This was a fun book to read. Interesting and well connected. My guess for the killer was incorrect but what a dynamic ending. I totally enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
This review is for the audio book.
I loved this book. I am a big fan of the authors Witch Squad series so jumped at the chance to listen to a new series. So glad I did I loved it. Just like the witch squad series but older (kind of like the adult version, in both the characters and in the jokes) and it contained a lot of the characters from the series too. You don’t need to have heard about the witch squad to enjoy this book but I think it helps add a smile to your face when a character you know is mentioned. This book also contains some great and whacky characters that you just can’t help but for in love with. It is a nice mix of personalities from worry wort Gwen, to handful Hazel, to loony Loni and all have there own individual powers , that make them such a great team and coven. The mystery is also good and keeps you guessing as to who the killer is, the use of magic is fun and gets them into trouble just like the teenagers. Definitely want the author to write more books in this series because I just want get enough of this fun and quirky group of friends.
With the death of Cat can four witches put aside there differences and find the friendship they once had? Aspen Falls is about to find out. Cat has left the four warring college friends her house with instructions that they are not allowed to sell it. Finally altogether for the first time since there college days the four ladies begin to unravel secrets that have been keeping them apart and one thing helping them reunite is the idea that there beloved friend was murdered and there is a killer roaming around Aspen falls killing witches. Can they find there friendship and there love of magic to help them stop a killer before he strikes again?
I liked the narrator and thought she did a good job giving each character there own unique and distinctive voice.
Each day that I read about the five elderly witches who were trying to “sleuth” their way to discover who murdered their long-time friend, I can’t stop myself from grinning and laughing so hard. This coven is giving a whole new meaning to the adage, “Age is just a number”.
Hazel Prescott may be the oldest among the group, but she’s the liveliest, loudest and funnest of them all. Yes, she’s so much fun to be around, wreaking havoc to the village and causing misery to her daughter, Gwynnie. Speaking of the witch, Gwyn is the exact opposite of her mom – she’s so uptight, a little prude and in control. Next favorite of mine is Loni Hodges, most hysterically mysterious and paranoid among the five. Her disguises had me laughing all the way down to Aspen Falls and her affinity to cats made me love her even more. Phyllis Habernackle and Charlotte Bailey, they’re a cute tandem, both have families of their own and a cat to boot, but I still have yet to discover more about them.
So far, so good, really. Their little coffee coven got me up and hooting three nights in a row; if not for work or for my kids, I could have finished reading the whole book in one night. I really love the antics and the misadventures that these old witches had been through. Imagine a very old grandmother hot-wiring a car in the middle of the night while her companions are on a stakeout – now that’s really something, right?
Will be spending the next few days reading about Hazel and her “trip” to Las Vegas, so hang on tight, witches!
