The latest in the witchy cozy series by Amorette Anderson tells the story of Max and Cora’s wedding and the coven’s attempts to solve a 6 year-old murder.
Filled with quirky characters, light paranormal situations (no horror stuff) and a good storyline, this series just keeps getting better and better. Penny is growing both as a witch and as a P.I., and her cat, Turkey, is stretching his role as familiar by helping more actively on the case.
A lighthearted, fast-reading series, each book can stand alone, but is best read in order. Highly recommended!
I received an ARC from the author, and I liked it so much I also bought a copy.
Love how the series is progressing. Can be read as a stand alone but us so much better having read other books in the series. Penny solves another witchy mystery with the help of her coven/knitting club. One member of Penny’s coven is getting married. With guests arriving through the portal for a wedding, Penny must solve an old murder in just a few days to bring peace and harmony back to the world. I recieved an ARC of this book and am leaving an honest review. I’m looking forward to the next book!
I adore Penny and her friends. Each book gets better and better.
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. I loved it. With a wedding planned, nothing can go right. Of course visitors from other realms have to choose this time to visit. although not without help from someone we all know and love. Everything turns out fine or it would not be a cozy mystery. From the start to the end can never be in a straight line. I stayed up late into the night to finish this book, an can’t wait for the next one.
I love this series. The characters are very believable and I understand them. I am an arc reader for the author and that is wonderful too.
I absolutely love this series. Penny is growing with each book as a witch and a person.This is one of my favorites. Such a wonderful who done it…
I received this ARC book for free for an honest review.
Penny, apprentice witch is growing in her abilities. She’s making sure Cora’s wedding is going to be perfect. But she has a dead magical being and four warlock suspects. No problem,right?! The Terra Coven has a lot to do with the wedding and investigating plus a new spell to learn all in six days. Can Penny and her friends pull it off?
This series just keeps getting better and better.
Something isn’t quite right…things are out of balance. When Penny and her friend Marley find the skeletal remains of a magical being, it becomes clear why things are out of balance. With only a few days before her friend Cora’s wedding, she has little time to find the guilty party. Can she solve this in time?
With each new book in the Hillcrest Witch mystery series, the characters grow closer to one another and more confident with their abilities. This series is best when read in order since each new book builds from the previous. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Absolutely wonderful. The coven, Penny, Annie, Cora and Marley, have so much going on in this book. There is a murder to solve, a wedding to prepare for and attend, and getting all the realms back in harmony, which can only be done if the murder is solved. The girls (women) all have their familiars now and all our involved in a relationship. Their next spell to overcome is “The Earth Spell” which helps bring everything together in this case. I truly liked all of the Hillcrest Witch Mysteries, but this is by far the best. I love Turkey but I can’t wait to see more interaction from the other familiars. Eagerly awaiting book 8. I am anxious to see where things will go involving the Mansion. I received an ARC from the author and am leaving an honest and unbiased review because I want to. The writing is great and the stories hold your interest to the end.
As someone who was picked to be able to read this book before release I have to tell that part. But I will also give an honest opinion on my feelings about this book. Once again Ms. Anderson has kept Penny, her coven and myself busy trying to keep up with the latest mystery for her to solve. Not only is Penny growing as a witch she is growing as a person and finding what she has been searching for since her mother’s death. To say I enjoyed reading this is an understatement, which explains my staying up too late last night, couldn’t put it down until the end. With each case that Penny solves the character continues to grow and strengthen as does each character in the book. Every new book in the series gets better and better and leaves you waiting and wanting the next one! I totally recommend the entire series as a wonderful way to join the world of magic!
Another whimsical mystery from Amorette Anderson. A lot has happened in this series in a short amount of time for its inhabitants. Lots of love, life and death, but all in great fun.
It is nearly time for Cora’s wedding! Marley is settling in to the fact that she now has money. Annie’s new love has moved in with her, and Penny’s relationship with Max is going strong.
Money hasn’t change Marley. She still isn’t the kind to want to build a home in a traditional house. However owning the mine and land around it where she likes to park her van has advantages. In an effort to make her view a bit nicer and park closer to the trees for her owl familiar, she decides to have an area off the parking lot leveled.
