History, like magic, has a habit of repeating itself
It’s been six months since thirteen-year-old Alyssa McCarthy left magic behind for good. Or so she thought…

Then the enchanted objects that protected her disappear. Now a skeleton named Errol has cursed her with magical powers that keep getting her in trouble. Suddenly strange things are happening with disastrous effects, and if Alyssa can’t remove the magic, she will lose everything she holds dear.

In order to get rid of her unwanted wizardry, Alyssa will have to boost her bravery and confidence and determine who Errol really is. But every time Alyssa uses an enchantment, Errol is one step closer to getting his flesh back and becoming alive, and he will do anything to achieve his goals…even if it means destroying Alyssa’s happiness.

Originally published in 2016 as “Wizardry Goes Wild” and “The Unruly Curse” in 2019, “A Curse of Mayhem” is book two in the exciting and suspenseful “Magical Missions” series.

My thoughts on A Curse of Mayhem

Book two starts with character introductions…lots of characters. Once the story settles into a rhythm, it becomes easier to read.

I don’t believe you would need to read book one first, but it would definitely be helpful to have that basis for the battles with Master Beau.

Alyssa is dealing with self-confidence issues, so I’m sure many tweens can relate to her problems. The story is a wholesome, coming-of-age tale that should appeal to the middle-grade reader.

There are subtle hints to past relationships that could factor into future books in the series for the slightly older reader.

The author does seem quite tuned into the early teen mentality, making her series a fun, light-hearted read.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
