A Southern Relics Cozy Collection 1
A little sweet tea and a whole lot of spells won’t always put out the fire…
Flea Market Magic: Book 1
Welcome to Jewell, NC, a small strip of land on the Crystal Coast with no stop signs or traffic lights, but it’s got a whole lot of magic. Ruby Mae Jewell helps run the family business of selling antiques and refurbished goods. But with old objects, you never know when one of them possesses more than just dust and cobwebs. When Rue hits up a flea market, she gets more than she bargained for. Finding a potentially dangerous magical object, she has to get it off the market and out of mortal hands. But when more research reveals its threatening nature to the magical community as well, she's put to the test of what to do...especially when they find someone murdered on their land who was looking for it. Ruby Mae struggles to balance doing the right thing and saving her family at all costs. But when things turn from bad to worse, it may get harder for her to know which choices to make. Will her fiery personality and powers be able to solve the mystery before anyone else gets hurt or will Ruby Mae’s efforts to solve the murder go up in smoke?
Rags To Witches: Book 2
Ruby Mae Jewell's talents to pick the best bargains for her family's business are hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hades! But when one of her friends gets stabbed at his own wedding reception, her abilities to solve the mystery go completely cold. There are a lot more questions than answers, and with more than the groom's life in the balance, Rue might need a lot of help to stitch things back together. Will Ruby Mae's five-alarm fire powers help her find the culprit who hurt her friends or will they disappear in a puff of smoke?
Pickups and Pirates: Book 3
After a hurricane attacks the Crystal Coast, Ruby Mae Jewell, along with her friends and family, will have to deal with more than just the wreckage of harsh weather. When history of the notorious pirate Captain “Bonny" Ann Bonnet catches up to the present, murder and mystery soon follow. Rue discovers that the storm and the discovery of her ship right off the shores of her home area are no coincidence, and she must race to claim the cursed treasure before anyone else gets hurt. Sounds like a good time to call in her friend Charli Goodwin from Honeysuckle Hollow to see if her tracking talents can help give her an edge! Can Ruby Mae and her friends gather all the pieces together in time before the pirate witch’s curse consumes the lives of everyone around her?

These first three books in this paranormal southern mystery series come together so it’s nice to get three for one. Each story seemed distinctly different but involved basically the same characters. While I enjoyed this compilation of stories, they seemed just a little slower. It could be that I missed the large amount of funny southern banter and quips I’m use to from other books. It was a fun enjoyable read! 😍 It also come in an audiobook filled with all three books, one thru three.

I managed to read the first 2 books in this box set but couldn't bring myself to start the third. They were a bit slow & I didn't realise she was basically a wannabe detective - I thought it was going to more about her finding rare magical items than investigating the police case she witnessed or reported

A must read
I just finished books 1-3 and I have to say I really enjoyed them. I love paranormal cozy mysteries and mid life witches discovering themselves but lets face it they all run similar story lines. This stories line is refreshingly different as it is set in the south filled with southern twang and sass and a generational family of witches.

I really enjoyed these books. You will meet some very interesting characters in this series. There is something for everyone in this series. You have magic, mystery, family and more. You will laugh at the antics of the characters, the sassy of the main character Ruby and her family. I recommend reading this

Very entertaining story!
With witches and vampires, ghosts, shifters and who knows what's up come, these stories were suspenseful and entertaining. Buried treasure and romance add extra sweet spice. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
