Another fun read in the new series Witches of Shadow Lane created by Misty Bane. The characters all have such fun personalities and I enjoy every one of them. There is a murder that occurs and Misty along with her hunky druid do some sleuthing of their own to find out who murdered the local slime-ball. Everyone could be a suspect and even though Brock's ghost appears to Misty and her family, he doesn't have a clue as to who could harm him, continuing to be delusional in his after life. Lots of humor, a little bit of romance and of course mystery. Cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Another cute one
It’s been a couple of months since Shay moved back to Mystic Key, the paranormal island where she grew up. When she is instrumental in the finding of the body of a rather annoying shifter, she decides to investigate, because the police chief would rather take the easy path than to do any real police work. With the help of her friends, relatives, and a rather handsome Druid reporter, Shay is quickly finding evidence about the perpetrator, not all of it helpful!
A quick, cozy read, set in a delightful town, with a cast of quirky, intriguing characters. No guts, gore, or terrible danger, and the romance is lovely and slow-burn (appropriate for a recent divorcée 😉).

Very Good!
I got a Kindle Unlimited book by Misty Bane. There were 3 books, each the first in a series by this author. First book was the first in the Witches of Shadow Lane series. I absolutely loved it so immediately ordered the next one. Normally, I only read police procedural murder mysteries but wanted something lighter. This series is it---- clever dialogue, entertaining characters, and paranormal situation is written beautifully! It is a delightful, fun reading event and I plan to read the entire series! Definitely worth while!

Charming fun
I'm loving this series! Shay and Ember are settling in well on Shadow Lane with a fun, motley assortment of family and friends who have their backs no matter what. Good thing, too, 'cause this well-imagined romp includes a murder, a near miss, an attempted murder, snarky familiars...and a fainting goat?! And these are just some of the highlights in this enjoyable read.

Dang
Ok so like I said in my review for Witches of Shadow Lane book 1, that I finished early early this morning, I really didn't have time to read that book let alone this one,which I just finished. But I just couldn't help myself 😅🙈 it was just so great. Clean,funny,and as always charming. I recommend this read for young adults and up.

Witchy Orders
This was a decent supernatural who done it. This was a perfect continuation of the series and again it could be read as a stand alone volume. Misty Babe mixes the generations expertly. It is fun discovering how each generation of the witch family devlop their powers.

The resolution is weak
There's no real effort to create leads or work on a plot so the resolution comes from nowhere and is over in a couple of sentences.
Cozy paranormal mystery it maybe but it's not doing the genre any favours. The characters aren't exactly formed, seem to have unnecessary quirks that have no relevance to how they behave and are inconsistent. Errors again.

Witchy Orders is great fun for Shay & Ember.4.8 stars
This is a fun and quick story. Lots of interesting murders and of course Shay and Roman assist the cops in solving them. Ember gets her first wand and familiar. This is really a comfortable story because the family and friends all work and play together. You'd better get reading so you can catch up!

Why are they always incompetent?
I love mysteries, especially supernatural mysteries. However, it does seem like there is always an idiot in charge who makes outside help necessary !

I loved it!
Shay is settling in to her new life when there’s another murder and she’s determined to find the killer before her friend is blamed for it. It’s a great book with plenty of humor, mystery and adventure.

Men Are Being Attacked by Something with Purple Venom
This book has interesting characters. Some are in Shay's family. Ember has some trouble with her magic.
I also like Roman who rescues Shay several times.

Shay just can't help herself. When a murder comes to town she is the first to investigate. One man dead, another critically hurt and the clues tell a different story than what the police thinks. It takes Shay and Roman to unravel the clues and dig into past history to find the killer.

Good story but...
I enjoyed the story line and the characters are quirky but Ms Bane should either take a grammar course or hire a proofreader.
