It won’t be easy, though.
After a wild fight that saw shifters and vampires joining together to battle under an eclipse, things in Hawthorne Hollow are relatively quiet. Scout’s newly-found sister is locked in a cell, her grandfather is laying low, and the enemy appears to be regrouping.
That allows Scout and her boyfriend Gunner to make a trip to her childhood home. Upon their return, a shifter attacks and throws their world into a tailspin. He’s easily dispatched but appears to be suffering from a magical infection that has his body wasting and his mind collapsing.
It’s up to Spell’s Angels to figure out what’s going on, and because nothing is ever easy for Scout, the investigation is going to be harder than she imagined.
It seems there’s a new top vampire in town, and his powers are extensive for a creature who wasn’t born into his legacy. On top of that, he’s crossed paths with Scout before and knows exactly how to push her buttons.
Scout is a fighter but the world is closing in on her. She’s going to need her new co-workers and the family she doesn’t know to help her out on this one … and even then nothing is a given.
The road before her is winding but answers are finally here. Scout will finally know what she is. Whether she survives long enough to benefit from the knowledge is completely up in the air.

Scout and Gunner are getting answers
Another great story and characters from Amanda M Lee. This book has everything I expect - adventure, mystery, family, friends, and romance. Scout is getting answers about her past and her powers, and even to questions she didn’t know she had! She has the family she’s made and those around her are there to help her along her journey. There is more adventure to come and answers to find - looking forward to the next chapter!
Love This Series !
Scout is finally looking into her family to find out what she truly is. She finds out more at the old farm. Her sister is still a pain. there is alot in this book . Scout and Gunner have there cute bickering . His dad has claimed Merlin his first grandson . There is the deaths to solve also. This is one of great ones of the series, and I can't wait til the next one .
Excellent addition to this series
Scout is getting her answers to who she is and finding out what happened to Evan. I so enjoy Graham and snarky come backs. He is turning into a fun guy That likes to torture mostly Gunner and now Scout. I can't wait until the next book, curious to see where they land next.
Please remember faster!
Scout has her hands full. The vampires and shifters want to get rid of her. She’s not going anywhere. She has a lot to remember and only a short time to get it. The fact that her partner has returned is show stopper but she will get where and who she needs to be, we all hope.
The best
Love this series, cannot wait til the spells angels meet the Winchesters. It would be great if all the main characters in the books fought one big war together. All the snark an romances would be fun. This series is great with the snark mouthy people.
Still has that interesting vibe!
Ms. Lee has yet again followed the path of the series, and this time has definitely incorporated more of Spells Angels into the story. This one doesn’t have as many laughs but the trade off was more answers. Most assuredly worth the read!
Can’t wait !
I can’t wait for the next in the series ! I listen to and read all of Amanda M Lee’s books and love each of the characters! I love how I. This story there is redemption, I think we can all use some thank you
Memories found
Awesome read, Scout has to find her memories of she wants to save her crew nd the pics from a super powerful vampire and the twists and turns are entertaining loved it,great read
Great story
Scout is really coming into her own and owning her heritage as she learns more about it . and her powers. Evans is not as much or as powerful as he thought he was compared to Scout.
End of a chapter
Slow to start,too much unnecessary side stories - but once back onto the main characters its was incredible. . Another piece of a rather strange and wonderful puzzle.

Twists Galore
Scout finding answers about her family, Gunner and Graham's snarky conversations, and everything in between makes this a fun read. No spoilers here. Very entertaining!
Family matters
Scout is looking for answers about her family, and her Spells Angels family is willing to help her. Good plot with fun twists and good character development.
One of my favorite
This book series is fast becoming one of my favorites. I love the strong lead character. Scout has to face her past and must figure out what she is in order to save the day.
Another fascinating episode
Has Scout 's past finally been revealed? Looks like more is yet to come. I sure hope so. Love the characters and the story in the whole series of books.
Great author
I would buy (and have) anything written by Amanda Lee. Her plotlines are original and her writing is smart and funny. She's a must-have in my "book"!
Great
This is a great way to spend a day. I am so glad that you write such wonderful stuff. I am so glad that we got to learn more about Scout. Thank you for sharing.
Another great book!
You can’t miss with any of her books. Stories with twists you can never see coming. I can’t wait for the next book of any of her series!!!
Finally, answers
Okay, some answers. And now, of course, more questions, but what a fun and interesting trip through the creative brain of Amanda m Lee!
Scout just keeps getting better at her magic
This book keep me wanting more! I can't wait until the next one! Thank you Amanda M. Lee for another great read! I want more!
