About the author
Amy Boyles
158 books1,529 followersHey, I’m Amy,
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.
—I worked at Carnegie Hall.
—I grew up in a barbecue restaurant—literally. My parents owned one.
If you want to reach out to me—and I love to hear from readers—you can email me at amyboylesauthor@gmail.com.
Happy reading!

A Blue Ribbon Cheating, a Sprite, a Thief, & Revenge
A lot is going on in this read, too! There's about as many twists and turns as the previous book.
Clementine's grandma Malene enters an art contest, but uses special paints that upset Clem. Rufus is hot and a teacher. Three boys find an old book in a cave. A giant octopus is in a fountain that was full of what appeared to be urine. An invisible hungry sprite is wreaking havoc in flour. Lady continues to bark on four legs and two. A monstrous dog is furious and tired. And lastly - for now - Roberta is coming for all of you!
Like I said - lots going on!
So, about Roberta... she's a witch currently unavailable and seemingly upset with everyone. I assume the next book will explain what's got her tail in a knot. Next is book 10 - Hometown Magic.

I enjoyed this little story but not the ending. Over the past few books Ms. Boyles has added a last chapter that's mostly unrelated to the book in order to leave a cliffhanger ending as a prelude to the next book. I'm not fond of this type of thing. Aside from that I enjoyed the story. Clementine and Rufus are somewhat favorite characters so I enjoy reading the stories that involve them.

The mischievous sprite
I'm this book, Clementine learns that some witches need help controlling their magic. She tries to convince Marlene to admit to cheating. She also learns that magic isn't infinite and must be recharged. I love how Amy Boyles writes characters with depth and issues. Clementine and Rufus have little spats like all couples.

Charming cosy mystery.
Wow! A sprite... There is always something happening in that little town, and Clem, Rufus and co are always in the midst of it.
Plenty of laugh out loud moments, this is another book in this entertaining Magical Renovation Mysteries series that I recommend to those who love paranormal cosy mysteries.

Cute
Some crazy things are happening in Peachwood. Clem and Rufus (and Lady) have to figure it all out. And where did that exploding octopus come from?
The story is cute. However, I skip entire paragraphs just to get back to the dialog. Way too much filler in this book.

Fun, easy read.
I enjoy the magical renovation series because it's lighthearted. Good plots, clean humor, fun characters, each with their own little quirks. Arthur keeps adding new characters to the mix which keeps the storyline fresh.

can you put it down?
I couldn’t put book down at all. Once you start reading You cannot stop. You get a clue early in the story. The storyline is So interesting you don’t want to stop reading.

A fun read!
The story had a lot of snark and Southern charm! It was filled with sprites, witches (old and new), and magic. Enjoy!!

How a sprite destroys Peachwood
Some kids summoned a sprite. It was angry and decided to get revenge on the town. It changed Lady into a woman and broke things.

Good
It's a very interesting story and learning that if you play with magic you might get a rude awakening if you don't know what you're doing
