Synopsis (Goodreads):

Bound by magic, bound by love, bound by murder…

In a family with two witchy sisters, Karin’s lack of magic stings. But when she finds a body in flighty, big sister Jayce’s coffee shop, a dark enchantment begins to unravel. And Karin and her small town will never be the same.

As Karin works to untangle the murder, the knottier the mystery of her mountain home becomes. Why are hikers vanishing in the nearby woods? Why are some people cursed with bad luck and others with good? And what is Jayce’s handsome new lawyer hiding?

With her sister’s fate hanging by a thread, Karin must untangle the truth. And death stalks ever closer…

Thoughts on Bound: There's more to the town of Doyle than Karin and her sisters thought. And this is considering the triplets are witches and use magic regularly. Well, Jayce and Lenore use magic regularly. Karin isn't quite as blessed in the magic department. Except maybe she actually is.

Regardless, Doyle if filled with beautiful townsfolk and hikers go mysteriously missing every seven years.  Which Karin and the sisters don't realize until it's pointed out to them. With their aunt sick and Jayce as the #1 suspect in a murder investigation (seriously, Jayce has weird bad luck in that regard), the triplets have a lot on their hands. Then Karin's aunt drops a bombshell about a family curse on them and things get even more complicated.

Which means it's probably not the best time to get the flutters whenever Jayce's new lawyer shows up. But Karin does just that. As it turns out, Nick has his own connection to Doyle and they start unraveling what's going on a piece at a time. And kissing. Because of the flutters, you know.

A curse that stretches back through the years, jealousy, heartache, missing folk, mysterious woods, a man who wants answers, and a woman who is beginning to see what's around her. No like, I like these sisters, their abilities, and their strange town. *thumbs up*
