Legally Hexed by Kelly GarciaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
📖Book Info
Forty-year-old Bella Hexley thought she left magic behind for good. She built a perfectly ordinary life—law school, marriage, motherhood. Then her husband blindsided her with divorce, taking their house, their savings, and every illusion of stability she had. The only thing she kept? Custody of her daughter—if she can prove she can support her.
With bills piling up and no job offers, Bella does the unthinkable: she returns to the Enchanted District of Chicago. Broke and desperate, she borrows money from a half-demon loan shark and opens a magical law firm. But when the clients don’t come and the money runs out, she owes Paul a favor she can’t refuse—suing a man for wrongful death.
There’s just one problem: Bella can’t stop thinking about the defendant.
Now she’s juggling shady clients, a missing diary, and magic that tends to set things on fire—all while raising her daughter and trying not to fall for the one man she’s supposed to destroy.
💭Our Thoughts
“What do we do if anyone tells us we can’t wear glitter and be in charge?”
“We sparkle harder.”
Our determinedly sparkly duo, Bella and her bestie sidekick Gianna, aren't rolling in the big bucks yet.
Actually, no bucks at the moment, but Bella is sure things will turn around.
When Paul, the dastardly, dangerous demon, calls her loan past due and invokes Clause 42
Gianna finds herself in quite a predicament, one that will test her morals, her resolve, and her lip gloss.
“Then ask yourself this- who lingers when there’s nothing left to save?”
This has so many twists and breadcrumb trails to lead you astray.
And the little surprises? You will not see them coming.
The romance portion takes a backseat to the mystery. However, she and Jack definitely heat up the pages.
Our little family might not check any traditional boxes, but it worked.
Phenomenal supporting cast. Each bringing a little something extra to the story
A storyline that engages the reader, making you feel a part of the investigation and the family.
Lots of humorous moments, as well as some that had me a touch stressed.
Was she going to figure it out? How would she get out of the new mess? Could she protect her new family?
“They’re marginally less feral when entertained.”
Reginald, our resident ghost, brought so much to the story - don't let him fool you, he adores those girls.
Speaking of, Mia and Sydney are going to bring so much comic chaos to this series.
Carl is a piece of work, turns out, though his sudden rise to fame and darker intentions may not have been just his keen lawyer senses.
Highly recommend for those who enjoy their cozy with a touch of the paranormal and a whole lot of sparkling humour
