This is such a lovely series!!!
6 Out of this world!
Oh, my witch. Just when I thought this series couldn’t possibly get any better, because it already deserved 10 stars, this installment topped that! Out of this world! I can’t even find the superlatives anymore to describe it. Enough said, I think. Only problem was: it ended! I was trying to read slowly so I wouldn’t get to the end so fast, but that proved to be impossible.
7 This book is magical in every sense of the word!
PI Penny is getting really comfortable with being a witch. When Penny and her friends find bones, they believe them to belong to a magical being, and therefore they don’t call the police. They investigate The Case of Mr. Bones and his Bling themselves. But of course there’s more. A real challenge for Penny: the five realms are out of balance. And it’s up to her to help restore the harmony between the realms.
There’s some very imaginative magic in this book, very Penny-like! SO FUNNY!!!
8 Penny grows so much!
This installment had a different tone. Where the previous books have all been lighthearted with a little depth added, this one was very deep with a little lightness added. Totally different and totally amazing!
And that ending! Wow. Wow wow wow. It moved me, it really did!
Yet another fantastic book!
9 Penny’s Tips for Getting your Suspect to Crack Open Like an Egg
Penny has become one of my favorite sleuths. And Turkey Werky one of my favorite cats / familiars!
This installment is lighter again, after all we went through with the Water Spell. But it does have depth! It’s a good mix between light-hearted, silly fun and serious issues, in this case change.
Loved this box set. Fantastic work. Love how Amorette Anderson brought all her characters together. I recommend this box set. Also, all audiences can read it.
Amorette’s books are perfect for the whole family and her writing is very well written and understandable. Her characters are whole and the plot is flowing. Her drawings are done by her and they are magnificent.

Title:
A pleasant way to spend a few days reading of what could be.
Box set number two Spells 6 through 9 of the only CozyMysteries with Witches, Vampires, Were-folk, knitting, and magical food prep.
Starting at book 0 on through book/Spell 9 provides pleasant days of relaxed reading for each of the Spells. All of these books could be considered a good outlook for how society should be run rather than how it is.
Also, almost as if we are part of the universe that she s created for the people of “ Hillcrest, Colorado, “ some of the events happening in the world today could ve stemmed from Hillcrest. So who knows -if we live our lives in harmony with this series- we may find more of the unexplainable { scientifically } happening. Personally, I think this might work with the world the way it is today compared to how it could be.
In any event you really should buy this box set, the last box set, and sign up for her newsletter to be able to download book/Spell 0 < The Love Spell > and have the full series on your e-Readers.
Live life,

This is a four book set of amazing paranormal mysteries from Amorette Anderson’s A Hillcrest Witch Mystery Series. Each book is a great mysteries and a new adventure for the developing witches. In every book a new spell is learned, a mystery is solved and the characters continue to grow and develop. Romance, humour, suspense, mystery and danger are hallmarks of each story. The writing is great, the narrative and the dialogue are excellent. While the series revolves on the coven, there are many other paranormals included making the series even more interesting. I highly recommend this book bundle to anyone who enjoys paranormal mysteries.
Love this series. Each book has a surprise inside , A clean witty read . Penny is a privite eye . With her friends in the knitting group they studying to become witches Eaxh has aquried a familiar and adds to the mix, Each books theme is one of the spells they have to master,Amorette manages to pull all these character’s into a delightful story with heart, Alice
What a great bargain! If you are on the fence, it’s a fantastic way to try this really great series! Penny is a PI, a witch and great at solving mysteries with the help of her cat familiar Turkey and her coven (knitting club friends). Each book in the series gets better and I can’t wait for the next one!
Penny, Cora, Annie, and Marley are all friends and learning magic together, with the help of their familiars. Each book has a different spell that needs to be conquered as well as a mystery that needs solved. You get sucked into the story right from the beginning. This series is ongoing and is very good, I always look forward to the next book.
This is a great series, I’ve got them all! Well-written books, with great characters and intriguing plotlines make for easy, enjoyable reads. If you like a witchy story, these are definitely worth reading!
