Felicity, or Flick as she prefers, just wants to be normal and live in her little flat in London. However, that’s hard to do when you’re part of an old, distinguished and very rich family of witches. Gram rules the roost at their country estate as well as the finances. They want Felicity to marry a snotty little warlock in order to have a child and carry on the family name. Flick has other ideas and decides to buck the system. Just as she’s figuring out how hard that really is, especially with no money, she receives a package relating to a job. This mystery job is to go back in time and solve a cold murder case. With absolutely no experience and no idea how to do this, she jumps right in. This is a really good book and I got some great laughs out of it. I love it and hope the others in this series are just as good!
Time Travel to 1999
I love this series. In this episode, we travel to 1999 London to solve a murder. This is a good mystery with lots of people with very good reasons to kill the vile victim. The magic is fun as are the main characters. This author always writes the best books! I purchased this book and it was money well spent!
“Flic” has decided to go on her own after being told she had to consent to an arranged marriage or else. Coming from a life of immense wealth and privilege has left her very unprepared for a life of taking care of herself and her financial needs. She gets her first job and the time travel adventure begins! A great story that keeps you riveted to your spot! I can’t wait for the next adventure!
Good paranormal mystery read
🙂
Felicity is becoming an adult!!!! She is embracing her powers and learning how to take control of her life. While Grandmother thinks it is time for Felicity to marry, Felicity totally disagrees. She is not ready to marry, especially to Merlyn whom she dislikes. So what does she do, well she applies for a job at the Agency of Paranormal Peculiarities. With only seven days to solve an old crime, Felicity teems up with the ghost of Newgate who haunts the Old Bailey to try to work out the details of the crime. Time travel is not fun when you are trying to solve a crime. The characters were well described and very believable. The time period was well researched and felt realistic. The plot was fun and the twists in the story were well planned and kept the story interesting. Really enjoyed this book. The series is great fun and it is on to read the next book in the series.
This is the second book of the A Witch In Time Series. This series is being written by several authors, each of whom has a main character and a mystery to solve. In the previous book we met Vee and time traveled to New York. In this book we meet Felicity, (Flick), and go to 1999 London. This series is fast becoming a must read more series. I love that each character goes on her own adventure, (though the other characters may make appearances), and solves their own mystery. So far, you don’t need to read the books in order of publication. I would encourage you to, though, just for the fun of it and, of course, to meet each witch. In the weeks before the first book was released I found myself wondering who will be my favorite witch. I think it is going to be more difficult than I thought to choose her.
I love that Flick is in a beginning of the craft, (by this I mean she is becoming an independent witch). She comes from a prestigious line of witches, yet seems to truly want to find her own way. Her Gram places emphasis on high standards and the family. She has made sacrifices for them and expects Flick to do the same. Yet she loves Flick deeply. Flick is aware of all this but isn’t certain making the sacrifices her mother and grandmother made are for her. This complexity makes for an interesting secondary story. I found the mystery that Flick needs to solve intriguing and fascinating, (perhaps because Johnny and Candice had me remembering Sid and Nancy – their story was another one that was heartbreaking for me). Another thing I loved about the story was the way Flick tried to use her power to do good. It’s not often that I feel like crying in a mystery but I did with Bill and his wife.
I cannot wait to read the next book in this bewitching series. I find myself wondering about the next witch, her personality and mystery, at odd moments of the day. I am also anxious for more from both Vee and Flick.
I really enjoyed A Devil of a Time. It is an awesome book. It is well written. The plot of a witch traveling back in time to solve a cold murder case is such a unique and interesting idea. Flick is a great character. I like her strength and determination in solving the case and the choices she makes in her family and life. There are several plot twists that will keep you guessing until the end. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
I love Mona Marple’s books. This was quite different from her other works but once I got into wanting to solve the mystery I was hooked. A young witch who comes from money has issues with her family and get cut out of the family has to find a job. She has to solve a crime and get sent in the past for a short time and gets help from a ghost wolf. I loved the memories, the technology of time. I hope you keep writing about Flick.
Flick’s first ever cold case – what a fun book!
Flick dreams of escaping all things mystical. But Gram has other plans. Felicity (Gram doesn’t like the name Flick) is to marry an important warlock and think of continuing the lineage. Yes, that means a daughter must be conceived. To avoid that scenario, and be independent, she needs a job. But that proves to be difficult, seeing as she’s got zero work experience. Then an opportunity presents itself. The Agency of Paranormal Peculiarities. And they’re sending her back to 1999 to solve a cold case. I must say, she didn’t get a whole lotta information before she’s sent back in time!
A light-hearted, fun read. I loved everything about it! I was very excited about reading this book and it didn’t disappoint. In fact, it exceeded my expectations! A cozy time travel mystery that was super enjoyable. Flick is not very worldly-wise to say the least, which makes for fun moments. LOL. Which doesn’t mean lots of love 😉
A Devil of a Time is Book 2 in the Witch in Time Series. The concept for this series is fantastic: Witches who travel back in time to solve cold cases for The Agency of Paranormal Peculiarities.
We meet Flick and she is having a “devil of a time”. Flick has powers but does not want to use them. If she doesn’t use them she’ll be cut off from her family. She decides to take a job with the Agency and she is sent back to 1999 to solve a cold case and she only has 7 days to do it!
I love this book, and the concept is so original intertwining time travel and witches with a mystery. The writing is so well done , and I really enjoyed the plot twists. Flick is as complex a character as they come, not only dealing with decisions with her family, and her craft but also solving a cold case mystery.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book. This is a stand alone book, but part of a series of 5 books written by 5 different authors and I look forward to reading each one.
