Bay Winchester is having a tough week.
As the local editor of Hemlock Cove’s only newspaper, she just happens to be present when a body is found in an area corn maze. To make matters worse, the police believe the murder may have something to do with the occult.
This wouldn’t be a problem for a normal reporter, but since Bay is descended from a well-known line of actual witches, the town is … town is understandably on edge.
Between the suspicious townspeople, the befuddled police presence and that random hot biker guy that may or may not have something to do with the murder — Bay has her hands full.
When you add the typical family problems, multiplying ghosts — and one monster of a zit that she’s sure came from her aunt’s curse — Bay is just struggling to make it through the week.
Of course, when the killer sets his sights on Bay, things could get a whole lot worse.
Note: These books are full of sarcasm and are a little bit snarky — so read only if you like to laugh and you aren’t easily offended. This is the first book in the Wicked Witches of the Midwest mystery series.

I LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERY BOOK IN THIS SERIES AND EVERY BOOK BY AMANDA M LEE. I HAVE READ THEM ALL!
Love this series!! I got my best friend hooked and she’s almost done with it now! I rest this entire series including the shorts and fantasies in 3 weeks! I could not put them down. Patiently waiting for the next book :).
All of the characters are incredibly childish. Twenty-somethings, forty-somethings, and an eighty-something all acting petty and childish. They talk about loyalty yet constantly throw each other under the bus to save themselves from mainly each other. Very dysfunctional and toxic family and people.
I stumbled upon this book right when I decided I needed a break from contemporary romance and was becoming a bit irate at authors for pushing upcoming Christmas stories in early August. I guess Halloween and Hanukkah will never will never get the love it deserves in the romance genre.
Anyway – this book blew me AWAY. The Winchester women were at …
This book was recommend by an author I adore, so I had to check it out and she was right. It is a wonderful book
There is a lot going on in the world right. It is scary and this book took my mind off what happening and gave me a few hours of enjoyment with a a wacky witch’s family with great characters and a lot of lovable fighting, an …
Hemlock Cove is a beautiful small Michigan town that, with the demise of the local manufacturing trade, has remade itself as a little Salem dealing in the occult, herbal remedies, unicorns, palm readings, etc. Bay Winchester and her two cousins, Clove and Thistle, as well as their mothers and grandmothers are witches. The elder Winchesters run a …
OMG, Cozy Mystery bliss! Nobody crafts hilariously life-like characters as well as Amanda M. Lee. I’m definitely addicted to this series already and often stay up past my bedtime reading more, more, more.
A quick word of warning: Unlike most Cozies, this does contain some mild language and references to sex. If these are things you’d rather do …
I’m not usually big on cozy mysteries, and I’m not to crazy about most witch stories either, but I enjoyed this one and got the next one, too. Some don’t like the friction between all the main characters but I found it funny. Hey, I grew up with three older brothers and I actually laughed when one would get mad and tell another, “You’re dead to …
So funny!
I love all her books! 🙂
Enjoyed the character’s they were perfect. Loved the situations that happened
At first I found the adult characters to be a bit juvenile and immature, but then I started warming to them, and I found myself loving the 3 cousins who were being tormented by their great aunt’s threats and antics. This is “Practical Magic” as a comedy, and it made me chuckle. It’s predictable but charming at the same time.
Funny moving story line . More books on same line each complete.
Amanda Lee is a great writer. Her storyline is laugh out loud funny.
Aunt Tillie is funny and crazy
I love this whole series!!!! Miss Lee’s writing style is an absolute joy, and I hope this series continues on for a great while!
