Clues that tell me they were close to a significant discovery—the location of a copper scroll that leads to untold treasures. A scroll that treasure hunters would kill for.Now I’m in a race against time. Together with my Gran, best friend Jenna, my familiar Archie, and bad boy lawyer Blake … Archie, and bad boy lawyer Blake Tennant, we head to an outback town called Arrowstrand, where the locals are hiding their own secrets, and I must rely on my magic and blind faith to venture into the unknown.

This paranormal murder mystery will have you completely spellbound and laughing out loud!

I love this series. The characters are very relatable, funny, and imperfect. If I had to say anything negative, it was that I wished that the romance/heat between Harper and Blake seemed to stall. I enjoy the tension, jealousy and humor these characters share. I adore Gran. She is hilarious, whimsical and a little crazy. I am an ARC reader and I recommend this whole series!
It took me a little bit to get into this book but once I did I couldn’t put it down! I liked how well the characters were written. I have to admit I think gran was my favorite character in this with her spunky attitude. This book definitely kept me guessing until the end. I really want to know what happens in the fourth book. I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.
I really wanted to love this book. The author is solid; the writing is solid; the plot was well-conceived. My biggest problem with cozy mysteries in general is finding a viable reason for an amateur to feel like she is the ONLY person who can solve the mystery and save the day. The book sort of nicely slid over that issue quite quickly, so it didn’t have time to fester for me. With that, I am pleased. This book has everything that is considered necessary for a paranormal cozy mystery: spunky, independent young woman with a circle of supportive friends, elderly and somewhat eccentric relative, hot guys to the right and the left…it is all there. For some reason, however, I have simply not clicked with these characters, and at book three of the series, there has been plenty of time. I am not certain why this is, but as such, I cannot give this an “I love it” rating. It’s a well-written book. It is a good book. I just wish I cared more about the central character.
Harper Jones, Gran, Jenna, and the gang are on their way to Australia to solve a missing persons case in this latest read by Jane Hinchey. What surprises will they find in Australia? This is the third installment of the fun filled Witch Way Paranormal Mystery Series.
I am a brand new reader to Ms. Hinchey’s work, so I started with the this book. The third book is a great standalone book with an exciting destination and a possible magical mystery. The author does a great job of writing enough backstory from the previous two book so the reader can get to know these wonderfully quirky characters. My favorite two characters is Gran and Harper, two highly entertaining witches with plenty of smarts to solve paranormal mysteries. I love Gran’s observations regarding Harper’s love life provided insight about how Harper is in her personal and magical life. I laughed A LOT while I read this book over the weekend.
Ms. Hinchey can balance the paranormal fantasy and a well-plotted mystery with a touch of reality with ease. She provided excellent character development, highly likable witches, and some spice in the romance department. I am a very happy reader when I read a very well devised plot with funny and quirky characters with a dash of magic makes an excellent read anytime.
The only thing that I did not like was the rushed ending of the mystery. I had to re-read it again to make sure that I caught the main gist the first time around. I can forgive this one due to the non-stop action that was going on within this mystery.
I cannot wait to read more paranormal mysteries from Ms. Hinchey. A very nice breezy read for a lazy Sunday afternoon. An excellent book that deserves all five stars. I was given an ARC for an honest opinion.
This is a great addition to the storyline. The characters are well developed and the conversations and internal dialog flow naturally. The pace was constant with twists that made it impossible to put down.
This is a fun book. Action, adventure and mystery abound. It has a little bit of an Indiana Jones feel with the archaeology aspect. Gran is a hoot. If you like humor with your mystery, you’ll enjoy this book. I received this book as an ARC for free.
