Moonshadow Cove #2
Hex Around and Find Out
Just in time for spooky season, a dazzling new cozy romantasy following three sea witch sisters by USA Today bestselling author Molly Harper!
As the middle sister in a trio of sea witches, Cora Seaworth has spent most of her life hidden away at her family’s magical cottage on Moonshadow Cove. She’s claimed her own corner of the library, cozied up with her favorite novels and a ghost cat named Nicodemus. She’s the deep thinker among her more tempestuous sisters, so she isn’t prepared to be swept up in a real-life romantic adventure in the form of sexy local baker Iggy Galinsky.
Iggy is tired of his reputation as the Island’s unreliable charmer and a man of many talents but no true calling outside his family’s bakery. Sure, it’s mostly true, but it still hurts his feelings. His carefree life gets serious fast when he meets the beautiful, mysterious Cora Seaworth. Before long, they’re working together with Cora’s sisters, various ghosts and the unfathomable creature lurking at the bottom of the cove to defeat an ancient enemy. If they don’t prevail, it’s not just their love that’s at stake, but Starfall Point’s entire magical community.

Picking up shortly after the conclusion of The Wrong Witch to Hex, Hex Around and Find Out shares the story of the middle Seaworth sister Cora, and lovable pastry chef Iggy. The pair have a meet-cute when Iggy’s dog runs into Cora, but then later an enemy of the Seaworths accidentally shoots Iggy with a tranquilizer, forcing Cora to take him to the hidden Moonshadow Cove to save him. Instead of being frighted to discover about ghosts and witches, Iggy embraces Cora’s life and is fascinated with the cove and its residents.
Cora and Iggy feel a connection right away, with actual sparks forming between the pair. Despite their obvious chemistry, Cora pushes Iggy away in order to protect him. I appreciate that Cora realizes rather quickly that Iggy is part of her life, rather than letting her concerns becoming a “thing” that drags on. Even though Cora can’t see it, each is very similar to the other. It’s just she deals with anxiety and stress by making things orderly and he does it by going with the flow.
There is quite a lot of development regarding the pretentious Jasper Society and the Seaworth’s nemesis family, the Sandshears and their desire to possess the mysterious kelpie egg in the cove. And since I already understood the magic and the players involved, it was easier to follow the storyline this time.
Narration: Other than the prologue and epilogue, the story is shared via the alternating third person POVs of Cora and Iggy. Hamilton voices Iggy’s POVs. His voice is pleasantly deep and fitting. He adjusts for gender. Ronconi brings her usual, upbeat enthusiasm to the role of Cora. She also adjusts appropriately for gender, accent, and age. Both narrators don’t make a huge distinction between characters of the same gender, but their performances are entertaining.
Similar to the first book in the series, Hex Around and Find Out opens with a prologue from eldest sister Perry and closes with an epilogue from Jasper Society regular, James. It’s clear that these two will end up together, teaming up to take down the Seaworth’s enemies, and with how this one ended, it looks like it will be an exciting showdown.

These are really great little listens. Fits the vibe for October, but has adventure and a little romance. I did laugh in this one and enjoy the puns. I’m curious to see what is to come because it is an easy and lighthearted read. I also love the crossovers with the witches from Shadowhouse too!

If you’re looking for a cute and witchy read this season, Hex Around and Find Out is exactly what you need! This is book two in the series, and I thoroughly enjoyed both the storyline and the charming cast of characters. It’s got just the right mix of humor, magic, and a touch of romance that keeps the pages flying (or in my case, the audiobook playing nonstop). Speaking of which—Teddy Hamilton narrates, so you know it’s going to be good. His performance brought the MMC character to life in the best way. If you love cozy paranormal vibes, a sprinkle of snark, and a feel-good magical escape, this one definitely deserves a spot on your fall TBR!

