"A combination of love, romance, magic, and mystical beings"? All the makings of a great novel! I wonder what will happen to Stephan and Maribelle. I'll definitely check this book out!

The unexpected twists in the early pages, changing the anticipated love story between Marbelle and Stephan, are what truly make this book stand out as a striking read.

An honest and well-written review of a book I will not read, since it contains profanity and sex, sorcery and...everything I don't like.

Battle between families are always tragical. This case is very intriguing, as finding drowned people is not an everyday experience. I sounds horrible and I can imagine what goes through each of the familyes heads.

Interesting! The love story between Stefan and Maribelle sounds fascinating. However, I'd also like to know its connection with sorcery, magic, warlocks, and so on that are associated with the book.

The book title and cover reads to me that something mysterious is lurking in Mystic Lake. Any book that takes me on a journey and uses magic is my type of read, so I am going to give this one a chance. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

The Curse of the Mystic Lakes is a book filled with magic, sorcery, love, and much more. The drownings at the lake and the ensuing chaos between the two families sounds like a captivating beginning to the book. I'm curious to learn what happens to Stephan and Maribelle and if the detective's intuition is accurate. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Today's BOTD is a thriller that mixes elements of love and romance with magic and sorcery. Although this isn't the one for me, readers of the genre will thoroughly enjoy this well-written engaging read, as it's filled with well-developed characters and a storyline that keeps you in suspense. Thanks so much for the review! :-)

No third party should involve themselves in a mutual love interest between two individuals. Clarissa is definitely the sour grape, causing the drama to unfold. Mystic Lake is full of mystery, and I wonder what it all turns out to be apart from magic. I'm looking forward to the character Ingrid and how she wields magical powers effortlessly and helps those in need.

A good review and I like it because I like the kind of romantic books, with suspense and sometimes with magic.I love the close bond of love between Maribelle Rowe and Stephan Marquette,being a rarity nowadays.Clarissa's possessive character certainly spices things up,she being the main cause of the tragedy at the lake.A story of suspense and magic, it is more than perfect to be added to my bookshelf :D
