It’s me again, Stevie Cartwright. Powerless ex-witch, pseudo medium, and amateur sleuth, reporting to you live from the case of the missing ex-British spy turned ghost/quite possibly one of the most important people to ever become a part of my life.You read that right. As Win and I and all the gang were busy planning our big Thanksgiving bash, he suddenly disappeared (right in the middle of … middle of telling me what a Philistine I am for even suggesting Cheez Whiz and crackers), and it’s as if he never existed.
Poof—he’s just gone! No one can find him, not even Arkady, our ghostly pal and confidant on Plane Limbo.
If I ever needed to make good use of everything my British spy ever taught me about sleuthing, it’s right now. But I run into roadblock after roadblock until I’m almost sure all hope is lost, and I’ll never hear his voice again.
Worse, how will I ever live with myself if I never get the chance to tell him how I feel?

Win has disappeared! Has he gone to the light?
With plenty of persnickety input from Win, Stevie is planning a big Thanksgiving celebration at her mansion for friends and family when, suddenly, with no warning of any kind, Win disappears. At first, Stevie is convinced that Win and Arkady are punking her. But Win has never stayed silent for days at a time, and Arkady can’t find him in spirit world, on Plane Limbo. Stevie is desolate. How will she bear her life without Win? She also tragically regrets that she never had the courage to tell him that she loves him—not just as a BFF, but romantically.
This particular book, while entertaining, with a very exciting climax and an upbeat ending, spends a great deal of page time on Stevie’s overwhelming grief at the loss of Win. That brings down the usually humorous tone of this series into a very dark place, which is a bit jarring. However, overall, the story is still well written, and there is a big payoff at the end in terms of Win’s situation which, by the way, has been quite well foreshadowed and magically motivated from early on and throughout this series.
I listened to the audiobook version of this novel, which is presented by the talented, Hollie Jackson, who narrates the entire series. It is a pleasure to listen to. She does an outstanding job performing male and female characters, both low- and high-pitched timbers, and every kind of foreign accent, especially Win’s British accent and Arkady’s Russian accent.
The “Witchless in Seattle” series is a lot of fun to read.

This book made me into an emotional wreck blubbering into my hot cocoa and shoveling Twinkies into my mouth as I followed Stevie and friends on the most important case of their lives. Find Win!
This story kept me on the edge of my seat flipping pages as fast as I could read. A wonderful addition to the series and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Stevie and company. So many possibilities.
This is another entertaining story in the Witchless in Seattle series. I was quickly drawn into this story and didn’t want to put the book down. Stevie is beside herself trying to figure out what happened to Win. I laughed, my heart went out to Stevie. I enjoyed following along on this rollercoaster of a story. I look forward to reading what happens next.
