Magic and Mystery: Series Starter Boxed Set: 4 Series Beginnings
4 novels. 4 series beginnings. Magic and Mystery is a collection of the first books in four different series written by C.J. Archer. Each novel is intended to give you an introduction to fascinating new stories featuring magical fantasy, puzzling mysteries, enigmatic heroes and independent heroines. Hopefully you will find a brand new series to start (or maybe four!) The Watchmaker's Daughter (Glass and Steele book 1) India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancé took her inheritance, and the only person who'll employ her is a mysterious man from America. A man who possesses a watch that keeps him alive. The Last Necromancer (The Ministry of Curiosities book 1) A waif, her kidnapper, and a twist you won't see coming. Charlie is being hunted for her dark magic, but only one man succeeds in capturing her. A man known as Death, as compelling as he is frightening. The Palace of Lost Memories (After the Rift book 1) The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders and no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate until a noblewoman is poisoned. The village doctor and his daughter, Josie, are allowed inside, but Josie soon learns the palace won't surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident has a memory from before the palace existed. The Wrong Girl (The 1st Freak House book 1) It's customary for Gothic novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic with a strange affliction, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head. Yet freedom is something she longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of abduction. Especially when she realizes her kidnappers got the wrong girl.

Entertaining listening
Due to eye issues Alexa reads to me. Four will written fantasy Sci-Fi thriller mystery novels with interesting characters. Each story line is different as the characters race to solve issues that face them. I would recommend this box 📦set to readers of fantasy if there is an issue each story leads to the next novel in the series. Enjoy reading 🔰2021😆

Paranormal, supernatural
I found the four starter books intriguing & delightful. I enjoyed the plots very much. The twists & turns were mind boggling. I honestly enjoy reading stories by C. J. Archer. The imagination & plots come so naturally. Safe for teens on up.

Pleasure Read
The plot was interesting and easy to follow. Suspenseful but easy to put down to pick up where you left off.

Good fiction
The premise and the plot are good and refreshingly different. The characters are not fully developed but this is the first of a trilogy so maybe more is coming.
