A truth spell is an honest mistake . . .

The real murderer is difficult to dig up, and with half the townspeople telling the truth, Amelia is starting to suspect that the truth won’t set you free, but plunge you into trouble.

The Halloween Truth Spell is Book 15 in the Kitchen Witch series by Morgana Best.
I LOVE this series. Every year Amelia is required to do a spell for Marina, due to a promise that has lasted generations in her family and she is bound to do it. Every year, something goes terribly wrong and there is usually a murder involved. This year, Marina simply wants a truth spell to find out if her boyfriend is telling the truth about investing in a Gold Mine, which seems like a scam.
Initially Amelia is relieved for such an easy spell, until Camino accidently applies the truth spell to a huge batch of cupcakes that are being sold at the Halloween Fair. At the fair a dead body shows up and Amelia and the gang are on the case.
I love all the characters in this book, they are SO well written and fleshed out. The mystery is well written and perfectly paced. I thought I knew who the killer was, but I was wrong. The author writes with such humor with incredible characters.
I recommend starting the series from the beginning and you won't be sorry.
I can't wait for the next book in this amazing series!

This is another wonderful book in the Kitchen Witch series. It's ironic for the main character to be in this series since she is notorious for not being able to cook. Amelia, the main character, is at the local fair when Marina asks her for her annual Halloween spell. When the spell, a truth spell, is accidentally released into the town, people start admitting to all sorts of "sins" they've committed. When a man is found murdered nearby, Amelia and Thyme start investigating. Of course, the truth spell makes it easier to get information as long as they know who was affected. I'm excited to read every book this author writes so I can truly say "Where's the next book, Morgana?". Lol

I love this series! Every Halloween Amelia is honor bound to grant a spell to Marina. This year Marina asks for a truth spell. When the truth spell accidentally gets placed on more than what Amelia intended, someone ends up murdered once again this Halloween. I love all the characters in these books! Always a wonderful read that keeps you guessing till the end. Book is best enjoyed if previous books in the series have been read. I received an advance readers copy of this book and I’m leaving a voluntary review.

Every Halloween Amelia faces the same problem, and every year I think this is the year it will all be ok! It certainly seemed that way. The spell was straightforward and carefully executed. Only who would think that Camino would cause so many problems that for once weren't involving her famed onesies! Another fun Kitchen Witch mystery with laughs, confusion, and good friends. This series keeps on getting better and better thanks to the creative genius of author Morgana Best. Don't miss this terrific addition!

Marina wants her yearly Halloween Spell to be a truth spell for her boyfriend, Alex. She thinks he is hiding something about the Mountain Made Mine. Alder hopes this year there won't be a murder.

Another great book with lots of entertaining fun, mystery, and witchy things going on. The best part is the Amelia house...seems it have a life of it's own!

Amelia is a witch and every year she has to perform a spell for Marina. And every year somehow, someone is murdered after Amelia performs the spell. This year the spell sounds so simple – a truth spell for Marina’s boyfriend. But once again someone is murdered.
I love this series – a little bit of mystery and a little bit of crazy. What’s wrong with a cupcake baker that can’t bake. That would be Amelia. Puzzle and chuckle your way through this book.

Ah yes, nothing like a spell gone viral and a murder at Halloween! Amelia performs an obligatory spell, but then Camino (she of the onesie fetish) causes it to be widely spread. Who knew that a truth spell could be so hazardous? Then Amelia's husband, Alder, is very unhappy because he knows that Amelia will get involved in solving the murder and that ALWAYS puts her in danger. And he's too right! I always laugh myself silly reading this series!

Did not want it to end
How do you do this Morgana? The Kitchen Witch series gets funnier as it goes. That's why I love The Sea Witch series as well. I get to where I put off reading each book so I don't have as long to wait for the next issue. I am trying to pace myself so I won't read it's entirety in 1 session. I do like to make it last longer and my anticipation gets fevered. Thank You for your imagination and that you share it in books.

A delightful story with another murder.
Amelia is once again forced to perform a spell for Marina due to her grandmother's pact.
When a body is discovered with a pitchfork in the back. It put a sudden end to the Halloween fair in the town center.
Amelia feels responsible so she and Thyme investigate.
Thyme also gets a nice surprise in this story.

Alders idea of taking his wife, Amelia, on a date is a zombie apocalypse scavenger hunt. LOL Amelia and friends are ready when Marina shows up early for her yearly Halloween spell from Amelia. Every year there ends up being a murder. Can this year be different? Well of course not! Now Amelia needs to solve it and it's lots of fun to read. I loved it!
