Myth and Magic by Mae Clair is a
novel with an interesting mystery. Veronica Kent is the manager of Stone Willow
Lodge. They run retreats for
executives. Lately people have been
hearing a lady crying, seeing strange apparitions, a dead dog (cut open) in a
suite, a leg in a fireplace, and much more.
What is going on? Reservations
are being canceled, so Breckwood Industries (who owns the lodge) decides to
bring in an investigator. They decide to
bring in their brother, Caithelden Lairen (he changed his last name). Caith left the area when he was eighteen and
has not returned. Caith is troubled by
events from his childhood. The Breckwood
boys (Merlin, Aren, Galen, and Caithelden) and Veronica grew up together along
with Derrick Trask. Derrick and Caith
were kidnapped one day and held for ransom (Caith’s father is very rich). Unfortunately, Derrick ended up getting
killed trying to save Caith. Caith has
not spoken with his father in twelve years because he did not keep his promise.
Before Caith left for college,
Veronica and Caith had a magical night by the lake. But several weeks later he wrote Veronica a
letter breaking her heart. Now the two
of them are going to be working together at the lodge to figure out who is
sabotaging it. Do Veronica and Caith
still have feelings for each other? Caith
brings his son, Derrick with him.
Derrick is thrilled be surrounded by his family and to finally meet his
grandfather. Can Caith overcome his past
so he can have a future? Who is
sabotaging the lodge and why?
Myth and Magic is a good mystery,
but it contains a lot of romance (and sex scenes). Myth and Magic is just not what I expected
from the original description. I thought
it was more of a paranormal mystery, and it turned out to be a mystery romance
book. I give Myth and Magic 3 out of 5
stars. The mystery was complex and
involved an unexpected character.
I received a complimentary copy
of Myth and Magic from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The review and opinions expressed are my own.
Thank you for visiting and reading my review. Have a glorious evening and Happy Reading!
