"I wouldn't want anyone to miss anything about this great series"
Ophelia Jensen is from a long line of wise and very gifted
women. Her grandmother, Abby, is a talented witch and her
great-aunts, Mary and Dot also have their own special
abilities. With Great-aunt Mary about to reach the grand
old age of 100, Abby, Ophelia and her daughter Tink, travel
to North Carolina to celebrate with all the family. A
simple trip to visit family should be an easy affair but as
always trouble finds it way to the small-town librarian,
Ophelia. She didn't think there were any family secrets but as the
days progress, Ophelia realises that there is a lot she
doesn't know about her relatives and the mountain where
they live. Talk of curses, murder and revenge get Ophelia's
inquisitive mind snooping where she shouldn't. Will she
manage to solve the mystery and break the curse on her
family? Or will more people have to die at the hands of the
witch who has been scaring the locals for years? The Seventh Witch is the seventh book in what has to
be my favourite paranormal cozy mystery series. This newest
installment may have had a change of scenery but it was not
worse off for it. If anything, finally getting to know the
rest of the family and the mountain they live on was a long
time coming and I enjoyed every word of it. The plot only
made things better and a certain character showing his face
again was the highlight. I can't wait for more from this series. I absolutely adore
the characters and the mystery that surrounds them in each
adventure is always exciting. The paranormal angle makes
the series even more interesting and I love the writing
style. There is nothing I would change about the Ophelia &
Abby mysteries except how often they come out. Maybe twice
a year would satisfy me more than one a year ;) For me this is a must buy and must read series. Light but
not fluffy this is a lovely series to read if you need a
break from the hard Urban Fantasy but want to stay in the
paranormal genre. These books are also a nice series to
suggest to anyone who wants to try out the genre but
doesn't want anything too heavy. Make sure you read these
in order though. I wouldn't want anyone to miss anything
about this great series.
