This was so good! It was Hardy Boys mixed with magic. It has mystery, humor, and drama. I really wasn't expecting the investigators to be using magic , or for it to have such an impact on the story, but I loved that aspect of the plot. I'm excited to see how Al, Pete, and Chuck's character arcs develop as the series goes on. In the meantime, I like that the volume ended in a way that allows it to feel complete as a standalone story.
I appreciated the reference to historical events too (this us set in 1969.) Connecting Pete's sexuality to his reaction to the Stonewall Riots was a net touch. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

If you're a fan of the Hardy Boys and any supernatural mystery, you'll love The Montague Twins: The Witch's Hand. The characters are all so loveable, and the story is reminiscent of the mystery tales I used to love and wish I could partake in as a kid. It is a graphic novel, whether or not that's your cup of tea, but it does make it a quick read, which makes it so much easier to keep re-reading it over and over again in anticipation for the next novel's arrival.
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Homophobia
Because of the era the story is set in there are mentions of Homophobia.
