Sweet Tea Witch Mysteries #18
Southern Jinxed
So far, Pepper Reign’s second trimester is smooth sailing. That is until the proverbial crap hits the fan. A rogue werewolf is on the loose and it has got its sights set on Pepper, wanting to make her its next meal.
But help is on the way. The werewolves of Clan Reign have recently lost their king. That means Axel is their new alpha--which makes Pepper their new queen. That’s a lot for a gal to deal with while expecting a baby. On top of that, it looks like love is in the air. Grandma Betty has her sights set on one of the werewolves in Clan Reign and she’s even changing her appearance to make him like her.
But even with all the good werewolves around, the dangerous one's attacks on Pepper become more frequent and violent, and no one can seem to catch him. Can they catch the werewolf before it hurts Pepper or will she become its next meal?

I write books for folks who crave laugh-out-loud paranormal mysteries. I help bring humor into readers’ lives. I’ve got a Pharm D in pharmacy, a BA in Creative Writing and a Masters in Life.
And when I’m not writing or chasing around two small children (one of which is four going on thirteen), I can be found antique shopping for a great deal, getting my roots touched up (because that’s an every four week job) and figuring out when I can get back to Disney World.
If you’re dying to know more about my wacky life, here are three things you don’t know about me.
—In college I spent a semester at Marvel Comics working in the X-Men office.

So good to visit Magnolia Cove and all the delightful residents! Lots of excitement as usual with twists and turns throughout. Looking forward to the next one....what will Amy come up with next?
August 10, 2022
This one was absolutely a treat! Our beloved Pepper is about to be a mama! Everyone is so excited in Magnolia Cove and the general energy is happy. Finally Pepper gets her normal run of the mill baby shower! But of course nothing is ever that simple in Magnolia Cove. All of the sudden Clan Reign; as in the WEREWOLF CLAN REIGN, roll into Magnolia Cove! The leader of the pack has been killed and the next in line is, you guessed it Axel! This begins a really crazy whirlwind of events, and don’t forget now that Axel is King it makes Pepper, Queen! While all of this is going on Pepper also finds a brilliant injured rabbit and she is determined to heal him and find out what happened and where exactly he came from! To really put the Cherry on top every single night Axel is out meeting with his new clan making plans, Pepper is being stalked. This novel is so incredibly jam packed with action I really couldn’t even imagine it being anymore perfect. The last three installments have been so fun, so well written, and just filled to the brim with utter excitement. Betty, Amelia, and Cordelia are very involved as well in this book. Expect a ton of changes from Cordelia’s life and some really happy horizons for Betty. I love these books so much and I really can’t get enough, I’m gonna be really sad once I’m totally caught up in the series.

Loved it.
Well Clan Reign shows up letting Adel know he is now King of the clan. To say his is surprised would be an understatement, from there things get pretty serious. There are rogue werewolves in town that keep attacking Pepper, the clan has not been able to help find them, some of the townsfolk don't want clan Reign to be allowed to stay, Betty and Cordelia have found new beaus and Rufus is back just in time. Pepper also saves a Fox shifter from dying and they welcome him into the fold. Will Axel be able to save Pepper and the pup (s) or will he lose his leadership and his family before he can figure out who the werewolf attacker is?
I loved this book. I can't wait for the next in series when Pepper has her pup (s) and we can find out what she is having. I highly recommend this series and book and am so excited to read the next one!

A fun read. Not quite like the description. During a party, Pepper is hunting for different colored wands when she finds a talking fox named Ainsworth. He's injured, so she takes him to her grandmother's to be healed. Axel inherits Clan Reign, a clan of werewolves, when their leader dies. They show up at Mystic Falls and declare him their king. Axel convinces the council to let them settle in Mystic Falls. A rogue werewolf shows up a day or two before and attacks Pepper. With the help of Hugo, her dragon, they defeat him but he tells them it isn't over. Hugo is severely injured, so Pepper magics them to her grandmother's for help. Rufus shows up and reverses the spell on Hugo. With Pepper pregnant, Axel becomes over protective. The werewolf clan searches for the rogue werewolf.

