Ratings and reviews

3.5 out of 4 This was a different mystery, even though this is the third book, I'm used to the formula that has been established in the first two books. Amy is not working with Ambrose in this one, instead she is on her own. However, it is obvious that she has been paying attention and is willing to work on solving the case without Ambrose to help her. The romance between the pair definitely goes up in this one, but it was nice to see. I enjoyed seeing her spend time with her friend's outside of Ambrose, so I'm all for bringing the bonds of her friends in. It was a different read but still interesting. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Amy and Ambrose are in a real pickle in Rites and Knights, the third book in Amethyst's Wand Shop Mysteries, in which they aim to solve serial murders that are directly tied to Ambrose. The characters are as compelling as ever and keep the reader engaged. As always, Grammie pitches in where she can, and even Herbert, the family Gargoyle, lends a sympathetic ear when Ambrose needs a little advice. Amy's quirky older sister, Topaz, drops in and stirs up trouble. Her new BFFs Stacey, the coroner/necromancer, and the mysterious Van, keep Amy sane and in need of a sobering-up potion. All of the action and drama do not keep Amy off the trail of solving this crime. She even teams up with Dean, whom everyone sees as a rival to Ambrose. After this book, my opinion of him changed a bit. With suspense, action, a fun girls' night out, a huge mystery, intrigue, and finally some romance between Amy and Ambrose, Rites and Knights does not disappoint. The epilogue leads into book four, Sparks and Marks, and it looks to be another compelling mystery story. I can hardly wait! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

They just can't seem to catch a break. Ambrose is accused of murder and Amy is determined to prove he's innocent. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence but nothing factual. With all of Amy's efforts, she finally convinces Dean to become a believer as well and he's accused of the murders and things are back to square one!! It's finally determined it's an inside job and have it narrowed down to two people. They wind up catching the killer but there's a huge price to pay. Oh, and don't let me forget that Amy's sister Topaz appears and winds up getting arrested for using magic in public. There are twists and turns in this whodunit with the slow burn of a building romance. A great way to just escape.
