This is the latest novella in this series I've read, and each on I rated 3-4 stars more 4's then 3. I'm not going to keep reviewing them, you can read the 1st 10 to see what I thought or you can download the first one for free on Amazon I really recommend you do that if you like witch stories or funny British humor.

Almost flawless

I honestly love this book. It has plenty of humour, a characters who seems REAL, magic and develops the series plot a LOT.
I thought that jacks mum was awesome as well and Winky is hilarious. Honestly Jill's personality bothers me sometimes because she is so terrible with family and she is a bit insensitive.
Jill's stupidity when it comes to Social interaction is the main reason I am rating this 4 instead of 5 stars, Buuut... Overall I have to give it to you this book is hilarious and I'd recommend it for girl between 9-17

.As entertaining as ever.

Twenty stories into the series and still as entertaining as ever. Fun, funny and now very familiar characters never disappoint the reader. Winky the one eyed cat could carry a series of stories on his own. Pure fantasy stories offer a refreshing break for a few hours. I always eagerly anticipate the next book release in this series.

More fun mysteries

Jill has many adventures in this book, including some fun ones with her sister and with Jack. She solves a murder mystery, as well as a Candlefield mystery. Her world is expanded to Ghost Town, or GT, where she solves another mystery. I like the ending the best where Jill is left with the greatest mystery of all.

Good

Well the backstory is heating up again. I really enjoy my witch PI fix these days since she usually has several cases going now and the backstory is progressing with every installment.

Still as good as ever

I can't believe we are on book 20 but it's true! That being said, it's still as good as the first. All of your favorite characters are back and we get to meet Jack's mom, whom you will love.

Cases in multiple worlds!

Interesting cases involving sups, humans and ghosts, Jack's Mother and a personal life with Jack! This volume is packed with fun, adventure and mystery. Don't forget the mayhem from the families, Winky and Grandma!

The name game!

Where does our author come up with the names in her books? Does anyone else find these names as amusing as our shero Jill and myself? It does amaze me. I restlessly await my next adventure.

These keep sucking me in...I'm not even sure why. After 20 books, they have devolved into a very predictable format. The only surprise in this one was Yvonne. I'm really tired of the stupid names and dumb jokes...none of which are remotely funny.

Curiouser

Jill is still getting roped into doing things that she doesn't want to do. She is still solving mysteries. Her cat Winky is still being manipulative. Yet, there are new clues to a mystery that she doesn't even understand.

Fun and love the characters

I’ve been wizzing through this series and really enjoying the characters and there are “characters”. lol
Funny and usually causing trouble for herself Jill is one smart cookie.

Very Intriguing Read

This book has many twists and turns. At first the reader has no idea whom the murderer might be, and eventually our favorite P.I. has solved the case. Can’t stop now! There’s still 25 more books to go.

7 errors in this book!

The errors seem to be getting worse rather than better. Seven errors were found in this book. Is proofreading a thing of the past??? There should never be this many mistakes in any book!!

I guess the only reason I rated this a 3 is because it ended too soon for me! Entertaining series.

Basically a potato chip book. You know how as you get closer to the bottom of the bag, they're just not as good? Yeah. That.

Heroine has gotten more annoyingly clueless as the series progresses.

Love this series of books. So easygoing that you can dip in and out of. Winky does annoy me slightly. Even though he did help her in the last book. Will definitely be reading more.

Consistently good every book

Consistently good every book. I just keep reading them one after another. I can count on the mall to be interesting and keep me turning the pages.
