Cloaks and Daggers
Welcome to Spellbound, where paranormal is the new normal.
When a house-hunting show decides to film in Spellbound, residents are excited to see their town in the limelight--until someone in the production ends up dead. Meanwhile, Emma is grappling with the sudden appearance of a long-lost family member, as well as the ups and downs of motherhood and an overindulgent vampire ghost manny.
Can she find the killer before they strike again or will they need to trade their underwriter for an undertaker?

A great cozy paranormal mystery
I love these books so much! Ive been reading since book 1 and the other series are quite impressive too so you won't be short on nice paranormal cozy mysteries for the Autumn.
Although it should be noted you can read them at any time of the year! I just love an excuse the read when it's bleak outside! 10/10

Reality show nightmare..
As Emma and Daniel settle into their new life as parents they get sucked into allowing the house as part of a reality TV show about finding a dream home by Andrea who works for the programme.
The prospective buyers stay overnight along with several members of the crew but when Emma rises early she finds Andrea's body lying in the dining room. This case is too close for comfort and she's determined to crack it for Diana's sake.
She's also reeling from the sudden arrival of her father, Calix, who offers to smite her enemies while he attempts to work out a place in her life. She's not sure whether to trust him as he's a demigod on the darker side.

A hunting show in the town is all right.
Emma's father showing up suddenly isn't.
Not surprising when your father has a history of destroying entire villages.
Then there's Lady Weatherby who is trying to get out of prison.That wouldn't be so bad if she didn't have plans to take Agnes with her against her will.
Of course there's also a dead woman thrown into the mix.
A lot going on in the book. I think introducing her father with all his past is a good addition to the series as it complicates matters for Emma considerably. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the next book.

Dang it a cliffhanger
I don't like the ending of this book. And OMG lady Weatherby is back to wreak havoc in the most effective way of hurt and Emma. This is Diana is adorable I can't wait to see her as she grows in this series. Of course there is a little mystery that goes along with each book you won't believe who did it. I'm off to find an expert cuz I have to know what happened

Motherhood and murder doesn't exactly mix, especially when the murder happens in your own home. Emma opens her home to a reality based television show, only to have one of the production staff member's found dead on her dining room floor. Its up to Emma to fit the pieces together and follow the clues to expose the killer And, a little magic helps along the way.

Big changes
On one hand, reading the series in a binge saves me from having to wait for the next book to come out, but on the other hand, I am getting depressed ahead of time knowing that the end is approaching. I am very fond of the characters, even the annoying ones like Dr. Hall. If audiences want escapist fantasy, as Adam said, I guess I'm one of them.

Emma AND the story were boring.
So, a demigod appears in the story and utters, “Anyhoo…” That was the extent of the excitement where this book was concerned.
As long as this series is, one would think the main character would become more interested. Nope!

Angels and demi gods
How much can one women handle? Diana thought being a new mother was time consuming. Adding a murder mystery to solve was not on her to do list. However, she handled all the tasks with ease despite her lack of sleep. A fun story with many twists and turns.

Good read
Book 6 has many challenges.... there's a new baby in the house, Emma's biological father shows up, a reality show and murder in the house, and a shocking release. There is also humor mystery, new and old friends, plenty of magic, and love. Highly entertaining.

Change is in the Air!
From the mystery at hand to Spellbound and magical figures there are a lot of changes happening or at least hinted to, that I cannot wait to see how they are going to develop.
Another great story, lets see where Calix leads.

I love a good cozy witch mystery!
It’s been a while since I’ve read this series and it was nice to come back and revisit all the characters and their quirkiness. These are always really good fun quick cozy witch mystery reads and I love them.

A Delightful Series
I love the characters in this series. They are all relatable which moves the storyline along. I wish I could visit Spellbound.

Emma gets her man
Emma doggedly follows the suspects and finds the evil doer. And she has lots of friends and plot diversions to round out a good tale.

Love and wanting more
Love the detail from every angle 😍, the detective works, for a girl who had nothing to achieve so much and whilst still learning magic.

Emma is really getting on my nerves with the risks she takes with her baby.

Entertaining, whimsical, but a decent quick read.

While I’m enjoying Emma’s exploits I can’t help wonder why Daniel has taken such a back seat in this SERIES. Even her “remedial” witch friends don’t seem to have much of a presence in the storylines anymore. A MC can’t carry a book by themself!?!
February 26, 2020
This series has been fun to read. The story has been continuous throughout the series but easy to pick up and read as a stand alone. I highly recommend.

Cloaks and Daggers is Book 6 in the Spellbound Ever After Series. Spells and Bells I am so addicted to this authors writing! I read it in one sitting, finishing at 11:30 PM.
The characters jump off the page and the story is so enchanting and captivating I couldn't put the book down. I love the storyline with little Diana, Emma and Daniel's baby and now Emma's demigod father Calix making an appearance.
There is a great mystery and well thought out plot. I love how there are new shops popping up in town too now that the curse has been broken.
If you haven't read this series Start with the Spellbound Series and you will quickly become addicted!!!
