Back to the usual pacing and adventures of the Vampire Knitting Club.  This series is like your favorite t-shirt.  Not great for everything, but you go back to it a few times a month.

Interesting start but the ending and the reveal of the murderer were every rushed

Lucy choosing Rafe makes me angry. There’s a significant power imbalance and there’s no apparent reason he even likes he. I like the rest of the characters, even Sylvia who is awful but at least she has motivations and character development.

This story is pretty typical for the series, but it solidified my impression that this series has the most unromantic romantic plotlines — not in any offensive way, just casually unromantic and lacking any believable feelings. Most couples feel like casual colleagues with no hint of anything beyond professional interest. When they start suddenly spouting declarations of deepest love and undying devotion, the result is unintentionally laugh-out-loud hilarious, and therefore highly entertaining, but less believable than stumbling into an interplanetary convention of little green men at your local groceries shop would have been.

For those, who like me, get a little bit annoyed when the magic takes a backseat, you'll be happy to know there's a good bit of magic in this one!

Also, I'm pretty sure it'll be obvious to anyone that
Violet is the one who gets hexed, and not Lucy, and I know that's obvious from the write-up, but I avoid the write-ups before reading (for just that reason), and I was dumbfounded by how long it took Lucy to figure out it was Violet who was hexed, though I guess I shouldn't be at this point, because Lucy really isn't ever that quick on the uptake.


Anyone else think that Margaret Twigg is, like, the worst head-of-coven ever?  Like, I get that she wants Lucy to practice her magic, but she's just so unhelpful.  And when your mentee actively avoids you because you're so awful, well, that's a problem...

Anyway - 

I didn't guess the whodunit this time, but I did guess that
the lady who died wasn't the intended target, because that seemed a little obvious.  Though I have a hard time feeling too sorry for her, considering she put a pretty massive hex on somebody just because she thought they were a potential romantic rival.


Lastly, the best part was Lucy finally
agreeing to marry Rafe!  Yay, girl!  Way to finally get your head out of your butt!  I didn't entirely buy the whole Rafe leaving thing, though.  Like, he literally told her a book or two ago that he could wait, because if there's one thing he has plenty of it's time... and now it's suddenly too hard to be around her?  Meh.  But at least we're finally moving along with that particular plotline!
