My personal Rating-

It’s so hard to believe that we’re almost at the ending of this series! More of a laid-back mystery, Mandie does push some boundaries in it, but it does all work out. A fun read, but I was a bit disappointed by the lack of Spiritual Content.

See y’all on Monday with a new review!