Best Amanda M Lee Book Yet
Stop reading this and buy the book now. The answers are coming and you will cry when Scout gets some of them.
Awesome series
I look forward to when the next book in the series comes out.
Never a dull moment
Scout and her adventures continue to reach new heights of romance and adventure. I love her mouthy attitude and budding relationship among all the mayhem of her life. Can’t wait for the next book!
Awesome read!
Loved the ending. Can't wait to see what's in store for Scout and the rest of the gang. Thank you Amanda for another awesome read!
Whining and Bickering
The plot for each story is always so good...so 5 Stars. But minus 3 Stars because most conversations contain whining, bickering, and/or immaturity. Often all three. It’s the same complaint with every series...I love the world these characters inhabit, but the main characters are just awful. There’s no personality growth, just power and skill growth.
Entertaining supernatural urban fantasy cozy mystery series
This is an entertaining urban fantasy supernatural cozy mystery series. A great cast of characters and a fun and entertaining storyline. The story is based in this authors magical world of multiple different book series. Our main character scout used to work in Detroit until her partner was killed during an investigation of a vampire nest. After it happened she tried to keep working but eventually decided she needs to change. She transferred to a smaller unit in a small town in northern Michigan. Their job is hunting down supernatural creatures that are out for evil and up to no good. Follow along in the adventures of saving the world or saving the town and hunting down supernatural evil doers. On occasion the different series have crossovers and meet characters from some of the authors other books in this world. On occasion they will go to the towns of some of these other books and interact with some of the side characters as well. Very entertaining and you will not be disappointed. A bit of Snark and humor is good for the soul. Check it out
Scout and Gunner are So Much Fun!
Scout is an interestingly strong heroine. Very competent and powerful ,with that tragic, murky past that makes her multi-dimensional. Gunner has just enough strength, ego and painful memories to match well with her. Of course, they’re both good people, because, eww, who wants a lead who isn’t? I don’t want to tell the story, but expect wolves in danger (with a rather unaware, blustering leader), the usual spats between Gunner and his father (and you won’t believe what Gunner’s Dad is advocating for), some serious sibling rivalry, and, not sure if I have this right, more info on the star children. I see some possible meetups with people from the Mystic Caravan series, or maybe someone like Aisling, or the gatekeepers. Oh, so many possibilities. Yep, this was a fascinating one, as usual. And now I’ll just have to skip through her many series looking for the newest book, and piecing together possible interactions.
Children of the stars
Talk about a regret & a blast from the past colliding into on huge ball of disaster now mix that with a family that abandoned you as a child showing up. Scout has been searching for answers her entire life. She has found her sister & grandfather but still has difficulty excepting her past along with all her memories. Then, he showed up, she thought he was dead, she has been carrying that guilt for years but now it's time to accept the past & eliminate a danger for the future. I could not put it down, I've been so curious as to what Scout is but I would've never guessed. Waiting anxiously for the next Crone story.
Scout deals with her baggage
I have enjoyed all of the series’ written by Amanda M Lee that I have read. She writes funny, strong female characters. In this series Scout is dealing with a lot of baggage and this book address it all. I enjoy the characters but I think the author needs to keep better notes about the characters. There have been a few mistakes in this book and the previous one that are irritating. I imagine having so many people living in your head can get confusing. All in all great series.
Still love Scout, but this was a miss for me.
While I continue to love these characters, I am really turned off by how hard the last book thin this series and a few of the others are pushing crossovers. I haven’t read the covenant college ones or followed those characters because they don’t Interest me, but I felt like I was missing out on a huge chunk of this book, as well as several others recently in different series because I don’t read those. I will continue to read her books and just hope we can get back to our regularly scheduled characters soon.
A Lot to Unpack
I don't know about this book and the series. I suppose that we could only go along for so long with the "poor me ... I don't know my past" storyline, but there was really a whole lot of info thrown together into the book. I haven't really formed any real fondness for any of these characters. So, for me, the stories are okay, but not particularly enthralling. I've started wondering about the whole motorcycle gang thing. Why?
Great story
I am glad that Scout is finally getting her memory back. In the 1st book I believe I read that the Detroit office had them draw straws to see who was going to Hawthorn Hollow and Scout lost, didn’t want to go, but in this book it stated she wanted to move. I hope I’m mistaken otherwise someone has to do better at proof reading or plot outlines. I enjoyed the story anyway and look forward to the next installment.
disappointing
The only reason to read this book is because maybe the next one will be better. The enemy is who I expected it to be; how the book ended leads me to think the next book will have him not an enemy. The last two books contained contradictions: Whether Scout could identify born vs bitten vampires, and whether she volunteered to be transferred or lost drawing straws.
