It’s like watching Bewitched
I love this series. It’s silly, clean ... and just keeps going. I bought the first for my daughter and have read every single one.
A quick read that’s entertaining!

I'd really like all the mysteries from one book cleared up before we move on to the next. But maybe that's just me. Also, I don't get how Jill can be so concerned about getting justice for people when she's so unconcerned about lying and cheating to get her way in other situations. I'm just glad it comes back to bite her on the bum. And why is she so nasty about going to be with other people? She acts like some emo middle schooler. Lizzie is more mature than Jill.

30 and still annoying.
Jill is getting better but she is still a bit rough on poor Jack. The investigation side of this episode was a lot better and more enjoyable for the work Jill did to find the answers.

Number 30 in the series
Jill has her hands full. Belladonna in the cafe has her bad guy radar at full. A case of an accidental death that turned out to be completely different in Jill's investigation. Clown shoes going missing, the new assistant starting and a hula hoop competition for the yarnies not to mention Lizzy is upset as she can no longer dream. All these keep Jill on her toes.
I found the book a little bitty going from one thing to another quickly. I also found the usual wit missing from the characters. It is like they were stuck still. Things are progressing but it was all over the place story wise. The flow was missing.
It was a good read but it was slow going for me which with Jill books I usually can't put them down. It was strange to feel less enthusiastic about this story but I think k the problem is that there were just way too many plots vying for attention in this one.
I enjoyed it but if I hadn't had read the whole series before this I might have given this one a miss. Entertaining but bitty.

Like custard cremes, this series is a habit
I enjoyed the first several titles in this series, but they've become predictable and fairly repetitive. No spoilers, but Jill has a cunning plan, winky has a get rich/famous/whatever scheme, etc. Etc. Etc.

Entertaining supernatural cozy mystery series
This is an entertaining supernatural cozy mystery series. A great cast of characters and a fun and unique storyline. Jill Maxwell is a witch who lives in the human world and is a private investigator. She also has family in the paranormal world and works cases there as well. She is a very powerful witch and keeps busy solving crimes and mysteries in both worlds. She has a talking cat in her office and her husband is a police detective in the human world. Her grandmother who is a witch also has a couple of businesses in the human world end of times it seems to butt heads with Jill. Mostly because Jill is even stronger technically than she is just not as much experience. Mini in the supernatural world come to her to help solve small and large problems to help save the magical world. Between the two she remains pretty busy. Very entertaining check it out

Jill has new neighbors and there's a discussion about the 10-pin convention. A guy is crushed by dice from a sign at a casino. Clown shoes are being stolen (but only from t he same foot for all clowsn.) They are dream vampires she has to deal with and something evil is happening at CASS.
An idea of Winky's doesn't work, for once. There's a hula hoop contest and we know who will win right off. Someone is imitating Jill and causing problems for her grandmother.
The one thing that I think has gone on long enough is Jill being conned by Winky. It's thirty books into the series and she still hasn't learned not to trust the cat? You would think a person operating as a private detective would be a lot quicker on the uptake then she is.
It's an average story.

I agree with Winky!
For a P.I.who solves a of cases, Jill sure seems to lack observational skills. She never seems to learn her lesson about not listening to Winky. You would think that with all of the times he's proven to be smart with business she would have learned not to bet against him. I wish she would have hired him for the job, at least he knows she's a witch and works half of her cases in Candlewood.

Jill can be so gullible to Winky's schemes; will she ever learn? If I were Jill I would sit down with Grandma (as difficult as that could be) and ask her to teach her everything she knows about all the spells Jill still has to learn. I truly enjoy the inventiveness of Adele Abbott and the mysteries she come up with to engage both the sup world and the human world.

Jill is a busy lady
Lots of crossover between the human and sup worlds in this installment of Jill’s life, from how the dice fell to how dreams are being taken from the children. This was a fun and interesting book. I always enjoy following Jill as she figures out the mysteries presented to her and in this one she takes on a couple of crusades of her own.

Clowns everywhere...
I'm with Jill, I hate clowns!
Ms. Abbott left us with some questions this time...
But I'm satisfied that those questions should be answered in the next book.
I was left slightly nauseas by Grandma at the end of the book. Gross! Who does that?

Dice involved in one of the cases
Jill often gets interrelated cases or one leads into another. Still to be resolved is the situation at CASS!! Interesting to say the least.

Intriguing
Just love the continuing story of Jill Folder Maxwell. Never a dull moment for her and Winky, her annoying cat. Cannot wait to start the next in the series.

Book #30 in the series and book #35 from Adel Abbott and still enjoying it, some things are the same in each book, but I enjoy the ever expanding world that has been built up over the series.
