Snark, British humor and cliffhangers
I think I'm done with this series. I enjoy some of the humor, but not all. I used to enjoy the mysteries, but not so much anymore. Leaving a plot line unfinished so we have to read the next book is my end point.
I'm sure plenty of others will continue to enjoy these stories.

Jill’s nightmares are coming true
How can one witch take on so many problems at once? Well Jill does it all!
Its bad enough that someone is painting her name all over town, and someone is selling bad blood to vampires, Ma Chivers and Grandma is giving her fits, her sister and Winky are as manipulative as usual and her friend us accused of murder. And a dragon is flying around CASS.
What could go wrong?

Jill is a witch
The graffiti was popping up around town and no sooner had she had the graffiti covered than it appeared again. Who was doing the painting was just one of many mysteries in this book. Plus a murder to solve and clowns to avoid. I enjoyed reading this book and all of the antics of Winky, Grandma and the rest of the crew.

I wish I could say that I enjoyed this book as much as others in the series. Jill is still using her brains and powers for good, but she doesn't get the income that she deserves. Add to that, her cat Winky and others take advantage of her. Admittedly, she is no saint, but I wish that she would win more than she loses.

And The Fun Continues
Ongoing events continue to keep the reader involved in Jill, PI’s life. It is maddening to read how her sister is so mean by exploiting her fear of clowns and constantly lying to her. It isn’t clear why Jill continues to be involved in Kathy’s life which sets her up for ongoing mischief.

Myrtle is in jail on a murder charge. There are missing people, more ghosts for Lizzie, a mystery for an 'escape room,' and what seems to be a graffiti attack on Jill. You've also got an angry dragon, Ma Chivers, another magic contest and a problem with tainted blood.
A busy and fairly decent addition to the series.

Witch is ... books the best!
LOVE these books! Jill gets into the most interesting fixes usually without trying. Hope they stay as fresh as they are now and keep on going. Cant wait for 11/23!

So entertaining
I like how easy it is to follow this book series through interruptions. The humor is also a help, keeps it light reading, which is why it’s easy to jump in and out of.

Aaaargh! Winky.
No Jill, do not pay Winky back. YES, pay Jack back. Best episode for a long time. Jill is finally starting to act somewhat adultish and the mystery part of the story was very well written. Jill also seems to be truly getting a handle on her witch side.

Struggling with her secondary relationships
I wish Jill would grow a backbone where Winky is concerned. I get their dynamic, but he is a cat that she rescued. She should put him in his place a little more often.

Jill has some unique cases in this book. Grandma weasels a favour from Jill, and the twins have figured out a way to have a kid free day.
This series is a must read!

I’m glad she can share her adventures with Jack now.

I'm done with this series. It's become a poor shell of itself. They're not well written, the attempts at humor fall flat, and the characters are annoying as hell.

Love these books.
Love these books. Great for giving you a break from life! Winky is such a mess! Then again so is Jill.

Kinda cute - basic potato chip. No nutritional value, no brain engagement necessary. But it was kinda cute.

Another good one
The more I read the Witch P.I. Series the more I enjoy it. Not sure if that makes me crazy or not! ;)

Witch is how the mirror lief
Once again Jill had done it with very little magic. She would be a whole lot better off if she did use her powers.

Easy read
The series is a nice easy read. The mysteries are simple and easy. If you are in the mood for something light, this is a dood collection.

Always exceptional, Winky and his schemes and lady loves, Grandma and her schemes too, and her sister Kathy and her schemes to rope Jill into events. So much fun.

Not enough time in the day.
What a great story line. I’d like to know how she finds enough time to do all she does! Ah yes,she is a witch! (Which is how she gets things done.)

Mirror mirror on the wall
Lost adult children, friends in prison, graffiti managed. Those snoopy crocheters and a clowns reckoning means never a dull week for Jill r the readers.

Graffiti
Several twists that I had not expected. An unwilling graffiti artist, an over zealous neighbor and a supposed good deed gone wrong. Another day in the life of Jill!