This was a bit of a mixed experience for me. I continue to like the duo narration, and love the setting on an island off Michigan in Lake Huron. I'm also intrigued by the backstory of the Seaworth sisters and their ancestors. My problem with this one comes with the hero in this book, Iggy, the lead baker at a local bakery mentioned in all of the other books set on the island.
Our heroine in this book is Cora, the middle Seaworth sister. Cora loves to read (a huge plus in my mind). On her first encounter with Iggy at the coffee shop/bakery, she's put off by his irresponsible, charming manner. Unfortunately, for much of the book, even though Cora fell in love with him, I didn't like Iggy. He just felt far too immature. While he's theoretically in his 30s, he seems more irresponsible than Josh, a teenager who has appeared in many of the other books.
It was the main story of the problems occuring on the island that kept my attention. It seems as if the third book will feature the oldest Seaworth sister and James, the uptight man who was sent to the island to investigate things by a secret magical society. I'm looking forward to that story, and learning more about the secrets in the magical society.

I only chose this book because I was out of monthly credits on audible and it was a free listen lol! Its fall vibes felt like the appropriate choice. The plot line was interesting enough but not my favourite. It felt like a wattpad story I would have read when I was 13 lol.

Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for a romance or life got more in the way than I expected but I just didn’t feel the urge to get back to this story when I took a few days off from it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the world of these books, the characters are always charming enough to enjoy following them but something about this one just didn’t grip me as hard as others in Starfall but I wasn’t going to give up on this book half way through.
Cora was a fun lead for the story and Iggy was a decent enough romantic male lead. Even knowing the rhythm of the way these stories play out wasn’t helping me through this time.
Although I think the main problem was more the amount of extra world building there was, fin folk stuff, other families, kelpie stuff (though once the egg hatches the story did pick up in my opinion) but if it had been a straight up romance it would have been much more boring for me.
But I feel like it was a necessary step for what comes next. Not every book can be amazing, some are just fine.

Cora Seaworth has spent most of her life tucked away from the magical chaos of the world—and it shows. She’s bookish, cautious, and totally unprepared for the whirlwind that is Iggy: a charming, multi-talented, and wildly unreliable human. Together, they stumble through spellbound shenanigans, romantic tension, and more magical mayhem than you can shake a wand at.
This is the second book in the series, and it hits that sweet spot of being easy to follow while still delivering frequent laughs and clever twists. Molly Harper’s signature humor shines, and the narration by Amanda Ronconi and Teddy Hamilton is expressive and perfectly tuned to the characters’ quirks.
If you love cozy fantasy with a dash of romance and a sprinkle of chaos, this one’s worth it.

I love this series. Such a fun and interesting story. Looking forward to the next one!

Eeek! We are back!!!! This time with the next sibling of the Seaworth family.
Cora has spent the majority of her life at Moonshadow Cove with her sisters. She spends most days locked in the library amongst the books. Iggy has many talents, but he has no true calling. His reputation on the Island is unreliable and a charmer. Sure, it is true, but he does have a dream but he lacks the confidence to go for it. His carefree life is about to end when he meets Cora and learns her secret. He gets dragged into the magical world and will try and help save Cora and her family from an ancient enemies knocking on their door. Will they save the Cove? Will Iggy grow up enough to be the man Cora needs? Can Cora even trust in love?
Make sure you at least read book 1 of this series. I would say the other series (this is a spin off) is important too, but the author gives us enough background of the other series so just at least read book 1 of this series.
Awwwww I love this author and I love these narrators. Eeeee. They are the perfect trio.
Cora is a woman of my own heart. She is my favorite of the sisters methinks.
The chemistry between Iggy and Cora are immediate, but Cora pushes him away to protect him BUT also to protect herself. He has a bad reputation on the island as a charmer and being unreliable. He disappears without a word for days. She can't bring him into the fold because she can't fully trust him.
The lust was quick, but it did a little bit for the love to come into play and I was here for it. It was a nice pace.
I did like getting to know James better. It's sounding like James and the older sister will be the couple in the next book. We shall see.
Oooo I'm curious if we'll see some sort of resolution with Iggy's twin sister. That girl is an angel and deserves happiness. *fingers crossed*
The narration was lovely as per normal. I can't imagine this series done by anyone else.
Issues? Mmmmmmmmmmmm the solutions seemed too easy. Hopefully we get some sort of battle or something in the next one. It felt too comfy if that makes sense. I also wasn't a huge fan of Iggy. If I was Cora I would've been hesitant too. BUUUUT I did warm up to him by the end.
All-in-all, I really liked this one. I can't wait for the next book!
4 stars.

