Okay, don't get me wrong this was a fun listen. And I get why it gets a full book listing (as opposed to a 11.5 for example) - the series development is important. You don't want to miss this book. But I also really would have liked it if there were a full mystery! Because the only mystery in this book was super obvious from the get go.

I laughed quite a bit, because man oh man was Stevie clueless! For someone who routinely solves mysteries she was slow on the uptake. But, perhaps (like me) Stevie felt like surely something more HAD to be going on, right?

That said, this was a fun short novella with fun narration from Hollie Jackson (as always).

Humor, trust issues, and strange behavior offered slapstick laughs.

Everything seems off for Stevie, from her spy guy’s behavior to the people of Ebenezer Falls. Stevie doubts her man in this fun, over the top tale. Everyone around her is acting like she is crazy, but Stevie knows something is up.

This was a quick listen that I devoured while wrapping presents. Stevie is observant, which leads her to moments of self-doubt when things don’t add up.

As the listener I felt I was privy to the happens and watching Stevie out of sorts had me laughing at the shenanigans. I ended up finishing with a smile.

Hollie Jackson has become the voice of these characters, from accents to the unique voices. Her pacing and tone add a fun layer to this series.

I recommend listening to the books in this series in the order of their release. While I am sure listeners can surmise what is happening, this is more a listen for fans of the series. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

I love this adorable, quirky series.

The Witchless in Seattle stories are usually short but at 102 pages, this one was especially short and I finished in only a few hours. Since the book was short, my review will be very brief as well.

As you might have guessed, in Gettin’ Witched Win finally pops the question but in true Stevie style, she can’t keep her nose out of it and almost ruins the surprise. According to Win, it has taken two months of planning to get this night perfect. Win has a plan which he is trying to finalize. Problem is Stevie is naturally nosy and she hasn’t had a mystery to butt in on for months so her overactive imagination is in hyperdrive.

Stevie overhears conversations. There is a mystery woman in town named Donna who picks Win up and drives off. And Stevie is certain she saw an Aston Martin drive through Ebinezer Falls. the same sports car that her International Man of Mystery owns but which he never let her have.

Win is hiding something from her and Stevie is afraid that some skeleton has popped out of Win’s closet.

Not only is Win, Belfry and Arkady acting weird, it appears that the whole town is jumping every time they see her or simply avoiding her completely.

This series is my guilty pleasure. It truly is a literary Twinkie but I just love it. If you checked our my prior reviews on this series, I was cranky how things were going relationshipwise between Stevie and Win. He was dead and existing on plane Limbo helping Stevie investigate murders. He kept declaring that he would find a way back to be with Stevie. He figured out how to jump into his identical twin’s dying body, all to be with Stevie on the earthly plane and yet, he’s been living in the guest cottage that they built on the property instead of moving into the huge house that he helped design. Even with both of them almost dying again, it wasn’t forcing their relationship along. It was frustrating. What are they waiting for? Well, finally he proposes.

There are still some continuing issues which still need to be addressed, including the Warlock who took away her powers and who keeps trying to kill her and whether Stevie will ever get her powers back. I want answers but I hate to think any answers to these questions might just be the end of our fun.
