One Last Spell
By Raven Snow
Zelda has sworn never to perform magic again. She's also sworn never to help solve a murder again -- last time she did both, disaster occurred. She's had it with magic, murder, and men.
She's happy with her life now, secluded on the mountainside in the small cozy town of Castlerock. No one bothers her and that's the way she likes it. But when her long lost best friend and police detective Jessica turns up on Zelda's doorstep one day everything changes. Jessica tells her there's been a murder in town and Zelda is the only one who can help.
Last time, things ended in disaster. Zelda's life and relationships were destroyed. Zelda however can't say no to her best friend, especially when she hears that the murder victim is someone Zelda knew - a fellow outcast. Now the case is personal in more ways than one. Zelda agrees to help out but only this one last time.
Zelda meets handsome but bumbling police recruit Josh, and she gets dragged further and further into the mystery, she might just have to rethink her stance on life. Maybe life back with the mortals might not be so bad after all, but things are not all they seem.
Can Zelda solve the case and put her past to rest?
Will Josh prove himself to be worthy of a witch's affections?
Will this really be Zelda's last spell?

MY REVIEW
Zelda is a
witch. The only other person to know her secret is her best friend Jessica,
who’s a police detective. When Zelda helps Jessica on a case, under the guise
of being a psychic, something goes awry and Zelda is blamed. So she drops out
of sight and becomes a hermit for a while. Then Jessica entices her by needing
her help with a case involving the murder of a suspected witch. But when Zelda
tries to help, she starts to doubt her powers. How can what she sees be the
truth?
I enjoyed this
story, although it felt like I was jumping into the middle of things that had
already happened. Of course they were explained later in the book. But that
didn’t help me to connect with the characters early enough. It made me
suspicious of everyone’s intentions. But then again, isn’t that what a mystery
is supposed to do?
