A big thank you to NetGalley and Crimson House Books for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. this is the third in a series. This is a little convoluted and a lot of characters to learn if you haven't read the others in the series. But it can be read as a stand alone. The characters are fun and Phoebe is still learning to be a witch. 3 stars

Third Spell's the Charm is the third book in the series which follows Phoebe and her friends on another magic filled adventure. Following the end of the previous book, Phoebe has now discovered her powers and is trying to learn how to perform some basic spells. However her luck is not so great and things go horribly wrong to the extent that a water spell gives out fire instead. This just adds to the hilarity of the situation making it light hearted and fun to read. With a focus on learning to be a spell caster at a much later age than most, Phoebe is having a difficult time keeping up.

As the story progresses, the focus shifts towards the vampires and Phoebe's attempt to help her friend and housemate Luca who is accused of killing someone. As Phoebe and her friends come together to solve the mystery, they end up in the most unexpected situations. The main recurring theme of the story is on the strength of the friendship the characters share and the faith they have in one another. There is also the element of mystery and anticipation of things to come that are hidden behind the comedy. Since this is a continuation of the series, it was a pleasure to read about the characters and how they grow through each of the books. Though the plot is a predictable in some places, the story overall is well written and makes for a good read!

This is a quick fun filled read which will have the reader in splits half the time even while there is a mystery to solve! This book and the series is definitely worth a try!

I think I'm just smitten with Susana Shore's writing. I'm still as in love with the third book as I was with the first. I love the character's and their growth. I love learning more about them as I read a new book and I love seeing how their relationships change. I can't wait to read the fourth one!

The third book in the House of Magic following Phoebe’s misadventures. I love these books, they are fast and fun reads. In the second book, Phoebe discovered she is a mage, in this book she tries to use her powers but manages to spend most of the book accidentally setting things on fire. I love the extremely slow burn romance with Kane although I would love some forward momentum in the next book.

Enjoyed reading this third book in the series. It is funny , magical and so cool. Would definitely recommend it to those readers who love reading fantasy.

Third book in the House of Magic series. I’ve loved the other two books and was very keen to read this one. It did not disappoint.

It’s a fast paced action packed story where Phoebe and her friends are trying to find out who is targeting one of the most powerful vampires in London. Either that person is very dumb or another powerful vampire.

Meanwhile Phoebe is learning magic, and though she does everything right, the words, the hand gestures, the end result is anything but. Which she finds very frustrating, but everyone around her finds curious at the most.

It’s moments like these though, that gave me the most trouble imagining Phoebe as someone much older than a schoolgirl. She even has a schoolgirl infatuation with her teacher/boss Archibald Kane.

Looking forward to the next in the series, where hopefully while Phoebe’s abilities grow, so does her confidence and maturity.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy for my honest review. This was another fun escape into the world of magic with the third installation of House of Magic. This is such a fun series, and I absolutely love Phoebe's character and her quirky group of friends. If you're looking for a cozy paranormal read and an absolute fun escape from reality, this series is for you!

4/5 stars

Third Spell's the Charm by Susanna Shore is the third book in the House of Magic series but can be read as a stand alone paranormal cozy mystery. I had not read the previous two books in this series but never felt lost as the author did a great job catching me up on the other books with some details as to what happened in those books. The characters that were introduced in the previous books were also reintroduced to a potential new reader. The characters are all well likeable and I found myself wanting to learn more about them all. This book has all that a Paranormal enthusiast desires: manges, vampires, warlocks and werewolves involving a mystery needing to be solved! Follow Phoebe, her roommates, a head vampire and Phoebe's boss while they work together (sometimes reluctantly) to solve the recent murder of a new acquaintance in a club. This book kept me interested in what was happening and what was to come! Now I want to go back and read the first two books and future books in this series! I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great Paranormal mystery!
Thank you Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion on the book.

This was such a good book, highly enjoyed it. Where else can you have mages, vampires, werewolves and even warlocks all in one place. I received this ARC for free, and leaving a fair and honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely loved this book, highly recommend it.

This is the third book in the House of Magic series, and this series is only getting better as we go. I thoroughly enjoyed this installment. I feel like Phoebe is getting used to her new world at this point and is settling in nicely. All of the past characters return and add nicely to their stories. I love they character dynamics, and I enjoyed getting to know Luca's world a little better in this book. This is a wonderful read if you want something quick, cute, and fun. I am enjoying the relationship developing between Phoebe and Kane. I wish it was progressing just a little bit quicker, but it does fit in nicely with the rest of the story. I am definitely attached to this series at this point, and am looking forward to more.

I wanted to enjoy this novel so much! I just, need to start with that.

