Author Endorsements: "No wonder this Bewitching Mystery Series has turned Madelyn Alt into a National Bestselling Author. It's quirky, enchanting, mystical, and addictive . . . not to be missed." ~~ Annette Blair, National Bestselling Author of The Triplet Witch series
"Once again, Alt has created a delightful Witchy mystery novel filled with endearing and quirky characters. An excellent read!" ~~ Laura Stamps, author of The Witches of Dixie Reviews: "I have a feeling this series is going to be a hit!" ~~ FreshFiction.com for THE TROUBLE WITH MAGIC "Mystery fans who seek out "feel-good" reads for their literary escapism (books by authors like Janet Evanovich, Charlaine Harris, Kyra Davis, et al.) should definitely check out Alt's Bewitching Mystery saga, which is powered by her Everywoman heroine O'Neill. A small-town girl struggling to find her place in the world, she has an optimistic and idealistic outlook on an oftentimes malevolent and depressing reality -- as well an addiction to old episodes of Magnum P.I. -- that makes her one of the most refreshing and endearing protagonists to grace the amateur sleuth genre in years. Alt certainly picked the right name for this series. It's a bewitching saga by a positively witchy chick. Highly recommended." ~~ Paul Goat Allen, former editor for Barnes & Noble's Ransom Notes Mystery Newsletter "A magical, spellbinding mystery that enchants readers with its adorable heroine." ~~ The Best Reviews for A CHARMED DEATH "A fascinating ride . . . A hint of romance with much intrigue, mystery, and magic in a small Midwestern town setting." ~~ Roundtable Reviews for THE TROUBLE WITH MAGIC "Forecasting the future, Madelyn Alt has a surefire winner on her hands." ~~ Midwest Book Review "Madelyn Alt has created fantastic characters that possess depth and charm. The storyline is taut, suspenseful and bewitching. . . A Charmed Death is a fun, fast-paced, clever, spirited tale, peopled with a terrific ensemble of characters." ~~ Betty Cox, ReadertoReader.com "Talented author Madelyn Alt will have the reader willingly believing that Maggie O'Neill is a living breathing human not a character in a book. And, you'll just have to visit Enchantments, the lovely shop where she works." ~~ Anne K. Edwards, ReadertoReader.com A review of THE TROUBLE WITH MAGIC on CozyMysteries by Sarah Porter A review of A CHARMED DEATH on Helium.com by Joana Rodriguez What have readers been saying? "No Rest for the Wiccan ~~ Amberkatze's Book Blog on NO REST FOR THE WICCAN "Have you tried . . . Madelyn Alt? Madelyn Alt is the author of the Bewitching Mystery series of books. Set in the small town of Stony Mill, Indiana, this series chronicles the adventures of Maggie O’Neill: diehard Magnum, P.I. fan and wouldbe ghosthunter. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries with a bit of a paranormal twist, then the books in the Bewitching Mystery series are ones I recommend you add to your TBR list!" ~~ Kelly Watson, 52books.org "HEX MARKS THE SPOT . . . another good read!" ~~ Ellen in Atlanta, Amazon.com "Overall, the real story is Maggie's burgeoning belief in the paranormal, which mirrors her personal growth & has been a delight to follow throughout the series. She seriously questions her feelings for two romantic interests in this book, which is a twist that I did not see coming in previous books. When I started this series, I did not expect the books to have so much heart, but Maggie's personal journey has made "The Bewitching Series" a worthwhile read." ~~ Sarahlen1980, Amazon.com "Madelyn Alt's stories are truly "Bewitching." ~~ B. E. Shriver, Amazon.com "Like sharing stories with a girlfriend." ~~ jewelfairie, Amazon.com "Quality cozy mystery -- done right! As the third book in the series, Madelyn Alt has managed to show you characters that grow and you start to feel attached to them. This is the key to good story telling and Ms Alt has it down. There is a natural progression, since Maggie is hesitant to jump into Wicca and everything paranormal, this story shows Maggie, and the reader, that even "wholesome" folks such as Amish may have sides we don't understand and thus are afraid of. Bringing us back to the fact that any spiritual path is only as good as the individual's intent. So Maggie has more to contemplate by the end concerning her spirituality. The characters are truly delightful and the plot is credible. The romantic tension that begun in book 1 has been developed and continues in this one, making me scream for the next installment to find out how this and that turns out!" ~~ sevenmoonlight, Amazon.com "Cannot wait for the next one!" ~~ Julie Bryant, Amazon.com "I love the depth in the author's characters, their layers--talents, flaws, likes and dislikes, deepest desires and darkest fears. They're real. People you want to know. People I feel as if I do know simply because I've read about them." ~~ Annette Blair, national bestselling author and paranormal reader extraordinaire :) |
