The quiet of Mystic Cove is disturbed once more and Scarlett and Lex are thrown together once again.
The community cannot rest easy with something being amiss. Especially not Scarlett who is being forced to deal with Grant, Jen and their new baby.
Scarlett could really use Gus's help and friendship, but he is still MIA. New bonds are made and old ones are being tested.

This is the 3rd book in this series and I really enjoy the concept with its magical residents, including Druids and witches. Scarlett has returned home with her two gifted daughters after a failed marriage to a normal, and is trying to make a new loving home life for them, complete with family and friends. But things go wrong when her ex-husband shows up unexpectedly in town demanding to visit with his girls...children he once called "freaks" in anger. But worse than his presence is the fact that he is soon the main suspect in a murder. Scarlett has to clear his name, if only for the sake of her daughters. I love the growing relationships Scarlett has with her sister and mother, as well as her young girls. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt like it lacked some depth and emotion that the first two stories had. Having said that, I already have the next book on preorder!

Loving this series
Scarlett is every mother who has faced divorce with children. She is all that and more because of her being druid, but most women will really RELATE to Scarlett. The mystery is right there also; the answers come quickly and it's interesting. But the real story is about Scarlett and a mother's love.

Great Series!
A fun, interesting cozy murder mystery written around a large family of druids who live in a town almost all populated with people who have magic. Intersting characters and stories that not only keep you interested, but make you want to read more of their stories.