Book 18 - Southern Jinxed
Oh my goodness, the action just keeps happening in Magnolia Cove. Needless to say, with Pepper being 6 months along in her pregnancy, she's somewhat limited in what she's able to do. You know, the whole running, fighting, and up and down business. It definitely takes some getting use to. Then there is the small detail Axle's father forgot to tell him about concerning his future. Its another cute, Sweet Tea Witch mystery, takes place in Alabama so the slang and customs are spot on and hilarious to those of us who live in the South. (The food makes me hungry every time tho) 😍

I liked this book. I think that having Ainsworth in the story was really interesting. I was hoping that he would stay in the series as a regular instead of leaving, but he needed to get to know a few things about himself. Hopefully he'll come back and stay in the series.
Also glad to see that Betty met someone who will give her heck and love her. Sorry that Cordelia and Garrick could not get back together again, so maybe there new romances turn out OK.
I recommend this book.

This was another winner. Wow what a storyline this was. I started this book yesterday and finished it the next day. Could not put it down. Amy writes great mysteries and great characters and great storylines. You start a book and keep going until you are done. I want to know if it is a girl as her mother thinks she is. I have to read book 19 to find out. I highly recommend all her books and different series. Diana Romano

I thought for sure the baby would be born in this book but no. But Axel is now the head of his clan which makes him the reluctant King and Pepper his Queen. When his clan shows up to live in their town it proves to be interesting on several levels. Betty falls for one of the werewolves and so does cousin Cordelia so no hope of her getting back with
Gerrick. Pepper saves a fox named Ainsworth after the wolves attack him. Lots going on. Great book.

Such fun!
A werewolf on the attack, a clan of kinsmen in need, and a sudden ascension to royalty are just a few of the challenges in store for Pepper. This fun, murder-free mystery gives her no time to just enjoy her second trimester! Grandma Betty adds hilarity and snark, Cornelia adds relationship chaos, and a surprise visitor brings closure and a blast from the past. What an enjoyable read!

The Fox and the Wolves. As if Axel didn't have enough responsibility on his plate with the new baby coming...he's also suddenly the alpha of a werewolf pack. These changes and more abound during Pepper's second trimester. There are tricksters and new relationships galore, and Betty gets her flirt on, which is adorable. I love Amy Boyle's worlds and the characters and adventures she creates. Always a hilariously fun time to be had.

Too short. Wanted this one to be longer. Maybe actually find out the sex of the baby. Some people believe they do not have to put in the work to get into that position you can just remove the competition, then that leaves you and it's yours. Life does not work like that. Good vs evil hopefully good will always win eventually.

The werewolf king
Amy Boyles kept me hooked with this book. I couldn't put it down. Pepper is pregnant and they are having an ultrasound. Pepper and Axel have a contest to see who can go the longest without finding out what they are having. Axel finds out he's now the werewolf king and a werewolf with magic is after Pepper. Can they figure out who is after them.

Entertaining
Some unexpected changes, in the Craple house. Rufus visits and only gets to do one bit of rescue work. However was nice to see him. Pepper's magical talent is coming along well. Enjoyable book. Recommended.

Excellent as usual
I just love Ainsworth. Maybe we will see more of him. So excited to see what the baby is. Axel and Pepper along with Rufus save the day again. Anxious to see what Shoo and Betty get up to. Great read. Action packed.

So much going on!
Axel and Pepper are busier than ever. More werewolves have come to town looking for a home and Axel and the town are helping. There's danger lurking trying to get at Pepper, but the family helps as usual. Another great mystery! Thank you.

I love the Sweet Tea gang. They always have great interaction. It was a good way to move Rufus into the next adventure.

New neighbors
Axel's clan comes to stay, bringing a whole bunch of werewolf problems with them. Just what a pregnant witch needs. I can't get enough of the sweet tea witches.
