From Bad to Cursed

I very much enjoyed the characters and their relationship in this book! So much fun for a rainy afternoon. The ending was magical, too. <3

> slight spoilers ahead<

I will say, the mystery element wasn't super engaging at first–I think because of the lack of viable suspects, perhaps, or because I didn't understand enough of the world at first to see how the crime could be investigated? However, the conclusion to it was very satisfying and all my questions were answered. I really liked how it circled back around to the beginning, too!

Overall, the attitude and sheer fun of this book was very engaging. I'll most likely check out the others in the series :)

This author writes dialogue in a way that made me think she was at least in her 50s and trying to write 20-somethings while never actually having interacted with 20-somethings - to the point where I could actively only take a few pages at a time due to the sheer amount of cringe it induced? So this is like, 2.5 rounded up just because I love the witchy small town vibe, so while I sort of can't stand the characters, I will in fact be reading the entire series

From Bad to Cursed is completely different from the first book in “The Witches of Thistle Grove” series. Lana Harper gives us a mystery in the second book of the series.

I love this second entry of the series and I cannot wait for the third book.
