Witch Haven #3
Curses and Corpses
Can things get any weirder in Witch Haven?
It would seem so, since I’m in disguise, and hiding from my best friends and familiars.
Tasked with investigating why the dead are rising, I’m pulled in too many directions. My best friend is still missing, and the dark magic grows stronger. Throw in a few moldering corpses, and this witch needs a vacation!
Just as I’m making progress, everyone loses their memories apart from me and a jaded cemetery guardian. I’m on my own again. But this time, I won’t give up.
Will I survive this mystery, or will the corpses hold a marshmallow toasting celebration as I meet a fiery end?
***
Welcome back to Witch Haven and book three in this paranormal mystery series. Indigo finally uncovers the darkness troubling the village, but at what cost?

May 7, 2024Ugh. O tried several times to continue reading this book but only got as far as 56%. It just kept getting weirder and I have node sire to go any further.
Amazon synopsis:
I’m in disguise, wearing leather pants, hiding from my friends and familiars, and getting too comfortable spending time with someone who should be my enemy.
Tasked with investigating why the dead have started rising, I’m being pulled in too many directions. My best friend is still missing, and the darkness grows stronger every day. Throw in a few moldering corpses, and this witch needs a vacation.
But there’s no time to rest. Especially not when I learn my best friend’s life is at risk. Just when we're making progress, everyone loses their memories, apart from me and an unhelpful cemetery guardian with a chip on her shoulder. I’m on my own again, but this time, I refuse to give up.
Will I survive this mystery, or will the corpses win and hold a marshmallow toasting celebration as I meet a fiery end?

what a conclusions. i had my suspicions but this was more than i expected and yet somehow less, the why of it all just seemed so petty.
still it made for a good and entertaining story
and i was very happy that she kept the romance very slow burn
it was such a relief really, right before starting this series, I'd started a few books, also paranormal cozy mysteries where i didn't get past the meet cute, maybe the 2nd meeting between h/H, because the minute the h was met with the H they turned into brainless, babbling, idiots... gag,
so yeah, maybe that didn't happen here
i have to say the writing was a bit repetitive at times, like reiterating the same points again and again
which truth be told has been a bit of an issue throughout the series so far.
some things didn't make a lot of sense
plus i was a bit annoyed by the heavy handed hints regarding her friends dark little secrets. save it for the teaser/ promo/ preview at the end

The characters continue to grow and relationships are changing. Loved this story and cannot wait until the very next one. I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Curses and Corpses book 3
What a great way to end this book and series. One would never guess how this whole series started until reading this book. The characters are amazing and work well together. Definitely a great read.

Indigo has a lot to do – later!!! IF she can keep her mouth shut……that is. Just remember that you can’t always trust your loved ones. I did enjoy this story and recommend the book.

enjoying Witch Haven
This story moves quickly, but smoothly. We learn about how dark magic almost destroyed the town, as well as Indigo.

And the hits keep coming!
Wow! What a wrap. Love, love, love it. The proposals were fabulously over the top and what are Indigo's friends hiding.
