Well we are finally in the Coastal Magic Reading Challenge Season. I can't wait for another great few months of reading a variety of new books. As always there are some new to me authors, some old favorites, and some that I wouldn't ordinarily read but I'll give them a try. The convention will be held in Daytona Beach in February 2027. If you would like to join me for the convention or give the reading challenge a try check out click this link to check out Coastal Magic Convention. Watch for the #CMCon27 in my reviews for books that are part of the reading challenge.
And now for the reviews:
Once Upon a Midnight Clear: A Cinderella Retelling by Michelle MilesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This twist to the Cinderella story has a bit of Christmas magic and some fairytale mash-ups. Ella meets her fairy godmother but there is more to her under the surface. Nick is a perfect prince who is keeping his own secrets. When you mix in a Christmas star, kidnapped girl, magic mirror, and a band of pirates you get a great action story along with your romance. This was a great fairytale remake where the princess is just as strong, brave, and determined as any prince could hope to be. I really enjoyed this story. #CMCon27

Tallahassee's Manual on Arcane Artifacts by Kevin A. DavisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kristen is continuing her work with the DRC but there always seems to be more to learn. In the meantime there are problems in Tallahassee that need the team to solve. Things seem to get out of hand but in the end Kristen’s skill set seems to save the day. There was lots of danger, death, and disarray to get to the bottom of this case. #CMCon27

XOXO, Vaughn by A.W. ScottMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
We finally get to the mysterious Vaughn. He’s been at the edge of the group for a while. We’ve had time to speculate what he does for a living and why he’s the way he is. Lyric has his own back story that led to a different kind of connection with Vaughn that has feelings building up that could not be expressed. Both are caught off guard when they are suddenly in the same IRL space. Most of the story is building tension between them until finally it’s time. I love the sweetness of their relationship once they acknowledge the truth.

Slaying at the Saloon by Beth DolgnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I like how this episode Olivia is settled into her life in Nightmare but a new murder puts the whole sanctuary on high alert. I like the way the story weaves us between different characters as Olivia looks for motives and leads. I also enjoyed seeing more of Damien and what deeper mysteries await. #CMCon27

Cups of You by Karmen LeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Amber has to come help her aunt but she also needs time to reassess some things about her life. She stops for coffee and something about owner Benjamin catches her attention. I like watching Amber work through her thoughts and feelings. I also appreciate how Benjamin knew when to move forward and when to step back.. This is a great small town romance. #CMCon27