Written by Susanna Shore, Third Spell's the Charm is the 3rd book in her House of Magic series, but hopping in on this novel isn't too painful - Phoebe and the clear love interest, and her teacher, Kane don't start out together, and this is a pretty classic 'cozy' style novel.

What I had issues with was how much Phoebe talked about being bad at magic and how everything kept coming back to that. She wasn't whiney, per-say, but she definitely had no confidence and no one else really cared about it nearly as much as she did.

And I wanted more romance in this!

If you are looking for a cozy story with very little romance and about a powerful witch trying to handle her powers while helping others, this could be a fun read for you.

This is an urban fantasy/paranormal mystery. Phoebe, new to the life as a mage, is having trouble mastering spell casting. But that takes a back seat to a murder investigation when her friend becomes a suspect in a murder. Phoebe isn’t going to let that stand so she and Luca set out to find the real culprit. But Phoebe, doesn’t exactly have any expertise as an investigator. She isn’t going to let that stop her.

It is a light read and a lot of fun. Phoebe doesn’t know exactly what she is doing so that leads to some funny situations. Plus, the fact she keeps on setting her hair on fire. Her group of friends, though, are an interesting bunch. They all lend a hand when things get a bit deadly.

Very enjoyable. I would read another in this series.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Third Spell’s the Charm is the third book in Susanna Shore’s House of Magic series of paranormal cozy mysteries set in London.

Our sweet and charming protagonist Phoebe Thorpe is finally coming to terms with the discovery of the supernatural London and its usual suspects- vampires, weres, witches and warlocks, and an occasional hellhound or two. This is a bit of a spoiler if you haven’t read the first two books yet, but she is also a mage herself, well, an untrained one, who needs to level up her non-existent spellcasting as soon as possible. As the title and the blurb suggest, Phoebe shouldn’t let her spectacular failures discourage her, it will all come to her eventually and our naive mage/amateur sleuth will save the day for her lovely landladies, her housemates Ashleigh and Luca, her gentlemanly boss/love interest Kane, and the whole law-abiding magic community.

I loved seeing the familiar faces and finding out how Phoebe’s relationships and friendships grow and deepen. The mystery itself is based on an old grudge -someone is targeting random victims who attend night clubs that belong to Morgan Hunt, the leader of London vampires. Our hapless apprentice mage/antique shop assistant Phoebe has to do a lot of good, old-fashioned digging in the past and just won’t let bygones stay bygones. As you can guess, this doesn’t go down well with elusive vampires and she manages to ruffle a few feathers (and not only of the boa kind). If you pay attention to details, it isn’t too difficult to guess the villain this time.

An easy, fun read, perfect for anyone who likes paranormal cozies with quirky, adorable characters and a lot of fast-paced action. Looking forward to the next story in this addictive series!

Third in the series is the best so far. Phoebe is starting to show some growth. She is finally getting comfortable with the magical world she is surrounded by. We are finally getting to know our secondary characters' personalities. The mystery is action packed with twists and turns and a multitude of suspects. Recommended for fans of the series and paranormal cozy mysteries.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

The House of Magic series is such a fun one. In this novel, the gang is back and Phoebe is learning how to harness her magic- and poorly. When she and vampire Luca find their new acquaintance, Miss Peaches, dead from a vampire bite, Phoebe is determined to find out who killed her. The chase is on for a revengeful vampire engaging everyone including Morgan Hunt, the most powerful vampire in the country.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Overall this was a fun, exciting book that gave me several hours of escapism and enjoyment. Id definitely read other books released by this author. Who needs sleep?

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, Crimson House Books and by #NetGalley. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Funny, entertaining, relatable and a quick read. The characters are unique and lovable.

These are wonderful, quick, paranormally quirky books that have me rapidly devouring them.

This book picks up with Phoebe (quick note - you should start at book 1 for real enjoyment). She's newly discovered that she has the magical gift inside of her. Unfortunately for her, it comes out as setting things on fire - not on purpose. As if this isn't bad enough, she's forced to demonstrate her weirdness for her flatmates, her boss/crush, and really powerful magical users. Nobody seems to know what's going on, but that also doesn't stop her from attracting her usual share of trouble.

This trouble comes in the form of a drag queen murder by a vampire while Phoebe and her vampire flatmate are out clubbing. Implicated/Blackmailed into helping the big vampire baddie, they end up crossing paths with a few familiar faces, some new ones, but tons of trouble. I enjoy the blend here of mystery, a smidge of romance, and a healthy scoop of magic. I can't wait to see what happens after the end of this one!

This story was super funny and entertaining, and I think a lot of people could relate to the main protagonist as she stamps to develop her own sense of self-security and confidence. Perfect for middle schoolers to early high schoolers, with some amazing themes and friendships too.
