Michelle has been figuring out what her life is like now that the demon has been killed, and Sylvia and Varro are dead. Even the clans of witches trying to attract her to their way of life have backed off and given her a chance to grieve. Her relationship with Elron is stronger than ever, but there are things left unsaid. On the way to her parents’ wedding, the delicate calm she’d been living in … living in is broken. Witches are out for her blood, her family is caught in the crossfire, and friendships are threatened. Work doesn’t let up either, and she partners up with Elron to deal with magic gone wild. Michelle finds that her problems are larger than one clan of witches, and is forced to choose between the people she holds dear and the way of life she loves.
This is the fourth book in a series, following A Witch’s Trial. It is a standalone novel, however, your reading experience will be greatly enhanced if you’ve read the previous books.

Know any witches who would be willing to join the police force to keep back the evil and vile supernatural creatures from the light of day? What about any vampires, werewolves, unicorns, or trolls? This supernaturally charged fourth installment is highly entertaining, mysterious, and growing in paranormal suspense! Conneely has written a series, filled with humans and magical creatures who can both live simultaneously in the same place and still know who each other really is. That is very original and unlike the typical “keep it a secret from humankind”. In this fourth installment, the reader learns more about the history of clans and Michelle’s birthright in a long line of ministry bloodlines.
Michelle gets a flat tire and pulls off of the road to assess the damage. When she sees the complex nature of the flat, she knows that something is not right. Once another car pulls over to aide her, she not only doesn’t want their assistance, but she also suspects foul play. She was right. Previous claims against Michelle being clan-less has risen to a top priority for some people…including her grandmother, a clan minister of the Wapiti Clan. With Michelle’s power, any clan would be crazy not to want her on their side. Once desperation kicks in, things start to look ugly and danger begins to follow Michelle along with her family and friends. Can Michelle learn to always look behind her for the next attack or can she put things to rest for good?
Conneely has a superb story-line and wonderful character development in this fourth installment. The continuation flows perfectly from the previous installments. The characters are snarky, mysterious, humorous, and most importantly magically-inclined. The pace is very fast and provides a sense of thrill and urgency to the story, but not in a bad or harsh way. Since this was an audiobook that was provided, the flow of the story was terrific and the story seems to be well-written in order to flow as well as it does. Hays and Winkel are virtually impeccable with their dual audio relay talent. These narrators makes this story come to life, more so than imagery that the readers can come up with through description alone.

Absolute Power Might Not Corrupt Absolutely….But It Is Addictive!
This is #4 in the Witch for Hire Series.
This has multiple POVs, but it is a continuing story arc revolving around One Main Character! HFN endings with no BIG cliffhangers, but there ARE open issues.
I would advise to read these in order to get the most out of the experience.
Content Warning:
Still PG in terms of steam.
Story
A lot of things were tied up in the Witch’s Path Box Set, but now the big picture issues are manifesting. Michelle and Elron can at least lean on each other for their PTSD issues. Plus, there is a wedding, eventually! The ebook counterpart is available through the Kindle Unlimited program.
It is eluded that there may of been a small breather, but this starts out crazy and doesn’t let up. Sylvia’s warning of more demons to come was a serious one, but no one truly knows when or where. Varro’s knowledge and the Tree’s gift are not things to be ignored, but Michelle’s stubborn butt is determined to do so. I yelled at her so much during this book because she should know better by now! Seriously!
A lot of characters are total Twat Bags, but they made the loyal ones shine even more. Amber, Nana, and Elron are the best and need an award, or a cake!
Gretchen,
This Throat Punch is for you!
Its all self fulfilling prophecies. They all bring it onto themselves, and most get their due. The ending opens up a whole new can of hot mess and that is not even including the impending Demon problem. I am sure there is more crazy to come in the future! My fingers crossed for a Michelle and Elron wedding, but I’m not holding my breathe.

Narrator(s)
Jeff Hays and Laurie Catherine Winkel narrate. This is a true Duet so all the characters are the same voice all the time no matter who’s POV the chapter is focused on. It’s the BEST way!
Jeff Hays continues to voice all the guys, Yay! He is still amazeballs, but he is getting a partner in crime this time around, and it is only getting better!
Laurie Catherine Winkel does all the girls and perfectly complements Jeff. They make an awesome duet team!
