Good Witch #1
Wish Upon A Witch
Juliette is a good witch. Really. Her name is literally Juliette Good. Apologies for the redundancy. Good witch or not, she often ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Returning home to Charm Cove, Maine after the holidays, she makes a nostalgic wish in the town’s fountain.
As unfortunate luck would have it, seconds later the town’s ancient beloved balsam tree catches fire and is burned to a crisp. By virtue of being a witness, Juliette is also a suspect.
Suddenly, wishes cast by random strangers in the fountain are granted almost instantly if Juliette happens to be nearby. In the less magical realm, residents of Charm Cove are up in arms over winter road maintenance and a few too many fender benders during the icy winter.
Meanwhile, the only other person known to be present when the ancient balsam tree caught fire is Donovan Wick—a warlock who’s just moved back to town. He’s handsome and charming, and Juliette just might be falling for him.
There’s not much time for romance when the witches and warlocks of Charm Cove are chasing down whoever cast the spell that harmed the tree, and the entire town is disgruntled over the state of the roads. The mundane and magical are all tangled together.
Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there’s almost always more than meets the eye.

Cute romance with a sweet heroine.

Okay, dit boekje las echt heerlijk weg. Ik was echt eigenlijk bang dat dit een slecht verhaal zou zijn ivm de cover. Maar ik ben echt positief verrast. Ik wil nu gewoon de rest van de serie ook gaan lezen!!! Ook deed ik mee met een oogje hebben op Donovan. Ik snap haar heel goed. Wie wil er niet zo'n man? Misschien is haar wens in de fontein toch uitgekomen ;)

It's cute but honestly it's boring and predictable. Everything and everyone is named good or wicked from main characters to shops and streets a have different variations on the two words.
The final scene had to potential to be a great battle but it was kept fluffy and sweet.

Wish Upon a Witch #1 (or #8 since all of the Wicked Good are included) - The story still takes place in Charm Cove with the Wickeds and the Goods, but not instead of Moira and Liam, the main players are Juliette and Donovan. All the characters are there sharing the spotlight as always. This story is sort of a Christmas feel good story. Yes, there's a villain but no murders and a magical mystery to solve. A little slow in the beginning but all the storylines lines merge well in this story and there is a good ending. J and D are a perfect addition to a good series. I found this book on Booksprout. 4*
Wicked Good Series:
Destiny's A Witch #1 - I like this book better than Witch You Wouldn't Believe and Witch is When it Gets Crazy. The witches and warlocks are likable and their dialog realistic. I'm happy to see a male is called a warlock instead of witch (PC is so stupid with the sexes). Well written, clean but with sexual attraction makes this story entertaining. Add mischievous teenage witches, nosy friends and family on top of family pressure to do the Destiny thing, while determining if a death was an accident or a murder, leaves the main characters in all types of states. Never mind if there's a second chance for them or it is Destiny, there's a lot of happenings. Pretty good story without the usual stupid drama found in a lot of this genre. 4*
Hex Me Not #2 - Another interesting book in the Wicked Good Mystery Series. The witches and warlocks are still likable, interesting and entertaining. The background storylines continue while the main mystery keeps the reader immersed in the quickly read, well thought plot. The story moves along a steady moving pace, is clean and without the usual stupid drama found in a lot of books of this genre. 4*
Spells and Silver Bells #3 - Another good addition to the Wicked Good Mystery series! I found this book more intriguing and suspenseful than its predecessors. The characters are interesting and likable, and the regulars steady grow along with the stories. The storylines, original and new, are interesting and intelligent. This book is a bit more substantial and took a bit longer to figure out the villains, but I did miss the main reason, which was.... These books can be read out of sequence, but the storylines are build from the first book on, although all are standalones, no cliffhangers. 4*
The Great Maple Caper #4 - Pretty good mystery and plenty of "when is the wedding". The storylines contain a few kinks and an addition of a rather nice character (my favorite over many). The twins are still being themselves and trying to help investigate as well as solve a puzzle. All the characters are performing their duties while the ladies keep asking "when is the wedding?", driving Moira nuts. I like the sexual tension that's between Moira and Liam; it's not about body parts and hot this and hot that, but what is felt. The reader knows the power of their love without the trash aspect and inyourfacecontinuously. More of the powers of the witch families are revealed while trying to solve the mystery. The pace is fast and the descriptions keep the reader immersed in the story. There's humor and a good dose of suspense, rather well done. 4*
Oopsy Daisy #5 – Entertaining and intriguing and filled with pretty flowers, OK may be too many pretty flowers. Fast paced with plenty of humor and intrigue, along with more questions about the wedding, this was a quickly read book. The characters are good and believable and the mystery they work together on is kinda funny. It is hard to write a review on this series without turning it into a book report. Try to read them sequentially, but standalone works well, too. There are only a couple of series that I really enjoy about witches and this is one of them. 4*
Siren Song Gone Wrong #6 – This story follows a different track since there are no murders in this mystery, which was interesting and made for an enjoyable read. Not going to talk about the wedding plans, you will have to find out for yourself. The author does her usual good job with her writing style and good descriptions and interesting characters. While not necessary, it is worth reading the complete series from the first book.4*
Pumpkin Patch Murder #7 - This quickly read murder mystery is a good addition to this series. It takes place about two months after M&L married. As always the author blend the old and new storylines into an interesting read, while the characters entertain the reader with their lives, oh and solving the murder. There is definitely a good bit of romance in air. 4*
Wicked Good Series end.

