Forty's The New Forever #3
Hexy and I Know It
With the discovery that Selene can communicate with Presto and that the Fae are ramping up their efforts in trying to invade the mortal world, life shifts at Hale Hall. Whether it’s for better or worse, she can’t tell just yet. However, she knows that she’s caught in the middle of a maelstrom.
Cullen is much more fond of her. Mrs. A keeps her comments to herself, aside from a snide remark here and there, but Selene understands that she disapproves of the match even though Rowena seemed pleased. Meanwhile, Sheriff Andrew Fitts refuses to back down on his efforts to woo Selene, even if that means stepping on Cullen’s toes in the process.
When a student from a nearby university is found dead on the castle grounds, Selene is caught up in yet another investigation. Considering the student is a well-loved baseball player for the university team, the case attracts a fair amount of media attention to the property, which is the last thing Hale Hall needs in a time like this.
At the same time, Selene starts having strange premonitions after her encounter with the handsome fae that has her on her toes.
She senses that there are more weaknesses in the portal that she hasn’t considered. Where? It’s the million-dollar question, but she senses something amiss. Particularly, a small abandoned shack half a mile away from Hale Hall draws her in and refuses to let go.
Cullen is closer, Sheriff Fitts wants to get closer, and Jayne keeps wondering what is going on with her friend. At this point, Selene asks herself the same question. But most importantly, what’s the deal with Presto?

I tried, but I couldn't get through it, which isn't something I do often. I was hoping a book with a main character in her 40s wouldn't be full of teen angst, but here it is. She's getting her own facts wrong. Her twin daughters' ages keep changing. He ex-husband's new wife to be is having twins, and then there's only one baby. Her cat can talk but won't. I can't tell you how many times I turned the page and the thought process of our heroine had jumped to something new, and I have to look back to make sure I didn't turn two pages because it feels so disjointed. I love so many of her other books, but this series is sloppy and disappointing.

Hexy and I know It has a great ending! 4.8 stars
Poor Selene is getting overwhelmed between her job, the sheriff's attention, her boss's attention, trying to study her magic books, and of course worried about her twin girls and creepy ex.
Even though she likes Cullen the most, she decides she needs to simplify her life and hold off on the romantic complications. Fortunately it does give her a little more time to solve the latest murder. Too bad it is a neighbor and friend of Mrs Anderson!

I really like the characters in this story and series. Selene works at Hale Hall Castle cleaning up the rooms and sorting out what to keep and throw out so eventually open as a Bed & Breakfast but another murder happens on the property so Selene and Presto, her invisible cat start looking for clues. There is romance brewing between Cullen who owns Hale Hall & Sheriff Andrew Pitts giving Selene problems doing her job at Hale Hall and keeping her secret from them that she is a witch protecting Hale Hall Castle.

This was so good! I really like these characters and the mystery was really good and hard to figure out. I liked the mix of human and magical in the story. Oh, to only really have magic!.

Sky but entertaining
Good read. Started slow at first, then as you kept turning the passages of the kindle book, the less lightly you felt like wanting to learn who the killr would be

Excitement and Knowledge
It starts with another murder at the Hall. Fae or humans another who done it. Selena's love life is difficult. She likes Collin but he's human and she's a witch. What's a girl to do?

This Tory was all over the place. It might be just me. All her reasons for not seeing what might happen with the castle owner seemed trivial to me, talk about over thinking. The sheriff is nice but not what she needs. Common sense is needed