I Don't Wanna Wait
Picking up shortly after the Winters' family left, Scout and the Spell's Angels crew are once again neck deep in a paranormal situation, and Scout's distant and not-so-distant past are definitely at the center of it all. This was a thrilling addition to the series, and we learn a bit more about Scout's past. I absolutely cannot wait until the next book.
Another great book
This series just keeps improving! I really enjoy the intricacies of the ongoing story while being satisfied with the conclusion of each book’s specific issue. I liked the increased interaction of Graham and his teasing. Multiple hints of where the story could go and possible future crossovers. Looking forward to it.
Evan
He's back. Scout thought he died in Detroit, but he was turned instead. Because of his witch blood he turns into an uber-vampire. Then she, Gunner and Graham have to start working with the local shifters. The author is explaining the shifter rules , and we learn more about Scout and her past.
Love your books!!!!!
With the new book coming out I have gone back and reread the series to refresh my memory and they were as great as the first time! And I just figured out that Stout and Poet meet in a home together, will we possibly see a reunion in a crossover? I extremely hope so. Thanks for all your books and series keep them coming and look forward to more crossovers between series.
Just keeps getting better.
I have never read a book by this author that was not fantastic. This series is no exception. each book in the series answers some questions but you are hooked and want to know where the future will take these wonderful characters. My advice to any reader of paranormal, these books are a must read.
Scout!
In this book Scout finally gets answers to her past and what it means for her. There are hints at what will be coming in the future and I can't wait. Love the snark and also the closeness of the Spells Angels group. Had a hard time putting this book down until I finished it.
I really enjoy this series.
I really enjoy reading this series and I hope this one continues for a good while. This time around Scout and Gunner are facing a tough time, but Scout may finally get some answers about her past along with old friends showing back up in her life. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
A Child of the Stars
Scout is back and she's got loads of trouble to deal with. Shifters, vampires, relatives, and old friends are here to cause mayhem. Scout will need all the help she can get from the Spell's Angels and more help from some unlikely sources. Buckle up and get ready for an adventure you won't soon forget.
Get ready for a surprise
I won't ruin it but there is plenty of action and romance with humor. Chosen and unchosen family members make life messy, and they also make life worth living. This book was fantastic. Worth the wait. Excited to see how the revealed info plays out across the other series.
Loved
For personal reasons I haven’t been able to enjoy reading lately, I just couldn’t focus or seem to enjoy anything. But this book changed that, I read it in just a few hours, losing myself in the amazing story. You can’t help, but love the characters and be engaged
Good story
I like that we get some answers to the questions that Scout has has for many years. The twist at the end is interesting. I can’t wait to see what Amanda does with it. It’s a good book. If you are a fan of the series than you will love the book.
Great series
I am enjoying this series! We finally find out what Scout is and a few other surprises. Like her other series however, the author has the lead couple hash out their relationship a bit too much for me. Other than that, great continuing story.
Another great adventure with Scout
Spoilers!!! . . . Scout Finally finds out where she's from, what she actually IS, and starts to remember her past. Her old partner she THOUGHT was dead is now... Undead... a powerful vamp that she has to take out!
A big question answered!
I have been enjoying this series a lot. You can really sense that Scout fits into Amanda M. Lee's universe, but she might not even know it yet. I am very eager to see her interact with some other series! A big mystery about Scout's origins is solved, and her path is getting clearer. The normal snark and sharp dialogue that is Lee's hallmark is as good as ever!
Over already?
I cannot believe I read this book so fast! I LOVE this series and am excited for Scout to continue to learn who she is. Gunner understands that she needs to work through things on her own and doesn't smother her like he wants to.
Romancing the crone delivers
This book in the series was more indepth and delivered what Scout needed to become more confident and trusted by others including the shifters. I hope the next book brings all the others before into line and makes it all bloom with power.
Answers
Yay some answers revealed. Still some questions but we know more now. Great story and some really good scenes. Can't wait for the crossover. Some non graphic violence, sexual talk. A couple curse words.
A+
Another great book from Amanda M. Lee. Scout is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. This book has a lot of discovery for Scout's character and the dialog is laugh out loud funny at parts. I can't wait for the next in the series.
Love!
I just love scout! She is so feisty and fantastic and strong. This was a wonderful instalment with a solid story line and good character building. I can't wait to see what happens in the future with Evan!