This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading.

I found this book to be very dull and boring. I'm surprised there isn't any inbreeding going on in this town with everybody being either a Wicked or a Good or an offshoot of them. The author seriously needs to branch out from those two families.
Juliette and Donovan are perfectly likable characters. There wasn't anything that I disliked about them. Their romance is the slow burning and sweet kind. The kind that is meant to last forever because it's not a fast burn.
However, it all makes it all incredibly boring.
That is my issue with this book and the characters in it. It's all flat and one dimensional. There is no depth to the characters, their interactions, or the story. It's told on a superficial level with very little emotional depth involved.
The good thing is that I at least liked this book better than the other one that this series spins off from, the author didn't spend 99.99% of the time reminding us that the characters name meant fate and destiny....sigh.
The bad guy was too convenient. The way the whole thing was resolved was also too convenient and felt like a let down. I was left thinking, seriously? That's it? That's all that is going to happen to the person?
I felt no sympathy for the bad guy or any of the characters in this story. I didn't connect to them because of how shallow the whole book is and didn't really care what happened to them.
3-star rating because I did actually finish it and the writing wasn't bad. It was just BORING.

Wish Upon a Witch was a cute and cozy read. It was a little confusing at times with people. There are two main families in Charm Cover the Goods and the Wickeds. Which was a little odd, because it seemed like everyone was related somehow but you have to keep in mind that there are more people in town (non magical). The streets and shops were all very similar as well (magical theme or last name theme).
The story and setting gave off a Stars Hollow feel and how perky everyone was reminded me of Gilmore Girls, I was just happy everyone wasn’t rhyming like GG’s.
Overall, the story was cute and simple. Nothing scary and no swear words but it was very clean – Clean romance, clean dialog, clean confrontations. If you are looking for something non stressful then this is a nice read in between other books. It was a little boring and predictable at times. I will admit though since this was my first book by this author that part of me wondered if Donavan was going to be a bad guy all of a sudden just because his family moved away when he was a child and he was re-learning about everything in Charm Cover and asking questions… but no, no twists like that.
The epilogue at the end was nice because it helped close any questions you may have had about things that popped up during the story. I did appreciate that the author took the time to clear up topics/situations that were brought up during the book. There is even an except at the end to give you a glimpse into the next book, A Stormy Spell.

WISH UPON A WITCH is the first book in the This Good Witch Mystery series. I believe it will be best if the books are read in the order of release in the series.
This is the first book I have read from Lucy May. After I finished reading, I discovered that this series is a spin-off of the Wicked Good Mystery Series. Where Wicked Good had an over-arcing storyline regarding the relationship between Liam and Moira, This Good Witch Mystery Series is going to be about Juliette and Donovan. You do not need to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but I now have them on my wish list.
Every cozy mystery series eventually has the hero and/or heroine accused of the crime. I like that that was taken care of (and dismissed) within the first few chapters.
Sweet romance and a cozy mystery all wrapped together in one wonderfully spell-binding story. This was wonderful!
I love the unique powers of the witches and the fun storyline. I’m looking forward to more from this series.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

A New Spin-Off Series
I always pick any book by this author that becomes available at my favorite book review site because I enjoy this author’s style of cozy paranormal mystery. When I opened this book and started reading, I was taken right back into the familiar setting of Charm Cove, Maine. I'm so familiar with that wacky and interesting town that I didn't even realize that this is actually a spin-off of the previous series and not just the next installment of it. How fun to have a spin-off!
This is one of the author's more gentle books. There is no murder in this book. Instead, we have a magical mystery to solve. The author writes that kind of novella as well. Previously, I had enjoyed Oopsy Daisy, which is as light and fluffy as a mystery can get; this one reminded me of. Yes, strange magic is afoot, as is romance. As always with a Charm Cove book, I enjoyed this particular visit, and I look forward to seeing how things evolve in this spin-off that looks like it will be based on Juliette Good and Donovan Wick, this book’s hero and heroine. If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries with a touch of romance and a bit of whimsy, you might not only enjoy this book, but the Wicked Good series that preceded it.
I received a free copy of this book but that did not affect my review.

