Evian Wavily will do just about anything to escape her predictable life and domineering grandmother -- even sign up for a cross-country scavenger hunt. She's expecting action, adventure, and possibly a sunburn. She didn’t agree to the ghost in her hotel room, or her best friend Rita sneaking into the race. But all’s forgiven — if not forgotten — they race across Kenya.
The plan is simple. Too bad nothing else is. Evian and Rita are plagued with luck that redefines bad. Flat tires and a faulty GPS are only the beginning in a race that includes pirates, poachers, explosive secrets, and a ticking clock. What could possibly go wrong?
Pretty much everything.
Witch Way to Go is the prequel to the Wavily Witches Cozy Mystery series set in Tea Town, Kenya. Welcome to The Hotel Wavily where the guests are wicked, the owners are witches, and the service is to kill for. If you enjoy exotic locations, eccentric characters and bewitching stories, then join Evian and Rita on a road trip through spellbinding African landscapes today.
I've been a writer since I could hold pen to paper, which is a lot longer than I care to admit. I live in Kenya with my family and other animals. When I'm not writing, I pretend to work as an environmental consultant.
Amazon lists WITCH WAY TO GO as number one in the Wavily Witches series. WITCH TIME FOR TEA is actually the first book in the series. I believe that Vered Ehsani/Amelia Ash actually list this one as numbet 5.5, a prequel to the series, so, chronologically, the events recounted are first.
The story gives details of several things which have been alluded to in other volumes including Evian's discovery of her father's box and diary, the great Sea to Sky scavenger hunt, Granny revealing to Evian that both are witches, more detail about Rita and Peter, the first meeting with Blake, the encounter with poachers and the rescue of Stripes, the zebra foal. A lot of adventure packed into a small volume. Some, such as a brief meeting with a helpful ghost, could use some elaboration. Who is he? Why is he helping Evian? What, if anything, does he want?
Overly protected and sensitive Evian and her best friend Rita. Join a scavenger hunt in Africa. After a really stressful start to the race the girls fight off poachers, rescue a baby zebra, confiscate a camel, drive a high speed boat, get shot at by pirates, out run a shark, and that's only the first two days. What possibly could be left to happen? Read to see. This is only the beginning of their adventure.
A seemingly unrelated collection of crazy events consisting mainly of a scavenger hunt/race across Kenya, blood magic and impossible situations. Follow our two heroines as they deal with everything that's thrown at them, despite all the chaos and jumble this book works, very funny, Baz.
I assume this book was intended to be humorous, but it missed the mark for me. If you love slapstick, this might work for you. I don't enjoy reading about improbably foolish and incompetent people doing improbably foolish things with improbably crazy results.
The story will make you laugh out loud, gasp on surprise, and wonder what just happened. I couldn't stop reading and definitely want more. Witch way to go? On to the next book, of course!
Great storyline but too much in the head talking to herself. I like all the action and the trouble Avian and Rita get into. Granny is sure Kick and funny. Can't wait to read the next book.
Couldn't put it down loved the characters and the storyline so it's a well deserved five stars and I would recommend this book to everyone and can't wait to read more in this series
This was a good introduction to the series of books to come next. I will start reading them after a while. The book started to get interesting during the last half.
I loved the friendship adventure full of surprises at every turn that left you wanting to keep turning the page to the end. I would recommend this book for high school age and up as I'm 51 hrs old.
I love this author, their stories are so well done. They flow well, the concept is great and its includes chaos and mayhem. This was no exception, it made me laugh and I loved the characters. I would happily continue the series.
This was so much fun! And while I've never been to Kenya, there were enough similarities with South Africa that I could totally picture these events. And how many of her phobias are actual phobias?
Ceres Ehsani put a little mystery, a little humor, and a plot that will make the reader want more! I sure want more. Got to love the characters , especially Granny!
I loved the adventure with the little bit of mystery. Shocking surprise awaits you that shocked even Evi. Exciting moments throughout the story that you will enjoy.
This was a fun journey of 2 good friends going on a scavenger hunt and meeting every from a baby zebra to pirates and finding witch powers in the process
It is not a mystery book written for adults, that's for sure. But as a first book of the year, I wouldn't mind. Worst is the story development which is easy and juvenile. Mystery protagonists should be smart and insightful, this girl is just a... hmmm... I want to say Bella, but it would probably please the authors.
Very informal style for that easy read that I would find more suitable for young readers. A cozy witch "mystery" that is mostly about a "crazy" race in Kenya which is full of unexpected problems.