When they find a skeleton as soon as the project gets started, it becomes a job for her best friend, PI Penny Banks. The site is very near the portal between realms. If the skeleton ends up being otherworldly in origin there’s no need to involve the police. Penny and her coven should be able to handle a supernatural murder.
But with Cora’s wedding in less than a week, will the investigation wreak havoc with the joyous event?
Kindle Unlimited edition
The latest outing in the Hillcrest Witch Series by Amorette is another delightful story about Penny and her coven members investigating
the discovery of human bones on Marley’s property.
Come along and have a ring side seat as the girls do some sleuthing to identify and bring the killer to justice as only they can.
Amorette’s series shows Penny’s maturity as she has gone from a girl who is struggling just to pay her bills to a girl now gaining more and more confidence in herself and her increasing witchy powers as she and her coven members embrace becoming witches. The transformation has been phenomenal.
I love these down to earth characters who have delighted me from the beginning of the series. They are my friends and I eagerly look forward to each new episode to see what new adventures await them.
I do hope you will join me in this adventure because we all need a break from reality to recharge our batteries after day after day of bad news and I can’t think of a better way to do that than to settle down with one of Amorette’s books!
I recieved this book for free as an ARC from bookfunnel. As usual an enjoyable read from one of my favorite authors Amorette. All the characters have grown so much and working in a cold case gave it a different feel.
Another great read about Penny and the gang! They have another mystery to solve, and this one seems more complicated! This is a great page turner. If you haven’t read this series, I highly recommend it. This author is great!! She really keeps each book interesting, and you just can’t wait til the next one comes out!
“You know Penny, some people are so afraid to fail that they never try.“
Penny’s at it again! Another spell, another case….another “problem”. Seems the realms are disharmonious and when an old body is found up near Marley’s mine… our intrepid detective, her coven and her familiar need to “right the wrong” that not only could ruin Cora’s wedding, but have another cycle of years out of wack!
Can she reunite the Coven of Murdock and find out who killed the “missing member”? Will Cora’s wedding to Silas go off without a meltdown? Will Turkey overdose on sardines? And just what does Max have up his sleeve…or in his heart, this time?
I just love these books: a bit snarky, a bit witchy, and a whole lot of fun. Amorette Anderson has conjured a great series that gets better and better as it progresses. Highly Recommended 5/5

Title:
Happily Ever After ~ magical style ….
How to spark interest in a new member of the town: “Start describing his appearance for his upcoming wedding in his alternative form (werewolf), and wearing a tuxedo, no less. That would have to be the wedding to remember. The only question would be: Would it be the right paw, or not?”
So much for a nice easy job for a backhoe (move some lumps out of the way for a new “homestead”, and uncover human bones. The plus side is Silas is honest, some people would act like they didn t see them.
The more I read of this series, the more I convinced that Turkey has far more intelligence than the average calico. This is definitely a very unique counter balance to Penelope, and provides a good “roundness” to the spells.
{Note to self: if I ever visit Colorado again, to bring at least one can of sardines — in case I come across a witch with a cat, bird, or similar for a familiar.} Nice to know what/how to bribe Turkey!
Possibly the main thing about murder is: there is no stature of limitations. At least here in the Earth Realm, so the one who committed it shouldn t have shown up for the wedding.
This case set seems to be coming together like a typical cold case. Our knitting circle witch coven should be able to figure out who, even with the false lead or so thrown in.
You ll have to get this book and see how they do it. Who knows, you might even catch a werewolf in a tuxedo.
Live life,
John Shrek Walters
I can’t believe how these books keep getting better and better! Penny and the gang are wonderful characters and Turkey is both super smart and hilarious! Amorette, keep these books coming!
Need to learn the next witch spell, solve a past murder, deal with harmony, and be the best Maid of Honor there is . Do all this at the same time and immediately. Could you do it?
Great cozy mystery that is easy to read. You can read this one out of sequence but you will want to go back and gain some of the details that are in the previous books.
I know that based on feedback that the author has added material that is not in my ARC copy. Kudos for the author for listening to her audience and adding the feedback given.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
