Read like an excellent rough draft. Very little romance, no spice.
Considering this set was over 1000 pages you might be wondering how I could think it's not a fleshed out story, but if you read it you'll understand.
I will say it had the potential to be excellent, which is why it was so frustrating reading it. Relationships felt forced and rallied heavily on vague back stories and time jumps were just supposed to roll with. Names switch up from one book to another. Rushed storylines but formulaic enough to follow without effort.

This collection of eleven novelettes (If the Broom Fits, Doom and Broom, Broom With a View, A Clean Sweep, Panic Broom, Sweep-Stakes, Broom and Board, Broom and Gloom, Over the Broom, Baby Broom and Swept Away) is the perfect companion read to Bourgeois’ Familiar Kitten Mystery Series. Each of these novelettes average 118 pages, so I read each one in one sitting. I read one a night in bed while my two familiars snuggle up against my sides. Since I downloaded this collection as a single volume, I’m reviewing it as a single book.
These two series really compliment each other. Although you can read the Familiar Kitten Mystery Series without having read the Wicked Witches of Coventry books and fully enjoy the experience, the Wicked Witches of Coventry books provide the in-depth backstory that makes them even more enjoyable and exciting. Much of what you only glimpse fleetly in the Familiar Kitten Mystery Series, is covered in minute detail in the Wicked Witches of Coventry books. I really wish that I had read the Wicked Witches of Coventry before I had read the Familiar Kitten Mystery Series books.
This series begins much like the Familiar Kitten Mystery Series did, with our heroin returning to Coventry after a long absence and a failed marriage. This time her name is Brighton, and she is unaware of the fact that she is a Tuttlesmith witch and the house she has inherited from her Aunt Maud, Hangman’s House, is a magical house. When she encounters “Meri”, her familiar, and he talks to her she fears that she’s going mad just as everyone told her her Aunt Maud had been before she died in a mental hospital.
Like our heroine in the Familiar Kitten Mystery Series, Kinsley, Brighton has a propensity for stumbling upon dead bodies and then solving the crimes before the local sheriff can. In this series our heroine encounters a whole new crew of bad guys—werewolves, zombies, demons from hell and witches that have gone over to the dark side, not to mention humans who have a desire to wipeout the Skeenbaugher Witch Coven. You will just have to read this fascinating series to find out more about that. You won’t find any spoilers in this review.
The age-old feud that existed between the Tuttlesmith Witches and the Skeenbauer Witches officially ended when Brighton, a Tuttlesmith Witch and Remy, a Skeenbaugher Witch married and had a child. Okay, spoiler alert, Brighton named the baby girl Kinsley Marie Skeenbaugher, the name of our heroine from the Familiar Kittie Mystery Series. Against all odds, Kinsley grows into a young adult who runs away from home to attend college. How will Brighton, Remy, Amelda and the Aunties handle that? We must read the next book in the series, Book 11, Swept Away to find out.
Shockers, Swept Away opens with everyone celebrating Kinsey’s first birthday. It doesn’t begin with Remy and Brighton discovering she had run away while they were sleeping to attend college. I loved this collection of short novels but I have to say I think that the glimpse into the distant future where Kinsey attends high school and then runs away from home to attend college at the end of book ten should have been left for a much later book in this series.

Quirky, fun and magical.
This series started out like others I have read. Girl gets dumped by husband, girl decides to pack up everything she owns and moves back home. Only, this was her mother and grandmother's hometown , and they aren't there. Trouble starts as she gets closer to Coventry. Brighton discovers her family secrets of witchcraft, and her life is never the same after that. This series is delightful, Brighton is quirky and up to try anything. All the characters mesh very well and are fun to read about. I could have used more information about Kensley and more in-depth coverage if her growing up years. The telling of her ended rather abruptly, but I am glad that the story of Meri the familiar lives on in another series. I really enjoyed this one.

poorly written
May not have been as glaring if remind the books separately, but reading the collection together… just was glaring. Characters have different names from book to book. Facts changed. And it’s from consequential books. Not like book one and book ten. It’s from the very next book. You will then have books with so much lead up then everything resolved in a paragraph. It’s like they had an ending and all this filler to get to the ending they wanted and it’s all… oh yeah by the way.. blah blah happened. As you go from each book it’s just gets worse. Just feels rushed and called in.