This was the second book in the spinoff series that sets place in shadow Cove, which is hidden off a small island in Michigan. These three sisters are descendants of sea fairies.
Their parents died when they were younger one from a ghost and the other from a broken heart.
Book one was similar to this book it was about one of the sisters falling in love.
As well as their families, arch nemesis another magical family that has a vendetta against them because their family was Entrusted to care for the Loch Ness monsters baby (the other family believed it was their right to watch the egg, but the mother didn’t trust them) which was in an egg that could take hundreds of years before it was ready to hatch. In this book finally does hatch.
We had heard about Igor in some of the other books and he was love interest for the middle sister in this book. It was cute I actually liked their love story better than the younger sisters in book 1. Less grumpy & sunshine. As Iggy is like a golden retriever and he actually has a big dog 🐕 who might be a retriever, just a big goofy love ball.
The sisters found out they not only have to worry about the sand shears their families, arch nemesis, but now there are people from the Jasper society who were meant to protect,witch’s. Now there are bad ones in the society that want to steal the magic from witches because they’re upset they were born with no power.
Looks like James from the Jasper society will be the love interest to the oldest sister in the next book of this series.

the series continues and is just as quirky, sweet, and fantastically entertaining as the first book. i think i may have liked this one a bit more! this is such a delightful paranormal romance.
the eldest sister, Perry, narrates the prologue, just as she did in the first book, and the main story follows her sister, Cora (the middle sister) and Iggy, a talented pastry chef and “jack of all trades, master of none”. they meet in a sweet and hilarious way but things take a turn for the worse when he’s hit with a tranquilizer. she saves him but this also exposes where she and her sisters live in Moonshadow Cove. Iggy is not just surprised but wowed by it all and vows to keep their secrets.
Cora and Iggy have great chemistry, banter, and touching moments. i enjoyed that as their relationship is developing, so are the subplots regarding the Jasper Society and how the Seaworth sisters have to deal with the family rivalry with the Sandshears.
this was a delight! more fin-folk lore, more ghosts and more witches! i love all of the water magic and experiencing the sisters becoming more powerful as they are put into new and unexpected situations. this was another fun and quick read and i cannot wait to read the conclusion to the series (fingers crossed the wait won’t be too long!!) 🍎 🍏 ☕️ 🐶 ☺️🥰👻🌊👀📚✨💞

