Mineral spas are so calm and relaxing...unless they smell like a derrière at a bean-lover's convention, that is!

Dixon and Yuri have a hot tip that Uncle Fonzo is taking the waters at Spring Falls Hot Spring Spa. Not only is the spring stinky enough to make your eyes water—but the foul odor reaches peak level just as the resort is gearing up for a visit from an important critic that will make or break its reputation.

Normally, this wouldn't be Dixon’s problem...except that it appears that a piece of his uncle's Spellcraft might be responsible. He can't be entirely sure, though, since that particular slip of paper managed to go through the shredder.

Dixon and Yuri pitch in to help the spa's owner appease a jilted bride, an obnoxious businessman, and the world's most boring critic while they scramble to reconstruct the shredded Spellcraft. Can they fix the wonky spell before it does any permanent damage? Or will all their efforts at saving the spa end up swirling down the drain?

The ABCs of Spellcraft is a series filled with bad jokes and good magic, where MM Romance meets Paranormal Cozy. A perky hero, a brooding love interest, and delightfully twisty-turny stories that never end up quite where you'd expect. The books are best read in order, so be sure to start at the beginning with Quill Me Now.

Review by Gloria Lakritz

Yuri and Dixon are the ‘stars’ of this fun paranormal, mystical series which began this past February in a small anthology Jordan Castillo Price joined. It became Quill Me Now and her fans couldn’t be happier.

In this world there are Seers and Scrivners. Our Dixon went to take his quill test and failed as a Scrivner. It was quite unexpected. He now lives in the attic with his cousin in the house his Uncle Fonzo owned and works as a food delivery man……

Uncle Fonzo has disappeared so Dixon has gone to a Greeting Card Company looking for a better paying job. It is here he meets the ‘fixer’ for the greeting card company president. This would be Yuri.

Exact opposites, Dixon is a wide eyed optimist, believing in the good in everyone. Yuri from Russia has had a difficult life. Yuri is not used to being out; he is a big, tattooed, muscle man that trusts no one…

From their experiences in book one, their relationship has heated and we see Dixon mesmerizing this tough young man……this is listed as Book #3….. BUT if you are good at searching you can find ALL THAT GLITTERS B00k 1.5 also in the series. Here, is when Yuri meets Dixon’s Mom and Dad…Don’t miss it!!

We have left Taco Town hot on the heels of Uncle Fonzo who has been seen in Spring Falls , Hot Springs Falls last. He has left the Spa owner almost bankrupt. The Odor at the Springs is sulpher, so strong it permeates EVERYTHING…

This newest is the best set up for a slapstick, fun comedy. Having Dixon and Yuri trying to fix what Uncle Fonzo hath done. I had tears running down my face laughing so hard. With how difficult life is right now, thank you Jordan for allowing humor to help lighten our lives……
