I was super happy when I stumbled upon a review copy of this next volume in the Hexologists series in my email. I instantly started to read it in my excitement!
Thanks to the author as well as Orbit for the review copy!
As the nation’s foremost investigators of the paranormal, Isolde and Warren Wilby are accustomed to bumping up against things that go bump in the night. They have made quite a name for themselves as the Hexologists: detectives of the uncanny, the monstrous, the strange. After a decade of wedded bliss and dozens of fantastical adventures, there is little in the world that can still surprise them.
But when a famous artist dies under suspicious circumstances, Isolde finds herself investigating a murder that may not have happened, and a crime scene that seems to shift beneath her feet. Not one to be easily thwarted, Isolde is compelled to take greater and greater risks in pursuit of her elusive answers. Meanwhile, the laws that govern magic appear to be breaking, and those cracks are spreading to the everyday world.
The mystery will carry the devoted duo to seedy underworlds, enchanted gardens, and subterranean military zoos. Old friends will come to the Wilbies’ aid as they infiltrate secret societies, battle vicious imps, and flee from a pack of venomous wolves. Equipped with Isolde’s hexes, Warren’s muscle, and an enchanted bag full of magical relics, the Hexologists will have to risk life and limb to unravel the riddle at the heart of A Tangle of Time.
This is the continuing story of Isolde and Warren Wilby, investigators of the paranormal, and adorable husband and wife team.
I absolutely love a book that has an established couple as its protagonists. Isolde and Warren are absolutely adorable together, and their endless support of each other makes them so easy to just latch onto and read about into the wee hours. There were several spots in the novel that highlighted Iz and War’s love for each other. It was heartwarming.
The mystery of this one stayed mysterious for me. I didn’t guess the ending or anything like that. The ending was an absolute roller coaster. The ‘Tangle of Time’ was a really interesting concept in the world of hexegy, I read the second half of the book in one sitting (something I haven’t done in too long a while) because I couldn’t put it down.
Suffice to say that I absolutely loved this volume of The Hexologists. I am quite excited to see what comes next for Isolde and Warren Wilby! 5/5 stars!~
