caves, she shares folklore and information about the Caves. She finds Professor Turner quite likeable. Unfortunately, someone else doesn't agree with her assessment, and murders him. Circumstantial evidence makes Bailey's father, Ryan, look guilty and he is arrested for the crime. Desperate to find the true murderer and absolve Ryan from blame, Bailey enlists her friends to help investigate. What follows is a little magic, a lot of friendship, and an investigation complete with odd spells on the guards of the crime scene.
This magical story is a good mystery as well as a great story about friendships. It is a clean read that is good for all ages. I can't wait until the next book comes out so we can learn more about the Caves and Bailey's life, as well as the changes in Piper and Avery's lives as well!

It keeps getting better!
Story line keeps building through each novel and the characters develop with each episode. I love the strong interrelationships and the influence one character has on others.
There are a few typos (form when from was meant) but they do not distract from the story.
I received the book in exchange for an honest review.

A cozy mystery
I enjoy this series and look forward to the next one. The reason for only 4 stars is i wish she'd go into a little more detail in some areas. Other than that, awesome books.

Murder by fairy
Convoluted plot with witches, warlocks and fairies all keeping secrets from everyone resulting in a murder, with planted evidence. But the real culprit is found. Routine.

I actually started the series with this book. I didn't realize this was the third. With that said I had no problem following the book. It was an entertaining quick read. It was free on Amazon unlimited so I gave it a try. I will read the next book to be released in this series.

Like a little witchy with your pastry?
Every once in awhile I NEED a light fun filled mystery. Reads quickly, not alot of deduction needed but still of the mystery genre and fun. If you need this also read this book.

Book Three
This book was a bit different than the usual "witchy" books. We do get some answers about Bailey's parents. Awaiting the release of book four.

Witching the Night Away
In book three, Bailey finds out the answers to secrets that she has wondered about one of them for years. Bailey is appalled when her adoptive father is arrested for murder. She and her friends and Coven mates work to prove his innocence.
Piper, Bailey's very pregnant and nonmagical friend, is feeling left out when Avery also displays magical talent. However, Piper also has her part to play in solving the mystery.
I think that these mysteries continue to get better. I would recommend for anyone who likes paranormal cozies.