Series was OK
The story follows the standard tropes, blessedly diverging from the new witch and the handsome law enforcement guy (yay nerds); and the cat's level of snark is much less annoying than in many paranormal romance series. (I have given up on several series because of mouthy familiars!) The interference in legal investigation is a lot less justified, and the author blows off legal procedures "because it's a .magical town" worse than usual. The mysteries and characters are intriguing, but altogether the series feels like a first work. She'll probably het better.

What a wonderful collection of magical cozy mysteries full of great characters, stimulations mysteries, charming romance and family connections. The books follow the characters from one book to the next, as they develop relationships, interests and watch their family grow together. Each book can be read separately but they are best read in order. I enjoyed each book. What a great series and and great box set.

Really Good
This series was really good. I love the thought of witches solving murders. I have been really drawn to this genre lately and I have to say this series did not disappoint. There were twists and turns but it was always fun to guess the killer before reading who it was before the book told you. I had a lot of fun reading this series, so much that I got the first book in the companion series. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves magic and mystery.

Omnibus
The complete series. I read the familiar kitten series first but the two series are two similar. Mother and daughter live almost the same life except mother didn't know she was a witch until she got to Coventry and daughter ran away as teenager only to return. Both even dated sheriff named Thorn father and son. The cat is the star.

Loved it
This is a great series, I enjoyed reading it! I love the characters, the house, everything. The way this author ends each story is superb! Kind of in your face, making your mouth hang open in a wow! No rambling on. Every story is different and unique. I truly enjoyed every page! One of my favorite authors now! Thank you for such great reads!

The best laid plans often go awary
If you inherited a house in a small town with few job opportunities would you stay? Then there is the feud between the founding families. And of course...you are the only one of your family left in town. Right in their crosshairs until you're befriended by two of the matriarch's grandchildren and a talking cat who swears he's your familiar.

It was a fun read. Witchy, great mystery, and very likable characters. My only disappointment was the editing. There were many mistakes that should have been corrected, but not so many to take away from the story. With that being said I am going to start the next series.

Witchy mysteries!
Books 1-11. Loved the idea of these books. And oh my goodness.. the ways Brighton could get over her head with murder people. Meri is my favorite character. Cat with sass. Only issue that stopped 5 ⭐️ is some minor editing that drive me nuts. Can’t wait to read more from Sara!!!

Interesting reading
Liked the series but the last book #11 was confusing as they go back to when the baby was just age 1. Book 10 had the baby going off to college. Books were easy reading and kept you interested. There were some typos and words put in the wrong place but all in all i did enjoy reading the books

Meh
Even for the cozy genre, this series was just meh. Draggy parts, then jumps in time, and a sudden solve of the murder, just made it laughable. Not to mention the numerous spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors in every “book” in the set. Was there no editor!? On a positive note, I love Meri, the familiar.

Fun read
Enjoyed the stories but the author needs to learn to use the objective first person pronoun "me" instead of the nominative first person pronoun "I" after prepositions! That was a distraction.

Great books. The first one was slow, but everything picked up in 2 through 11.
I enjoyed these books so much so that it brought me to the author's series, which picks up with Brighton's daughter coming back to Cocentry as an adult.

Good read
I’m not much with words but wanted to say that I enjoyed these books very much. Each booked pulled me to the next one and especially loved the interaction between the mc and her black cat.

A must read before you start the Meri kitten series
Gives you a nice foundation of Coventry and the way Kinsley was born. It's not essential but a great insight into Remy and Brighton.

Story is good
The story has lots of potential but there are a lot of discrepancies in the writing and some of the character development needs more work. The author gets in a hurry to end a few of the stories. The stories would be much better with editing. But worth reading.

Climax & Denouement missing
Fun characters, decent plots but seriously, author needs to learn to write endings. You don’t just stuff everything into the last chapter and call it a wrap. I kept thinking it would get better, but the later books were as lacking as the earlier ones.

The life of Remy and Brighton. How Brighton discovered her “witchiness” when she moved to Coventry. She also discovered Remy, the love of her life.

Great read!
This is an engaging series with very likeable characters. I really enjoyed the series and looked forward to the next situation that would arise.
It was refreshing to read a clean story that didn't rely on "adult" situations to sell it.

The Tale before mark knew Kinsey...
This is the story of Monday's parents, Brighton and Reni. It seems like. A more innocent time, starting before Brighton was a Steinbauer witch. Its a fun read.

I have listened to the audiobooks and the finalised the series by reading from the series set box.
Each book was linked, but a separate murder mystery. Each has it's own review under the individual titles names.
I must admit, I have enjoyed each and every episode.
