Book Review: Restless Bones on Crystal Lake (Moon Investigations #2) by B. Batiste

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 out of 5 stars

Picking up almost precisely where Witch Hunt on Crystal Lake left off, Restless Bones finds our heroine Hazel trying to juggle her private investigations business while attending classes at the local magical academy. But her next case isn’t going to be easy when her friend and colleague is accused of murder and all the evidence seems to say she is guilty. With little more than faith in her friend, Hazel and her associates must try to prove Lola’s innocence.

I love the premise of this series. Hazel is just a good woman who happens to have some (maybe more than some… time will tell) magical powers, but in her world, so does everyone else. What sets Hazel apart is her genuine goodness. Her wiliness to do what is right even when it’s not easy. Restless Bones is a quick, light read. The story doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s an escape, and a darn good one! At times, I was a little confused by some of the flashback sequences, it took me a while to get back into the groove of Ms. Batiste’s writing style, but once I did I just let the tides of Crystal Lake carry me along for the ride.

As with so many of the books I read and review here, you can read Restless Bones on Crystal Lake for FREE on Kindle Unlimited here.
