Fun paranormal cozy mysteries. Witch Lexie is off to the Lauriston Academy, her cousins’ alma mater, to investigate a case of theft. To her dismay, there is no way around the school’s dress code. To her even greater dismay, soon after she arrives, she and her feline companion, Luna, come across a dead body. Lexie has to live off contraband food, spout tongue twisters every hour on the hour, and avoid classes at all costs. Add to that her feline companion’s existential crisis, and Lexie is ready to start pointing the finger of blame at just about anyone. If she doesn’t find the killer soon, she risks ending up in a roasting pit… Witch A complaint has been lodged against Lexie and her chatty cat, Luna, and they are forced to attend a therapy session. Now, Lexie and Luna are on their way to Gainsborough Mansion to participate in a team-building program. In no time, they are both wishing someone would turn up dead…and in no time, their wish comes true. Someone has been compelled to commit murder. What if magic had something to do with it? In particular, the fabled Hensley magic… Witch When Lexie and Luna meet their new neighbor, Aisha, they both instantly fall under her charm, but her happiness is only a thin veil for what lies beneath. Aisha is convinced she’s cursed… She’s already lost two fiancés right before Diwali, the Festival of Lights. When Aisha loses another fiancé, Lexie knows it can’t be a coincidence. Trying to find the person responsible for the curse is no easy feat, especially when the Monkey God appears in the middle of her sitting room. Lexie must learn to meditate, levitate and cast a few spells, but she’s running out of time and it might not be enough for her to do battle with the menace lurking inside Aisha. She must find the person responsible for Aisha’s curse or risk the scales tipping in favor of darkness and evil. Good Witch Halloween is just around the corner. The Coven Board of Compliance has paid Lexie a surprise visit and found her abode lacking. She has been issued with a first and final notice to pull her socks up. Failing to comply could cost her in ways Lexie can’t even begin to imagine. Suffice to say, if the Coven is involved, it can’t be good… She can’t risk being sanctioned. But who has time to buy a cauldron when someone is out to kill witches and her favorite store’s resident Oracle has warned her of danger?
I really liked watching Lexie find new powers a little at a time. I feel her relationship with her feline companion was my favorite though. They were always trying to rile each other up and formed a strong bond. I sure wish I could communicate with my pets. Oops... companions. Lol. I’m sure their personalities would shine.
Somehow, I misplaced several of these terrific novels and now have the pleasure of visiting Lexie and Luna again. I love the relationship between these two and the stories are so cleverly written with great supporting characters also. A truly fun read!
A reluctant witch learning the ropes solving murder mysteries along the way. A cast of characters who tend to leave the main character to struggle her way through with little help or training.
