Thank you to NetGalley for sending me this book to review! Woah! This was soo good! For fans of Criminal Minds and Practical Magic, this is the book for you. Leona and Jewel Spencer are two witches who live and work in the same small town. Leona can see and talk to ghosts and Jewel can whip up curses and spells. When a girl goes missing and the sherif asks for their help, the sisters use their talents to find her. This book is gory, funny, and mysterious. There is a little romance but not a lot. My only complaint about this book other than one or two plot holes was the accents. The town in in Ames, Iowa but the accents written in are wildly all over the place. I have friends from Ames and I know they sound nothing like this 50s or not. It definitely threw me off and made me think the book was set in Louisiana and not Iowa. Otherwise this book was a great fast mystery perfect for a magic lover!
