Bad Luck Charm

This book is such a fun premise. I loved the Halloween setting and the contrast between a serious witchy murder investigation and a cafe/occult shop in Salem.

I had a harder time enjoying the characters and the writing. Foreshadowing was a little heavy-handed for my taste. Sentences were very long and very wordy. I had to reread sentences multiple times to understand them.The characters are witty and the banter is fun, but overall they fell a little flat to me. By the end I wasn't even sure I liked them, and I had a hard time rooting for them to stay together at the end.

I'd still recommend giving it a shot. It's a fun fall read. Other people might find they love the writing style and the characters. This book sets up the next one too.
