THE NEW PARANORMAL When Violet Mooney’s coworker and fellow witch calls to say that their Connecticut crystals shop, The Full Moon, has been selected as a vendor at the Spring Equinox Fair, it’s welcome news.

It’s no easy feat when her family seems to be the target of a power-grab within the realm, putting the entire magickal community on edge—and setting Violet on a mission . . . With her investigation conjuring more questions than answers, Violet tries to focus on the Fair, which is being run by one of her personal heroes.

To uncover the motives behind the mayhem in both the mortal and magickal worlds, Violet is going to need more than a crystal ball. And it’ll take all the powers she’s been honing—plus some she didn’t know she had—to save herself . . .

So, here's the deal. Violet Mooney's coworker, who happens to be a fellow witch, gives her some good news. Their crystals shop, The Full Moon, got chosen as a vendor for the Spring Equinox Fair in Connecticut. This is a big deal for Violet since she's been trying to learn her magical craft while avoiding any kind of trouble. Which ain't easy when her family is caught up in a power struggle within the magical realm. It's got everyone on edge and now Violet's on a mission.
While she tries to figure things out, she focuses on the Fair. And guess what? The Fair is being organized by one of her personal heroes, Horatio Hale! He's all about ethical crystal mining and that's pretty cool. But turns out not everyone feels the same way because shockingly enough, when Violet attends a meeting, she finds Horatio dead with an axe stuck in his chest! Crazy stuff, right? Now Violet has to dig deep and use more than just a crystal ball if she wants to uncover the truth behind all the chaos happening in both the mortal and magical worlds. She'll need every power she's honed so far—and even discover some new ones—to save herself.
Alrighty then, let me spill the tea about this book. If you remember my previous review about the second book in this series, you'll know I couldn't stand Violet and that seriously impacted my rating. But guess what? In this installment, Violet was a thousand times less annoying! Yay for progress! As a result, I ended up really enjoying this one. The writing was great and kept me engaged from start to finish. The pacing was on point and the world-building was top-notch. Plus, the characters were super likable too. I can't wait for the next book in this series!!
