I just finished reading the last book in this series, Hessians and Hellhounds, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. There was a time after reading book two that I wasn't sure about it. I wasn't expecting the Thing-like hand to be added as a character and it threw me. I had a hard time taking that seriously, but maybe I wasn't supposed to take it so seriously. Anyway, I paused on reading the series after that and wasn't sure I would continue. Then, one of my Mystery Book Club friends wanted to read it, so I decided to continue on. And I'm so glad I did! Book three ended up being my favorite of the whole series. I think what really elevated book three was the marriage between Hannah and Wycliff. I enjoyed them so much as a couple in the rest of the series.

This was such a fun, whimsical series. I love everything about it from the book titles to the cover art, to the characters and story lines. And the hand ended up adding some humor to the story that I loved. It's a mashup of historical fantasy, paranormal, and cozy mystery, that also reminded me quite a lot at times of the Lady Darby Series. Although that series has no fantasy elements. Give this series a try if you like cozy mystery with paranormal elements.

There's a prequel series about Hannah's mother, Seraphina that I plan on reading too.
