MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Crystals and Corpses by Jacki James by Lori Ames 4 of 5 stars
Declan discovers he’s a witch and is thrown into Ravenstone, a quirky supernatural town where magic, monsters, and strong coffee are part of daily life. When a vampire is murdered during the Magic Festival, he teams up with Gideon, a handsome wolf shifter who can’t shift but has plenty of protective instincts. Between magical mishaps, meddling creatures, and growing feelings, the two must work together to catch a killer — and maybe fall in love along the way.
I loved that Declan and Gideon have an undeniable connection that sparks from the moment they meet, and it only grew stronger as they’re thrown into the chaos of Ravenstone. I loved watching Declan stumble his way through discovering the supernatural world — and his own magic — with equal parts wonder, panic, and determination. His journey of self‑discovery adds so much charm to the story, especially with Gideon right there beside him, steady and protective in all the ways that matter. Their chemistry is warm, passionate, and full of promise, the kind that makes you excited for what comes next. Add in a gripping murder mystery, quirky magical mishaps, and a town full of supernatural oddballs, and this becomes a fun, engaging read with a romance that feels like it’s only just beginning. This was an MM story with mature content.
