A Brew for Chaos review

Tari Hann

This is the third and long-awaited book in the Enchanted Bay Mystery series by Esme Addison, and I absolutely loved it! It took a little while to get reacquainted with everyone, but it didn’t take super long for me to remember what I liked about each character. I’d love to see more books in the series!

A Brew for Chaos (Enchanted Bay Mysteries Book 3)A Brew for Chaos by Esme Addison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first two books in this series, then it took a hiatus, but since I get the author’s newsletter, I knew it was gonna return at some point. This book was bigger than the first two combined with shocking revelations and secrets, but there was plenty of family love, support and togetherness going on as well. There were so many different things happening, it was hard to trust anyone except for the main players meaning Alex and her immediate family. Her boyfriend Jack had a secret, his mother had one she didn’t realize she had, there was a murder and a friend of Alex’s was looking into an old cold case. But there was an epic showdown, and help came for Alex from a really unexpected but super welcome source. After the very ending, I’m so eager now to read the next book!

A Hex for Danger review

Tari Hann

This is the second book in the Enchanted Bay series, one of my personal fave new series out there, and it’s by Esme Addison. I loved this series when I first read it last year, and now I can’t wait for the third book. As you’ll see in my review, I highly recommend that if you haven’t read the first book, it’s best to start with that book before moving to this book. I just love Alex’s sweet German Shepherd, Athena and wish she was in the book just a little more. What a cutie, as you can see from both this book cover and the first.

I liked that everything was well-explained for the mysteries going on in the book too. There may be a character carryover which is always why I recommend reading book one first. Thanks to Kensington Books for providing the ARC to NetGalley!

A Hex for Danger (An Enchanted Bay Mystery #2)A Hex for Danger by Esme Addison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so happy to get to read this second book in the Enchanted Bay series before it comes out next Tuesday. I really enjoyed the first book, and this book was definitely not a disappointment. We got to learn even more about the key characters. I’ll caution anyone who hasn’t read the first book though: do yourself a favor and read it before reading this one, because there are a few mentions of things that happened in the first book that you may not want to know before you read said first book. This is a series that I can see will be building on each book as far as the history of the families involved, so starting from the beginning is a very good thing!

There were a couple of different cases, and it was interesting to see if they’d be related. Without giving too much away, let’s just say I didn’t guess anything all that well. Lots of surprises and secrets were kept and shared. Alex was left with the sense of family though that she’d longed for all the years she was without, and we did get to find out the particulars behind her memory being erased as she was talking about in the first book. I really enjoy Alex’s character and her amazing aunt and cousins too. This book publishes July 13, 2021.
