By: Tara Lush

Narrated by: Anna Maste

Pickleball, poison, and psychic powers collide in this wickedly fun paranormal cozy mystery!

When Amelia Matthews agrees to a friendly game of pickleball, she never expects it to end in murder. But that's exactly what happens when her opponent drops dead on the court. Now, Amelia and her coven sisters must serve up justice before one of their own gets framed for the crime.

With her psychic gifts working overtime, a stolen journal full of secrets, and a ghostly bureaucrat wreaking havoc, Amelia's got her hands full. Can she navigate the cutthroat world of small-town art galleries, expose a web of lies, and unmask a killer? Or will this be game, set, and match for the murderer?

Join Amelia in her fifth magical misadventure as she proves once again that in Cypress Grove, Florida, the only thing more powerful than witchcraft is friendship. SERVING UP HEX is a blend of midlife mystery, supernatural shenanigans, and a sprinkle of romance. This is the fifth installment of the Crescent Moon Mystery series, and it’s a full-length novel. Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, and Only Murders in the Building!

Enjoyable story

I liked the narrator very much. The writing is easy to get into and an enjoyable plot. I have not listened to or read any of the other books in the series, but I had no problem getting into the story. The main characters & supporting characters are fun. I like everything about the book. I tend to listen to my books more than read them and this was a perfect listening story!

not all is as it seems

I have really enjoyed this series, and they keep getting better and better. So much going on in this adventure for Amelia. Loved seeing her solve the crime and taking me along with her. I listened to this one on audible and the narrator did an amazing job of making me "see" what was happening. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Fun Witchy Joy

This book was magical and fun! The narrator has done a fantastic job bringing the main character Amelia to life (along with the rest of the characters). This book is fun, intriguing, and empowering. If you are needing a break from the stresses of life. I’d highly recommend!

Thank you to the author for supplying an advance reader copy. All thoughts are my own and my reviews are always honest.

The story starts with action almost right away and keeps you interested all through.

The action begins right away and keeps your interest elevated. I love Amelia's character and her friends really add to the sense of community that Amelia has built since arriving in town. The magical and mystical parts of this story add fun and adventure making you laugh and wish you had the same abilities. I am looking forward to the next book!

Pickleball can be murder

Renee has convinced Amelia to join the coven's pickleball team. The first game she's to play should have been a fun game, but one of the men they are playing against is taking the game too seriously. When he collapses during the game and dies, Renee is accused of using witchcraft to kill him. Renee is innocent, so they decide to look into what was really going on with the victim and his art gallery. With Oliver's help they uncover information about a couple of the people involved with the gallery and realize a lot more is going on then they first realized.
I really enjoyed listening to this book and can't wait for the nextone.

What a fun cozy

Even though I’m new, it was so easy to follow. I didn’t feel left behind with the characters or anything. The magical element was a fun touch. This had all the great cozy elements. Small town, amateur sleuth, and friends who encourage you to do sketchy things!

I love the whole community. Women coming together. So great.

Whoops!

I love these stories even though I usually read spicer books. The story line is great and I’m a Gen-X woman. Tara is spot on.