Juliette Good's homecoming started with a bang when the much-loved tree in the village square was set ablaze just as Juliette stepped up to the wishing well to cast a wish. Rumours abound as Juliette is a witch whose magic is electricity-based. With local opinion casting several citizens in the role as the villain, it's up to Juliette and her kith and kin to track down the real culprit.
3.5 Stars rounded up
I had just read a book in another Lucy May series (The Lemon Tea Cozy Mystery series) and was delighted to find that I had this book waiting for me. Alas, this series and its sister series, Wicked Good Mysteries, don't seem to have the same appeal for me.
As I look over my review for the other Charm Cove series, I'm reminded that it was also slow off the mark and seemed to take forever to reach its conclusion. I found this series to be the same. Moreover, Juliette just didn't draw me to her. She's a nice enough character, but utterly bland. By the end of the book, I was satisfied with the conclusion but felt the story had taken too long to get to the point.
I'll probably skip the Charm Cove books. They're not for me.

Juliette Good, Liam Good’s younger sister, has returned to Charm Cove, Maine, after college. She stopped at the park, beautifully decorated for the holidays, to throw a penny into the wishing well, wishing for a man in her life. The good part is that Donovan Wick, a warlock who also moved back to town, was standing behind her. They started talking to each other. But then something horrible occurred! The ancient Balsam tree that was extremely important to the witch and warlock community caught on fire. With Juliette and Donovan being right there, they naturally became the prime suspects for having set the tree on fire! Will they find the true culprit who cast the spell? Will they discover why this was done? And why are wishes made by random strangers at the fountain being granted almost instantly if Juliette happens to be nearby?
This is a wonderful story you won’t want to miss. This is certainly one busy little town where something is always happening. Grab your copy and see if you can figure out what might be going on this time?

Wow!! Great start to anew series.
(note 'spin off' of another series, read that one too!!)
Julie Good, (yes that family for those who have read it), moves back home and stops to visit the tree. It goes up in flames and she meets Donovan. They could be accused since they were there. NICE WAY TO MEET A MAN? lol
As you guessed, they have to figure out what is going on, be careful of the magic because of those who are unaware of it, and what to do about thing feeling. The members from the original series show up and help out.
Read this book. it is a fast easy to read, clean cozy mystery. You can follow along even if you are not acquainted with the other books. Author has always done a wonderful job of giving you enough info so not lost but intrigued to read what you have missed. For me they are like footnotes to remember since I have read them.
So go ahead, get your beverage of choice and snack , find cozy reading spot and ENJOY!!!!
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
My apologies for lateness of review.

A. Eye good book with interesting characters an excellent mysteries. I can’t Wait to read the next one
Amazon synopsis:
Juliette is a good witch. Really. Her name is literally Juliette Good. Apologies for the redundancy. Good witch or not, she often ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Returning home to Charm Cove, Maine after the holidays, she makes a nostalgic wish in the town’s fountain.
As unfortunate luck would have it, seconds later the town’s ancient beloved balsam tree catches fire and is burned to a crisp. By virtue of being a witness, Juliette is also a suspect.
Suddenly, wishes cast by random strangers in the fountain are granted almost instantly if Juliette happens to be nearby. In the less magical realm, residents of Charm Cove are up in arms over winter road maintenance and a few too many fender benders during the icy winter.
Meanwhile, the only other person known to be present when the ancient balsam tree caught fire is Donovan Wick—a warlock who’s just moved back to town. He’s handsome and charming, and Juliette just might be falling for him.
There’s not much time for romance when the witches and warlocks of Charm Cove are chasing down whoever cast the spell that harmed the tree, and the entire town is disgruntled over the state of the roads. The mundane and magical are all tangled together.

When a little extra zing is called for.
A good start to an easy read, light cozy series that is based in a community with a large number of witches and warlocks. The characters are likeable, friendly and display all the same concerns that ordinary people have. Love, money, health and family. The FMC has returned to the family home as having completed her degree she's not only homesick but has been caught out using magic.
What she doesn't expect is that a nostalgic stop at the wishing trough would lead to her wish coming true, a tree burning out of control and her being the number one suspect. Then there is the problem of the road maintenance, a a grudge a resident has against her and attempts to harm her and her new beau. Can she and her close circle work out who and why? And stop them before real harm is done?

