This is the second book in a new series that looks at the same basic story from the perspective of four different characters. In Book 2 we get to know Fiona Price, an independent young woman/witch from a wealthy family who wants to do life on her own terms. The series is about four friends entering a contest to compete for a wealthy bachelor with several sub plots; I assume each book will introduce sub plots unique to it’s main character.

I received a free copy of this book for my voluntary honest review. The four books in this series are supposed to be stand-alone, able to be read in any order. However, the author does mention in her Introduction that there are clues to the ultimate ending in each book, though each book leaves the overall storyline unresolved until Book 4. Because I started the series in Book 2, it feels like I missed some important information from Book 1.

That being said, the general storyline in this book is good and the characters are well-developed and very likable. (I did find myself wishing three of the important male characters didn’t have similar names all beginning with a “C” and 4 letters in length.) The story does resolve those portions of the plot relating to the main character, but there are significant segments of the overall storyline left unresolved.

I like the story and am intrigued by the overall series, however, I am not a fan of cliffhangers.

I really enjoyed this story. It is a combination of a cozy witch mystery, strong supportive friends story, and romance. The characters, both good and bad, are wonderful and each has an interesting back story that brings their own points of view into the story. This is the second of four stories that surround the same major events, but told from each of the 4 rich witches view point and romance. Fiona is the main character of this story, she really does not know what she wants out of life since she has always had to represent her family in the public. It takes being involved in a "find-love" reality TV show to reveal who she really is and what and who she wants out of life.

I had one major confusion or issue with the story and that is the four witches discuss being rich, but conversely also discuss needing to make money and their different get rich quick schemes. I am hoping that when I go back and read book 1 it will explain my confusion. It was not enough to cause me to dislike the story in any way, just made it sillier.

I liked this story well enough that as soon as I finished reading it, I purchased book 1. I plan to read the rest of the series as well and will look into other books by Michelle Francik.

I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.

There is three books about the same history, every one can be read as a stand-alone book or you can read them all. It's about four witches and their latest get rich quick scheme. Stella, Fiona, Raven and Poppy enter a rich bachelor-show to both win prices and/or a rich husband and to solve a mystery thats been in Stellas family over why her ancestry home was taken over by another familye. The show is theld in the manor so they can sneak around and try to get clues.

This book is written in Fiona's perspective. I thought it would be weird to read the same book three times, especially when I had fallen in love with the first main character. I was wrong, and I could then fall in love with the others as much and see the events from their prospective.

An Unusual Mystery to Solve . . .
Although I never watch reality TV shows, this is a clever concept for basing several books from the various perspectives. Four wealthy rich friends, Stella, Fiona, Raven and Poppy, are contestants on a reality show featuring a wealthy bachelor as the prize. The mystery to be figured out is why Stella’s Marwood Manor family home was taken from them many years ago. The show takes place right there in the manor to make it accessible for gathering clues.

This particular version of the story is from Fiona's perspective. Chadwick is the wealthy prize. Navigating danger, a corpse, and suspenseful situations, Fiona and her sweet Dalmatian will dive into the investigation of who stole the manor and jewels from Stella’s family. Can Fiona solve the mystery without turning to her magic? Will her life be put in danger before the commercial break?

"But we’re not giving up. We’ll figure this out. The Four Rich Witches aren’t quitters."

Four witchy friends support one another through a reality dating show. This book's about Fiona Price and how she'd do anything not to simply be seen as one of THE Prices, even go on a dating show! Will she and her dalmatian, Diamond find what they're looking for?

This is my first book by Michelle Francik, but it won't be my last. Some of the plot twists had me going for a while and I felt a bit mixed up, but the ending helped with all that. A fast,fun read on it's own, but part of a 4 book series. Highly recommended 5/5

Our heroine goes on a reality show to help a friend, but reality is not all it is cracked up to be.

This is book two of the series, but it works just fine as a standalone. All the essential bits are covered early on.

This is a cozy witch mystery with a touch of romance. The story is well written and easy to read and filled with many of the standard tropes of the genre. I really like our heroine who is rather different from previous witchy leads that I have read. The plot is fun, contains several twists and turns to the mystery and also contains quite a bit of humor. Overall, the story is highly entertaining and I am definitely looking forward to more in the series.

Highly recommended

Four wealthy witch friends are on a dating show for a wealthy bachelor. Each witch has her own storyline and this is for Fiona. The characters are fun and the clue sniffing is great as they hunt for why her friend and the family lost the mansion the show is being done in. Surprises and twists are all over the place, with sub plots and romance. The main mystery will accumulate until the ending of the series, but each book has its own things to figure out. Loved the concept and how it wraps everything together in one location. Interesting mansion. Love their sass and banter with each other.

I love the approach the author is taking with this series, showing us the different viewpoints this group of four friends have of the same set of circumstances. Having read the first book immediately before this one, there were parts that felt a bit repetitive, but I think that’s only because I read the two books so close together. This time we follow Fiona as the leading lady. I found her story to be one largely about being true to your heart and being willing to defy expectations.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It is intertwined with the first book as expected but has different viewpoints. Fiona learns about herself and what's important. I liked how she let Edward know she was interested in him. After the reality show was over, she has a job that is perfect for her. There is a small hiccup when she finds out who Edward really is but it is soon over and Fiona and Edward will get together as they share the same basic principles.

4.5 Stars This is the same story as the first in the series but told from the point of view of one of the other witches, consequently it is a little less engaging but still an interesting and fun read to see the differences in attitude and perspective. I look forward to seeing which character will be featured in the third book.

I really enjoyed Filthy Stinking Witch. I like this series. This book runs parallel to book 1 in the series but from the perspective of another character. It is really interesting to see the story from a different perspective and follow the story of a different character. This is a fun book. It is an interesting mystery and romance.

[Sheila · Rating 3 out of 5]

Didn't read the first one. What are the sayings? Is there honor among us & I see dead people, yes both of these are part of the story. Along with a little romance, mystery, a cliffhanger, etc. I have mixed feelings, maybe if I read the first book in the series, &/or the next #3, will change my mind n get more stars.

[Willow Webster · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was really good even though most of the story was the same as the first book though from another persons perspective . I enjoyed reading it. But I still don't know who won!

[Emily Stafford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interesting

The concept for the series is unique and turning out to be most interesting. Can't wait for the next book in the series to come out and see which heroine it will be.
