With twists, turns, and suspects aplenty, this one will keep you guessing from start to finish. USA Today bestselling cozy mystery author Dakota Cassidy serves up mayhem and murder in Witch Slapped, Book 1 of her series, Witchless … Slapped, Book 1 of her series, Witchless In Seattle Mysteries.
“Oh, good. Not a problem. I’ll invoke the Gods of Pilates. I’m sure they’d be happy to help. Hang on just one sec while I dial them up. Oh, wait. I can’t. Know why I can’t? Because my hands are tied behind my back with zip ties, Win!”
A rib-tickling cozy mystery complete with an ex-witch, a dead British spy, a cotton ball bat, and a cast of suspects that will keep you guessing right up to the end! Join the hunt for a murderer with Stevie, Winterbottom, and Belfry, in a race against time as the local police prepare an eight by ten cell for our intrepid ex-witch.
What’s a girl to do when she’s a broke, shunned ex-witch with a very tiny, very hungry bat familiar named Belfry to feed?
Hello. My name is Stevie Cartwright, and I’ve been witchless for thirty days.
If only there was a support group for down-on-their-luck ex-witches who’ve had their powers slapped right out of them (literally). Just as I was licking my wounds after returning to my hometown of Ebenezer Falls, WA, and navigating my suddenly non-magical existence with the help of my familiar, the only friend I have left in the world–things got sticky.
Enter an ex-spy and newly departed spirit named Winterbottom, who’s infiltrated my life with his sexy British accent and a couple of requests…
Thanks to Belfry’s successful attempt to use me as a human antenna to the afterlife, I can somehow hear Win. I should be ecstatic; helping departed souls used to be my witch specialty. It’s like I got the teensiest piece of my old life back. Except Win’s dropped me right at a dead woman’s feet.
Madam Zoltar, the town’s beloved fake medium, has been murdered, and Win wants me to catch the killer.
My old life won’t be worth much if it gets me whacked before my new life has barely begun–and that seems to be exactly what the killer has planned!
This cozy mystery has a complete cast of oddball characters from witches to ghosts and bats to psychics. Witchless In Seattle Mysteries is a spin-off of Dakota Cassidy’s bestselling paranormal romance series, A Paris, Texas Romance.

A fun read that had me chuckling at ghostly antics. Since I live about 60 miles from Paris, Texas, it has made me want to read the 4 earlier books that were set in that town.
A fun read!
Good lite entertaining read for a hot summer distraction! I really enjoyed the story and will read more of the series.

Enjoyed it and await the sequel.
When I first started reading it I was thinking it was a good book for a young adult which I haven’t been in a long time. I really enjoyed the book. Loved the repartee between the former witch, the ghost and the bat. I would recommend the series.

I thought this book was very entertaining and was an easy read . I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I love all of Dakota Cassidy’s books !
I enjoyed this book so much that I immediately bought book two. Love the three main characters, ex-witch Stevie, her familiar Belfy, who is a talking cotton bat and the ghost Win who had been a spy in life. These three work together to solve murders. This was a light hearted quick read that kept me turning pages.
This is my very first time ever reading anything from this author but it’s definitely not going to be my last this was such a fun read. It’s full of funny dialog, endearing characters, suspense, mystery, and action. Truly and enjoyable and entertaining read. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no minority compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Magic comes and goes, but you can’t let a mystery go unsolved! Especially with the help of good friends! Teeming with personality. Great read!