This book & series continues where The Wicked Good series left off. We still have the characters from that series that focused on Liam Good and Miora Wicked along with the members of Charmed Cove popping in, but now we focus on 2 different characters, Juliette Good (Liam's lil sister) and Donovan Wicked. Each book is a cozy, paranormal mystery.
This is a great story filled with intrigue, humor, and a hint to romance. Love the characters, both old and new. Easy to visualize descriptions to detail. Engaging and informative dialogue.
Written as a 1st person, single pov with mystery completed ending.
Would I recommend this book? Yes
Would I read more from this series? Yes

Whoo hoo Liam and Moira's story may be complete but that does not mean the stories of the Goods, Wickeds (or Wicks in this case) are over!
This is a great quick story introducing us to both Juliette Good and Donovan Wick and reminding us of all the shenanigans in Charm Cove, Juliette ans Donovan have moved back (not together) but as Juliette makes a wish in the wishing well (yes Charm Cove lovers THAT wishing well) the beloved Balsam tree in the centre of town bursts into flames,
I enjoyed this book it was over very quickly but I hope as we go on we will see more of the other characters in Charm Cove and the oldies like Opal and Lea and Moira and Liam etc
Highly Recommended

Juliette Good comes home to Charm Cove , and decides to ask for a wish at the wishing well. She meets Donovan Wick there - kinda could be an answer to her wish, but the beloved town tree catches fire. Is it a mistake by her electrical magic gift? Or is someone out to get her? When other wishes start to come true at the well, there are suspicions that she may have made a mistake - but what does it have to do with roads? Will Donovan really turn out to be as good as he looks? I love all the characters in these stories, and cant wait to read more!

Depois de tantos anos, voltei a fazer o desafio de Halloween e este foi o primeiro livro que eu escolhi para esse efeito. O título da obra indica logo qual é a temática abordada neste livro de literatura fantástica/paranormal que também é considerado um mistério.
A Juliette regressa à sua terra de origem no mesmo momento que a árvore mais antiga da praça pega fogo. Ela é uma das três testemunhas do incidente mas logo se torna uma suspeita devido ao tipo de poder que ela tem. É então que para ilibar-se, ela vai procurar resolver o mistério e descobrir quem está por trás do acto que chocou a população de Charm Cove.
Esta foi uma leitura leve e rápida, foi interessante descobrir que na cidade vivem pessoas mágicas e não mágicas, e acompanhamos problemas dos dois "mundos" que afectam todos. Gostei bastante de conhecer a cidade e de saber acerca das famílias e dos poderes das personagens, que são bem diferentes do que já li.

Its a start
The book had a good start. I really like the idea of Charm Cove and all the Witch families having different powers they are known for. The ending seeme rushed in order to tie things up. We didn't get to know the other characters very well. The crime was solved a little too easily. I felt like the story breezed through the background of the person responsible for the crime as a means to justify the why. Only it just left me with more questions. The explanation came off more like inside information that you would get if you were member of a Charm Cove witch family. Only the author didn't explain it well enough for the reader to also be in the know.

Interesting
When I read the blurb I was disappointed that Moira and Liam were not the main protagonists in this book and from the looks of it will not continue to be so. Their siblings will now take the forefront as the Charm Cove series grows. But I was pleasantly surprised when I read the book.
Juliette and Donovan are both newly returned back to Charm Cove and the next few books promise to have them in the spotlight. I'd love to see more of Moira and Liam but I enjoyed the book.

New Witches and Electrical Storms
This is a fun episode in the Good and Wicked Witch Saga. Juliette moves back to Charm Cove and all sorts of things start popping. This episode is as much fun as the prior episodes. This is a cozy mystery but has an unexpected bit of bad language. More PG-rated than anything, but still surprising. I love this series and can't wait for each episode.
I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.

Wish Upon A Witch is the first book in This Good Witch Mystery Series and ties into the Wicked Good Mystery series. Juliette Good is Liam's younger sister and has come back to Charm Cove after college. I loved getting to visit all the quirky characters in Charm Cove and getting a new mystery at the same time. Great writing, fun characters and an intriguing mystery make this a great read. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

A little vanilla.
Yes, this is well-written and the storyline and characters work and yes it's fairly entertaining with magic and romance throughout and interesting little quirks but everything happens at a snail's pace so even the few action scenes are more of a stroll, for me a bit vanilla. Having said that, if you like a slow-paced cosy you might enjoy this one, not for me, Baz.
