“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 quick read
Love how the book ended. Made me want to read the next book just to see what new adventures would happen next. Have to say I was surprised about the cotton ball bat. This book cracked me up.
An original! Humorous, easy to read, fun characters! Loved it!
Loved this. Easy read.
this was a quick book to read and very entertaining.A very funny read.
Loved the book.
humorous
The premise was interesting and I’d probably read sequels if they came my way, but wouldn’t actively seek them out. There was a lot of repetition (seemed like filler) and it didn’t seem to move the action forward. Belfry was cool – I didn’t know cotton ball bats were a thing, but they are and they look pretty cute.
It was a fast enjoyable read.
Pretty decent mystery book
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Very light-hearted but a serious topic.
I loved it.
Dakota Cassidy writes really entertaining books and this is the first volume of a series. Without giving too much away, I’ll just say that the protagonist is a witch who has lost her powers and her sidekicks are a ghost and a talking cottonball bat.
How do you know a book is good? I am buying the next in the series!
Cute story definitely want to read the other stories in the series
