How Spell’s Angels Began
Amanda M. Lee, a prolific author known for her addictive cozy mysteries and urban fantasies, launched Spell’s Angels in 2019 with Bad to the Crone. A longtime newspaper reporter and sci-fi enthusiast, Lee drew inspiration from her love of strong female leads and supernatural shenanigans. She crafted Scout Randall as a fierce, sarcastic heroine whose motorcycle-riding, magic-wielding vibe sets the series apart. Lee’s knack for blending humor with heart, honed in series like Wicked Witches of the Midwest, shines through, making Spell’s Angels a fresh addition to her expansive universe.
The Heart of Spell’s Angels
The series kicks off with Bad to the Crone, where Scout arrives in Hawthorne Hollow to join the local Spell’s Angels chapter. Tasked with solving a gruesome murder, she teams up with shifter Gunner, sparking a slow-burn romance amid necromantic chaos. No Crones About It dives deeper into Scout’s forgotten past, introducing vampire threats and more about her unique abilities. Cut to the Crone brings a crossover with Lee’s Covenant College characters, revealing Scout’s family ties while battling a powerful mage. By Chilled to the Crone, Scout’s growth as an apex pixie-witch fuels epic showdowns against gods and monsters.
Themes of identity, trust, and found family weave through the series, grounded by Hawthorne Hollow’s small-town charm and magical undercurrents. Lee’s signature snark infuses every page, with Scout’s witty banter and the Angels’ camaraderie stealing the show. The cozy mystery structure—complete with satisfying resolutions—pairs with urban fantasy’s high stakes, creating a unique vibe that’s both comforting and electrifying. Whether it’s ice zombies or movie monsters, each book delivers a fresh paranormal puzzle.

Crossovers with Lee’s other series, like Wicked Witches of the Midwest, delight longtime readers, expanding the universe’s lore. Despite some criticism for plot inconsistencies, the series’ loyal fanbase eagerly awaits each release, with 14 books planned by 2025.
