Witch Way Did He Go? (Witchless in Seattle, #8)

I loved this series when it first came out and somehow I just stopped reading! I'm guessing I lost track of new releases. So when I saw book 13 (yes 13!) come out for review on Tantor I decided I needed to catch up. When I started this one, I had a feeling I had read it previously. I think it was actually last book I had read but since I hadn't reviewed it and didn't remember much, I went ahead a reread. And coming back to this series was just as great as I remembered.

I just love these characters! Stevie is a great character; a witch who lost her powers but still has a tenous connection to the afterlife, mainly through her dead love interest Win. I've loved watching them both grow feelings for each other in a very sweet, I can't even see you, let alone kiss/toch you, sort of way. It's a very different kind of romance, right? So imagine how devestated Stevie feels when, in this book, Win disappears and she can't figure out if something bad has happened to him or if he has decided to "move on" (aka go through the light, leave limbo, etc). She's HOPING that he's found away to inhabit a body so he can join her in physical form. But Win had a lot of criteria for when he'd be willing to do that - person had to be dying, couldn't have family that he would be hurting, etc - so it wasn't an super likely scenario.

Watching her try to solve the mystery amid all the emotion made this book truly great. And the narration, delivered by Hollie Jackson was fantastic as always. She really delivers the characters tremendously and I felt the emotion. Really glad to be back listening to this series!