Hex Around and Find Out is another entertaining witchy read from Molly Harper. With lots of magical and ghostly goings on, this Audible original romance is perfect for fall mood listening.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Seawitch Cora Seaworth and her sisters protect their ghostly charges and a mysterious egg in Moonshadow Cove. But when lovable local baker Iggy Galinsky ends up getting in the middle of a magical feud, Cora has no choice but to rescue him and take him to the Cove to recover. As the two spend more time together, it’s clear that instead of freaking him out, all the magical intrigue fascinates Iggy. But can Cora truly let him into her inner circle and the danger that lurks there?
This story has lots and lots of magical world building, and, while it’s not a must, I’d recommend reading book 1, Go Hex Yourself, first. Even knowing all the world building background, though, there are times where the magical mysteries and feuds driving the plot upstage the very sweet romance. Both Cora and Iggy are intensely likable characters, but it’s tough to get a grasp on what their relationship looks like when they are not in the midst of magical mayhem.
The audiobook narration is entertaining, and made this book come to life. Amanda Ronconi and Teddy Hamilton both narrated book 1 as well, and it was fun to revisit this universe with them.
Hex Around and Find Out is a light witchy romance that’s perfect for fall mood reading. If you like a paranormal story with a cinnamon roll hero who can bake them too, you’ll have a good time in this magical world.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a gifted copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Story: 3 stars
Narration: 5 stars
I didn’t like the first book very much (I do usually like this author a lot) and generally I liked this one better, but there was a section in the middle that was pretty annoying.
Iggy is with Cora’s family for a period of time-for reasons. When it’s okay for him to leave, he can’t tell anyone where he was. First his sister treats him like a child. How old is he? I swear at one point he’s referred to as a teenager and somewhere else there’s a reference to 37 or 38 or something. Everyone treats him like he’s young, including his twin sister. The older sister attitude wears real thin. Anyway he needs to play up being flighty so nobody questions where he was-to protect Cora and her family-and then she’s judging him because of the local gossip about him and she never thinks oh yeah HE WAS WITH ME. Unless she did during the rest of the chapter I skipped at that point because everyone was annoying and dumb.
If you haven’t read anything by this author she has better stuff so I would recommend anything else.
Narrators are two of my favorites and they were great.

this book started really good. it was exciting and hilarious and i anticipated the conflict and the thrill. then it slowly became boring halfway. it was annoying towards the end. Amelia's all of a sudden appearance being the bad guy from and underground group. when the villain was started as a different coven who wants to takeover the moonshadow cove and the egg haven't even been fully explored. the plot or i would say plots are all over the place. the world building was meh. all the other things i was expecting to be explored were left hanging. like the power connection between Iggy and Cora, how their union is connected with the egg hatching, how is it related to Iggy suddenly seeing ghosts. i mean why was that? i am throughly disappointed.
the only acceptable thing about this book was the romance. which i wasn't really feeling all too well too.
it was also weird starting the story with Perry's POV when this one is about Iggy and Cora.
there is apparently a third book ending it with James' POV.

Back in Starfall Point, we continue following the story of 3 magic sea witches, a tight family that after being threatened by another rival family has started to grow and breach out into the outside world.
In this book we have Cora, the middle sister. An introvert and book lover that has always been the balance between her two sisters.
She began exploring more freely their town, outside of their cove, and on one of those walks she meets Iggy. Carefree, sweet, lighthearted and funny Iggy (and chaotic Mimi). When she is in danger and he is in the middle she has no vhoice but to let him in. But how will he react? Can someone who never takes anything seriously be trusted with centuries old secrets? And with her heart?
I had fun reconecting with these characters and I really liked both main characters. They were kind of opposites but really complemented each other and we could really see them click.
Both their families and meddling ghosts were still a main part of the story and I loved that continuity.
I'll be waiting for Perry and James's story next!

Molly Harper is an “always-read” author for me. This is the second installment of the Moonshadow Cove cozy-fantasy series that follows the 3 Seaworth sisters. It’s related to the Starfall Point series that takes place on an island in Port Huron, Michigan. As if all of that isn’t enough, Hex Around and Find Out is narrated by two if my favorite narrators. The characters are unique and fully realized. I was instantly connected to the characters and invested in the story. While ends were tied up nicely, there will be a third book so some of the plot will carry over. This cozy fantasy has minor spice and major humor. I wish there was a written version that I could read again, so I’ll settle for listening again to go back to my favorite little island. Bonus points for animals (including Shortbread, the baby kelpy) that fit perfectly into this fantasy world and have personalities all of their own.

