This series is adorable, paranormal fun. I love the banter between Stevie and Win, and Belfry always makes my chuckle.

Dakota Cassidy has several light-hearted, fun paranormal series. I am sure I will make my way through them all eventually, but right now I am loving the Witchless in Seattle series. I adore these characters.

Former witch, Stevie Cartright has stepped in as Madam Zoltar 2.0, the new psychic medium in town. Not all of the locals believe Stevie is the real deal, but still they come to try and get in touch with loved ones. And when she is not in the store, Stevie, with the help of everyone's favorite British spy ghost, Crispin Alistair Winterbottom, and her cottonball bat, Belfry, tries to solve murders around what used to be the sleepy town of Ebenezer Falls.

This time around it is Stevie's favorite food vendor, taco man Tito who is found dead. Tito was drowned in a vat of melted cheese. Of course, Tito's spirit doesn't stay around long enough to tell Stevie anything directly. With the secrets Tito was hiding, it is not surprising.

As always, the local police want Stevie to stop meddling in their investigation, but she can't step away when after someone would be so heartless to kill someone as kind as Tito, even if he was calling Stevie a murderer not so long ago. But he has made it up with extra tacos since then.

There are many suspects, especially after Tito's wife comes in with her children for a reading and a not very benevolent spirit trashes Stevie's store in a rage...just after announcing that Tito has another child.

And Tito's murder isn't the only thing that has Stevie's attention right now. She has been working with Win's contractor, Enzo, to fix of Win's house and her Spy Guy has all kinds of opinions of what needs to be done. Really, why does a ghost need a pizza oven so bad? Hmmm.

While she tries to wait for Win to tell her more about his life, or more particularly his death, Stevie happens upon some information which she simply can't keep to herself.

The narrator, Holly Jackson, is perfect for this series. Her voices are perfect whether it is suave Spy Guy, Win, the tiny voice of Belfry, or even, Enzo, the New York contractor. I would be happy to listen to her Stevie, Win and Belfry make jokes and banter back and forth even without the investigations.

This series is perfect for those who enjoy an amusing and entertaining paranormal with just enough mystery to keep you investigating along.