Loving paranormal
Another great book from AML. I loved the story line. It held my attention the whole time. I cannot wait to read Amanda’s books and then I’m sad that I have to wait for the next ones. Keep writing please.
Good series!
Scout and crew are back to battle monsters and try to find out about her past. The plot and subplots move quickly. The plot twists make it hard to put the book down. I can't wait for the next book!
Always good!!!
This is a really good series. I like all the characters and every story is a good one. I am glad to finally start to learn more about Scout. I'm looking forward to the next book already!!!
Pixie dust to the rescue
I really enjoyed this book. It had a couple fun twists and a good story line. I’m looking forward to seeing where the new twists lead. I hope the next book comes out quicker than this one.
Great Read
This series is really getting good. I’m enjoying the unveiling of the main character’s past. This book kept getting more and more interesting. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I read every word
Another great story by Amanda M. Lee. No skipping to look for dialogue, like I have to do with other authors, every word is pertinent to the story and I don’t get bored reading them.
It All Comes Together
Scout get answers to many of the questions she has. Spell's Angels also fights vampire and infected werewolves. Fun story that still lraves a few questions for the next book.
She’s outdone herself!!
Bravo, Amanda M. Lee! This book was gold from the first word to the final period! Can’t wait to see where Scout goes from here! And Graham and his “grandson” kitty CRACKED me up!! 😂
Interesting
I'm interested to see where the story goes from here. Interesting characters, good humor, loved the teasing about Merlin the grand cat. Good read. Borrowed with kindle unlimited.
Loved Scout and Gunner
This book tells us a little more about Scout's background. We find out a little bit more about what she is. We get a hint of crossover. Can't wait to read that book.
Another fantastic book
Amanda M Lee has. Continued to write another amazing book. I can not wait for the next installment as Scout/ learns even more about herself and her family. I couldn't put this book down.

Ahhh!
Omgosh I can't believe the twists and turns in this! Seriously the best in the series so far. I can't wait to see what happens in the next one!!!
Great
This is one of my favorite series with Ms. Lee. How she can write brilliance and keep everything straight just proves she’s my favorite witch.
She's done it again
Incredible read! I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what happens next with all these people from the past, and the present.
Loved it!
Really good, start to finish. I will be looking forward to more Scout and Gunner adventures. Just don't let Gunner get totally mushy. Let him be the lead every once in a while
Such a great story!
This was an awesome sequel with fast paced action! Great characters and surprises at every turn! Can't wait to read the next one!
Loved it!!
I thoroughly loved this story about lost families, love and magic, vampires, werewolves and witches! Hopefully the next book will be out soon!!
Edge of your seat good
I laughed, cried, and was completely immersed into this wonderful tale she has once again spun. Filled with adventure and mystery
Finally
Well we finally know what Scout is. Who would have thought? So cool. I love this series and can't wait for another installment!
Romancing the Crone
Scout has her hands full. She's dealing with her sister, shifters, and Evan! When all is said and done, will she still be standing?
Best Spell's Angels So Far
Amanda M Lee delivers again with sass, snark, and intrigue. Scout's present and past collide making her question everything she knows and shows that chosen family is as strong, if not stronger, than biological family. If you haven't read this series, start at the beginning in order to get an understanding of the players.
Magical read!
I highly recommend all of Lee's books and series. They are always intriguing, fun, and the characters are endearing. Enjoy!
Answers revealed
More background is being discovered by Scout. The teasing from Graham, and he with Merlin, towards the couple was hilarious.

Big things are coming and I can’t wait. Scout learns more about her past. Can’t wait for the next one.

5Star Kindle Unlimited Read
Congratulations to me as the reader. I do think having Zoe, Aric, and Sami in the previous installment boosted author Amanda M. Lee's humor, snark, and cheeky sarcasm. However, she did provide more of that tongue and cheek sass this go around. We finally know Scouts real name and what she is. We just still don't know what the major p!at is. Unfortunately, I have to wait until book 6 releases to get anymore I formation.
I am still in love with this series
I find it difficult to leave reviews because for me if I don't get interested in a story a few chapters in then I don't read anymore of it. I'm not even going to bother saying I didn't like it. So I can honestly say I truly absolutely love all of Amanda's books or I wouldn't be reading them. Do yourself a favor & pick up one of hers, you won't be disappointed.
Loved It
I absolutely love Amanda's books. She is an amazing story teller and can weave a story that draws you from the start. This book was such a turning point for Scout and I can't wait to see how her story progresses.
A Spells Angels Mystery #5
I love the storyline, the characters and pretty much everything about this series. Definitely worth reading and getting to know the characters.
