Badlands

by Morgan Brice

Review

Mix together a steamy romance, a cozy beachside town, a juicy murder mystery and a touch of the paranormal, and you’ve got the perfect escape read. From the very first chapter, I was hooked on the drama unfolding in this seaside setting. The murder mystery kept me guessing, but what really added depth was the supernatural twist—it gave the story an extra layer of intrigue that made it stand out. The characters were full of sass, charm, and secrets, and I loved watching them navigate both the strange and the steamy.

And let’s talk about the spice—because it was so good. It didn’t overpower the storyline but instead played a flirty, tension-filled supporting role that made the chemistry between characters electric. I love when a book can hold its own with the plot and still turn up the heat—and this one delivered on both fronts. I’m already itching to jump into the next in the series to see what other magical, mysterious chaos is waiting!