This book is filled with action and intrigue, it has a great storyline . The chemistry and interaction between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Witch Way Down Under #3 – I laughed too much reading this book. I found it funny that the Americans spoke Aussie English, including their slang. Good storylines, well written and interesting, which kept me reading, and laughing. The characters are always realistic and have good dialog. Pretty good mystery with a twist; I only suspected one and it was not the obvious one. It is hard to write about this series, one of my few favorites, without it turning into a book report. I contacted the author to review her books. 4*
Witch Way Series:
Witch Way to Mistletoe & Murder #1 – Gran had me rolling on the floor with belly laughs; I love that clotheshorse hussy. This is not your typical cozy murder mystery; there’s actually interesting storylines, funny dialog, an interesting variety of characters, almost all likable. This clean story moves at a fast pace and there’s plenty of intrigue. Gran plays a large part in this story, but she’s family, she makes things happen and she’s a good, loving support for Harper; plus her confidence and personality are over the top. There’s substance in this story, not the typical drivel cozy, and the characters act mature and can think. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
Witch Way to Romance & Ruin #2 – Gran is absolutely my favorite character; I love her spunk. This is a better read than the first book and it was good, too! The pace was fast and the storylines meshed from the first book into this one and grew with a couple of twists and new characters. There’s more growth to all the characters and even the new ones are interesting.
The dialog is filled with plenty of banter between the characters making for an entertaining read. Their humor and quickness of mind kept a perpetual smile or grin on my face. The mystery was better than the usual cozy, but Ms. Hinchey does have substance in her writing.
I did enjoy the sexual tension, which I found well written and not full of the consistent, overdone references to hotness,bodyparts,sexthoughts that so many writers force on the reader with their lack of talent and need to place sex in every sentence. Flirting at its best. This is one series my great-grandkids can happily read and still see human nature. Next stop AU; not quite a cliffhanger, but the next book is setup and it’s a trip down under. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
Witch Way Series End.
Love it 1st time reading this author. Just finished this book bought a another book by her. I couldn’t put it down stay up until 3 am to finish reading the book. I love the mystery the who done it, boy was I surprised by the end of the book.
This was a fun romp through Australia’s hidden gems. This was my first book in the series, yet it was an easy read as a stand-alone. I’m going to read more of the series because I enjoyed the characters and the hints at books before this one got me curious.
I love this world and the characters in it. This book was no exception. Can’t wait for more!
Harper, and company head downunder to find her missing parents! Fun read with a good dose of humor, magic, mystery, and a bit of romance. I love the way the characters are developing. Also, can’t wait to learn more about the mystery that is Blake Tennant. The ending leaves me hoping the next one is not far in the future!
I just love cozy paranormals, and this series is so much fun! Harper, Jenna, Archie, Gran, etc. are in Australia this time around to find out what’s up with Harper’s parents, and there is much mayhem. I love these characters and how much fun they have with each other. Add in a dash of romance, new characters, and a good mystery, this book was one I didn’t want to put down. I can’t wait to see what comes next in Harper’s world including her love life. I have a favorite, but I don’t think he’s going to win. If you love this series, or you love paranormal cozies, this is one not to be missed! I do highly recommend it! I voluntarily reviewed the e-book which I was provided.
What a great get away book. Loved the characters and the mystery. Keep guess till the end. I would highly recommend this series as long as you are ok with a little magic
Another great cozy mystery from Jane. This time it takes place in Australia while Harper tries to locate her missing parents with her Gran and best friend.
Of course taking the lead is the hunky Fae lawyer Blake.
The mystery slowly reveals itself, but as usual the book does end up
with major questions.
I can’t wait to find out what will happen with Harper next.
A little magic, a hint of romance and a whole lot of adventure await you in this third book of the series! Harper embarks on an “Indiana Jones”-type adventure Down Under in a search for her missing parents. I totally enjoyed the story and didn’t guess the bad guy, which for me is a bonus- yay! Would highly recommend.
Absolutely loved this book. What a page turner. Keeps you guessing the whole way through! If you like mysteries, this one will keep you entertained! Can’t wait for the next in the series.
. I completely enjoyed this book and look forward to reading others in the series. Since this is the first book of the series I read I was not quite familiar with the characters. The mystery was interesting with the suprise twist at the end.
