Synopsis (Goodreads):

Jayce Bonheim is on the sheriff’s radar, and not in a good way.

The most reckless of her triplet sisters, Jayce is determined to turn over a new leaf. No more wild partying. No more love-em-and-leave-em relationships. Not when the man she’s loved since forever is finally a part of her life.

But when someone leaves a dead body in her pickup, her resolve to become the sensible sister is tested.

Caught in a web of love, murder, and magic, can Jayce clear her name and discover who is behind the curse that holds her family and town in its thrall?

Thoughts on Ground: Oh my goodness, Jayce has a lot she's dealing with. After being accused of murder previously (but beating the rap OBVIOUSLY since she didn't do it), she now has another dead body popping up around her. And given everything that went down before, the sheriff is all too happy to have Jayce in her crosshairs. I might be exaggerating a little about that, but Jayce does have to answer questions AGAIN about a body and that's no fun.

To complicate things even further, she and Brayden (the widower of the body found previously) are exploring a potential relationship since his wife is, you know, not around. While they really were only friends while he was married, people are still giving them the stink eye because this thing happened pretty quickly. To be fair, Brayden has been on Jayce's radar forever, but she steered clear since he WAS married.

No lie, these Bonheim triplets lead complicated lives.

With the sheriff sniffing around her, Jayce realizes she needs to do some digging to figure out who really did the deed before she gets arrested for real. So she digs. She asks questions. And while all this is going on, the sisters are still trying to figure out how to break the family curse. That's a pretty big deal since none of them want to die tragically in the near future.

A stolen truck, a dead body, sisterly bonds, magic that is going a little haywire, a man who is willing to risk everything for his witchy love, and a lady who is working hard to live life to the fullest and keep her family safe. Also, WHOA THAT THING THAT HAPPENED AT THE END. Yikes!
