Pepper Dunn can’t catch a break. As soon as life settles down in the magical town of Magnolia Cove, Alabama, the sorcerer Rufus Mayes appears, hell-bent on stealing Pepper’s powers for himself.
When Rufus casts a spell that links his magic to hers, Pepper is determined to break the connection at all costs. Luckily, she doesn’t have to look too far for help. When an aging wizard agrees to assist her, victory is at hand.
But when the wizard winds up dead, all hope is lost. Will Pepper find a way to break the spell cast against her, or will she stay linked to Rufus forever?

Sorcery, Werewolves, and Suicide…

Southern Sorcery by Amy Boyles is an adventure filled book. So many things were going on. I wasn’t sure what was connected and what wasn’t. One lesson to remember is that mental health issues happen to everyone even witches. But we are also reminded that love can be the bridge that saves us all.

Below are just some of the things happening to the Sweet Tea Witches in this installment:

  • Rufus gets around the Magnolia Cove Protection Spell and puts a spell on Pepper to steal her powers (which we know from the last book’s cliffhanger).
  • Rufus gets caught and put in jail.
  • Elderly witches and wizards are dying, supposedly by suicide.
  • Pepper and Axel search for a way to remove Rufus’ spell. Getting closer to each other as they do it.
  • Cordelia’s previous boyfriend, Zach returns and wants her back. Decisions. Sheriff Garrick or Zack?
  • Amelia gets a new job.
  • Minty and Licky arrive in town just in time to spread some chaos. Oh, and who knew magical lions like tomatoes?
  • Betty is, of course, Betty. Yep, she is still my favorite character.

And maybe Betty would call ahead with magic. Heck, I didn’t have a phone, but that little lady had more power in one of her boobs than I had in my whole body. I wasn’t one hundred percent sure of that, but I was pretty darned positive.

Boyles, Amy. Southern Sorcery (Sweet Tea Witch Mysteries Book 4) (Kindle Locations 2191-2193). LADYBUGBOOKS LLC. Kindle Edition.

Things I liked:

  • Flying Ashton Marten (with spotlights)
  • The town vault, truly ingenious.
  • Magical guard lions.
  • The Magical Hat Shop.
  • Pepper used her powers, and she figured out Rufus’ plan before the others. (I am so happy for her).
  • Pop culture references that Pepper used but the other witches don’t get.

The only thing that I disliked was the cliffhanger ending. However, it worked I am ready to read the next book, Southern Curses. Good thing that it was released earlier this month.

5 Stars for Southern Sorcery by Amy Boyles

I truly enjoyed Southern Sorcery by Amy Boyles, and therefore my rating is five stars. I enjoy spending time in Magnolia Cove with Pepper and her family. This book is my favorite in the Sweet Tea Witch Mysteries series so far. I am starting the installment Southern Curses, let’s hope that it is as good. If you haven’t read this series of cozy paranormal mysteries, then you should check them out. Pepper and her family are pretty funny.
