All Swell That Ends Spell by Trixie Silvertale

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "All Swell That Ends Spell" by Trixie Silvertale the 2nd instalment in the Paranormal Magical Renaissance Faire Mysteries.

A dubious festival. A fatal swim. Can this fortune-telling fairy herald the true killer?

Coriander the Conjurer is trapped in a cursed Renaissance Faire, but that’s the good news. Her usual routine of reading patrons’ futures and compensating for her lopsided fairy wings is interrupted when a scuffle turns deadly. Now, in order to broker peace within the realm she must solve a mermaid's murder.

Convincing the gorgeous Mer prince to allow her to investigate seems the only option. But she’ll need the help of a dangerous vampire and her meddling toad familiar to uncover the real clues. With doxies, scoundrels, and panderers aplenty, it won’t be easy to suss out the truth!

Can Coriander’s fairy dust save the day, or will her inquiry end as a tragedy?

All Swell That Ends Spell is the second book in the humorous paranormal cozy series, Magical Renaissance Faire Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural misfits, and a splash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s crooked caper.

I enjoyed this 2nd instalment, and visiting the cursed Renaissance Faire again. I found it to be a fun read and Cori and her talking toad Horton are delightful. The characters are vivid and lively, even when one is a talking toad! The mystery in the plot is well thought out, with many twists and turns. I liked the Mermaid aspect as well.

There were plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing on who the culprit was. Overall this was a great paranormal cozy and I hope there will be plenty more to come.

We get a happy ending but know that we will soon revisit this place, and I for one, can’t wait!

I highly recommend this series to all my friends.