I recommend and just love these quirky witch murder mysteries with a passion. There are cute drawings of witch Penny and her cohorts throughout the book that the author does herself. If you want to put a smile on your dial these are the books for you. But be sure to start with book one though as the Magic book has them starting on lessons in a specific order. Recommended for imaginative and fun people.
This series just gets better and better with each book. You get to grow with the group of women and se how they transform and become not only better people but see their true compassion and growth through some very funny adventures and fails and plain ol ditziness. Lol. I’m always looking forward to reading the next book and Amorette has a way with words that makes everything so relatable that sometimes she makes me wonder if she knows just how close to the clumsy girl that I was/am. It’s worth your time to read and I promise you won’t regret it.
Great series! It’s fun to see the witches learn how to be witches. They have lots of fun, make lots of mistakes and even manage to fit in some romance. It’s best to read these in order to see their progression. You won’t be disappointed.
These are wonderful stories about growth and mystery and with some love thrown in. Penny will keep you entertained with her antics along with her friends as they fall into cases that need to be solved. There is laughter and a little sorrow in them but mostly they are wonderful characters who grow together as Penny solves cases in her rather… strange way!! You will enjoy these stories so they are a must read series!!
I love this series so much!! The characters are wonderful (especially the familiars!) the mysteries are interesting, and I like the detail Amorette sets when describing the various scenes. This entire series is excellent!
I have read the entire collection of the Hillcrest Witch cozy mysteries. It is a fantastic collection. I highly recommend this series.
It is a pleasure to recommend this series because I have enjoyed every single story. It is one of my favorite series and I can’t wait for each book to come out. If you like charming warm hearted books about supportive, loving friends who live in a interesting world then you will LOVE this series.
This is Amorette’s 2nd book bundle but you must get the first bundle so you have the story of Penny and her friends and how a gift she received in the first book changed all their lives!!
Book 8 has the two most momentous happenings in her life yet! One she has dreamed of her whole life and the other one was something she never expected-and frankly never did I. It caught me completely off guard!!
Get hooked on this series by the very gifted Amorette Anderson! You won’t be sorry! I highly recommend this series to young and old alike!
The Case of the Voice Spell
Penny and the other witches are being harassed by gremlins. The gremlins try to come in the portal during the night so everyone is losing sleep meeting them. The gremlins want entry to look for the gold. The town of Hillcrest is hosting a speaker. He’s a famous bird watcher and will give a short talk and then lead a bird watch. As the town gathers and waits for the sighting of the plovers, the bird watcher is found dead. Will the coven be able to get rid of the gremlins, solve the murder, and master the voice spell?
The Case of the Earth Spell
Marley is ready to move her trailer to an area by the mine. As it’s leveled, bones are discovered. Penny and Marley determine that they’re probably magical due to the location and they need to solve the issue. Cora’s wedding is this weekend and all the festivities are beginning. Penny needs to balance her detecting with the wedding. The next chapter in their witch handbook is the Earth Spell. Penny will need to learn this to solve the earth murder. But can she do it without ruining Cora’s wedding?
The Case of the Water Spell
The coven all need to resolve their specific issues on the way to learning the water spell. Many surprises and lots of good reading. Penny has to resolve her father issues and does she want to be a vampire and live forever? Cora has surprise information regarding her pregnancy. Penny also has to solve the case of the missing teen.
I loved this book. Each one in the series is better than the one before. And Penny is growing up. I highly recommend reading these books in order.
The Case of the Air Spell
Once again, a great Penny Banks book. Penny is overwhelmed with the changes in her life – adjusting to being a vampire and a witch, being a consultant to the police department, getting to know her dad, and getting ready to move. The ladies of the coven decide addressing the air spell will help all of them adjust to the changes in their lives.
This is an enjoyable series. It does need to be read in order as the story builds from one book to the next!
In this box set, Amorette Anderson reveals the next 4 spells (Voice, Earth, Water and Air) but you don’t need to have read the first box set/individual books unless you want to because each of the series can be read as a stand alone.
As the girls of the Earth Coven become more comfortable with their expanding powers, they become more attuned to themselves. It might mean that some spells are solitary as others need the group just as their own intuition helps them mature. We especially see this through Penny, who now begins to trust herself and faces future and choices all of them must make…even Turkey.
This whole series is so much fun and Highly Recommended 5/5
