Haunted and Hexed takes on a new meaning for Fio Valentine when she finds herself competing with a witchy newcomer to solve a case. When FBI psychic Abby Scott breezes into the office claiming to be Jack’s former lover, Fio is understandably vexed, but there’s no time to play mind games with the arrogant agent. A ghostly girl appearing in a team photo has become a harbinger of disaster for members of the women’s basketball team at Jack and Abby’s snooty Brentwood alma mater. Fio and Abby bet who can solve the case first, and with Andy Russel and spirit animal Champ on hand Fio takes on the mystery, but can she outsmart Abby and keep the drop-dead gorgeous psychometrist from making the halls of Quest Realty her new haunt? Find out in Book Five of the Witches Guide to Haunted Properties.
A cute series with a unique storyline. This book in the series adds a new, seemingly regular member to the H&H department of the Quest Realty group.
Where Jack can be abrupt and Fio over eager the newest member can only be described as a (b)itch. Abby is a former classmate of Jack and Andy. She makes an unpleasant surprise at the H&H offices. She’s determined to work with Jack and stokes a bet with Fio regarding who can solve a case faster with the prize being working in the H&H department. She wins the bet (barely) and neither Jack or Fio is happy about that.
I received an arc of this book and voluntarily provided a review.
A fun and quick read. Fun characters. When a new witch joins H&H, personalities collide. So much fun to read. Should be interesting to see where this new partnership goes next.
Such a fun series, but then that's all Ms. Smith writes! When a blast from Jack's past shows up, can Fio keep it together? Fio is more less tricked into a bet with Abby, Abby wants to join Jack and perhaps rekindle what she thinks they had. Can Fio win the ghostly bet or will she be stuck with Abby? Fio, Andy and Champ head to the former alma mater of Abby, Andy, and Jack to try to solve a series of mysterious deaths. Can Fio win the bet and keep the gorgeous Abby away from Jack? Abby is just the type of women we all love to hate!
There are strange things happenings at Brentwood, the snooty school where Jack and Abby went to. Fio and Abby make a bet who can solve it first, and the race is on. Jack isn't happy about any of this. A great storyline with a ghost who is a former woman's basketball star at the school. I enjoyed this story very much. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Wonderful as always! Lotta Smith is a fantastic writer and her imagination knows no bounds. I love this series. The characters are fun and engaging. I like how we learn a little more about their past in each new story. Keep them coming Lotta!
I'm such a fan of Lotta Smith. This series is unique with a bit more spooky than the average cozy but depth as well. This book was another page turner that had me hooked until the end. I love Fio's spunk and her character is one of my favorites in the genre.
New addition to the team! Will it work out or not. Quick read with great characters and Rio learning more about what she can do. Next book should be interesting with the new team member. Please read this book and if haven't already go back and read the rest of the series.
Abby Scott, FBI psychic tall, beautiful, stunning, bitchy, royal pain in the eye, with connections to some super influential and wealthy people have decided that she would join H & H to help Jack out. He doesn’t want her, Fio doesn’t want her and hell, Champ doesn’t want her but that doesn’t stop her. So she makes a wager with Fio – whoever solves the case first wins and stays.
As always, Lotta’s books are lots of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Fio and Co. Fio is slowly coming into her own, and developing more confidence in her powers, which is good to see. Having Champs helps. Works well as a standalone, but you will only want to catch up on the others once you have read this one!
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest It was a great book! "The Haunted and Hexed Properties" is Fio home turf. Enter Abby, she is a former classmate of Jack. She is here to challenge Fio for the honor of working w/ Jack. Now what ? The characters + storytelling were very captivating It has all the ingredients that you need for an awesome book! I can't wait for the next book in the series!
