In Hummingbird Moonrise, Arista Kelly is recovering from emotional upheaval and just trying to stay afloat. But she’s drawn into a haunting new mystery when Iris, her Great-Aunt’s friend, vanishes. What begins as a search for a missing woman soon spirals into something much deeper and stranger, tying in elements and characters from previous novels in the series.
This third installment in the Murder, Tea, and Crystals Trilogy is once again set in the atmospheric backdrop of the redwoods, and it begins with a prologue that delivers a brilliant hook when we witness a violent interaction in the 1940s that sets the course for the novel. The narrative simmers rather than races, drawing readers into a layered family history with supernatural threads and emotional depth. There are many characters and several references to events that took place in the previous novels, which caused some confusion for me, but nevertheless, it’s a rich, thoughtful unraveling of secrets that will satisfy readers who enjoy introspective suspense. I recommend it for fans of atmospheric mysteries, generational drama, and quiet chills that linger.
Sublime Line: An enticing paranormal mystery steeped in family secrets, old curses, and a woman’s search for meaning after emotional trauma.