So much happened in this one. From the egg finally hatching and what a ride that was when it happened and the aftermath, to the two covens speaking more, to learning so much more about magic and those that are there to police witches. Not all of this was good and the sisters did what they could to roll with things, but it was hard. Then you add in the chaos that Iggy and his dog brought, along with a bit of romance for Iggy and Cora...whew...so many changes around the cove. Things ended well for the sisters and Iggy, they know more, have more allies and seem better ready for what else will come their way.

After generations of a feud against another seawitch family, the ladies of Moonshadow Cove and their nearby town are under attack. Cora rarely ventures out of the cove but one day while she's in town, she has a run in with a local man and his wrecking-ball of a dog.
Review
I'm going to be honest: I picked this up solely because Teddy Hamilton was a narrator and while he did a great job as always, the book just kinda stinks. Iggy is insanely irresponsible but turns on a dime and is instantly smitten with Cora after she-- *checks notes*-- abducts him when he gets drugged.

I'm a longtime fan of Molly Harper's books. And while I wish the written book comes out when the audio book does, I will take what I can get! Iggy and Petra ( and MiMi) were some of my favorite background characters in the star fall point series, and I love getting more of their history and bond. Iggy, is an adorable character who deserves some growth and love, and Cora needs someone like Iggy in her life.

Loved this one!
I would love to visit Moonshadow Cove and the Seaworth sisters. Cora Seaworth has spent her life living in a magical cottage in Moonshadow Cove along with her two sisters. Protecting the secrets of the Cove, along with being the guardians of a kelpie egg, Cora assumes that that’s all life has in store for her. But life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it, enter the carefree, local baker and charmer Iggy Galinsky.

2.5 stars rounded up. This fell a little flat for me - I am so bummed because I so enjoyed the first book in this series. I didn't NOT enjoy this... it just kind of, was there. I really liked Iggy, but some of that might have to do with Teddy Hamilton narrating him. Cora was boring. I know that's sort of intentional, but can the girl give me SOMEthing.
I will finish out this trilogy, as I'm eager to see what comes of Perri & James.

I have no idea how I managed to be so silly that I read the 2nd book first lol I just read the 75 ice planet barbarians series, in order, and get confused over a book duo, just like me to do.
least favorite quote:
"I'm not a virgin and frankly, I'm very good. That's the thing about books, you learn things."
He nodded slowly and she worried he was going to be upset about ruining the virgin sea siren fantasy.

Unfortunately, I think I finally grown out of Molly Harper‘s shifter fantasy romance, genre books. This one and the last Mystic Bayou book that I read just didn’t do it for me. I typically love all of her stories and I just could not get into this one and I feel like I need to step away from her books for a minute to bring back my love of everything she’s written.

The second in the series. This is about the second sister, Cora. She finds out she can access more of her magic and turn into a true FinFolk. She falls for the town "flake" Iggy.
It was a cute story. Not as catching as the first. Im still interested to see where the story takes me. There is still alot of unanswered questions about their lives and what has transpired thus far.

I absolutely loved the character development of both Cora and Iggy. Hex Around and Find out made me smile, laugh, fan myself, and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I listened to the audiobook and the voice actors did amazing as well! If Teddy Hamilton is narrating, I already know I'm going to love the book!

2.5 - It was cheesy and juvenile. Listen, I love cheesy romcoms and I love fantasy, but this just didn't do it for me. It felt disjointed and more complicated than it needed to be/for the payoff. This is the 2nd book of the series (which I didn't realize starting it) but I don't think reading the first book first would have helped.

It’s a cutesy, cozy ,small town, witchy , paranormal , romance that is a decent listen. The story was pretty interesting but some of the characters were meh. Iggy was not my fav Mmc, he just seemed more like a teenager (he’s 30?) than Josh the actual teenager. The narrators were awesome though. Still a cute little listen for the autumnal season

Unfortunately, I DNF’d this book. I just couldn’t get into it. It had a hallmark movie sort of vibe but was world building like a major fantasy book. Just for me…the two did not mesh. The audiobook itself is very well narrated. But I just couldn’t get into it.
