Bait and Witch

Summary: Librarian Josie Way moved to small-town Oregon to lay low. Instead, thanks to newfound magic abilities—and a killer on the loose—she’s leapt out of the frying pan and into a cauldron of trouble . . .

Josie Way loved working among the Library of Congress’s leather-scented stacks—until she uncovered corruption and made herself a target. As Wilfred, Oregon’s new librarian, Josie can stay undercover until the case goes to court. But life in this little town isn’t as subdued as she expected. The library, housed in a a Victorian mansion, is slated to be bulldozed. Still digesting the news that her safe haven is about to become scrap lumber, Josie discovers a body in the woods . . .

Almost as shocking, Josie learns that she’s descended from a long line of witches—and her powers have suddenly sprung to life. With help from a spoiled alley cat who just may be her familiar, Josie’s thumbing through a catalog of suspects, hoping she can conjure a way to save her library—and her life. . .

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

There was a time that I used to read pretty much nothing but cozy mysteries. I had several fave authors and I adored them so. Over the years, I’ve quit reading quite as many cozy mysteries as I used to- I still like them, but I’ve been having a hard time on finding new ones.

What I liked:

This cover is giving me all the heart eyes. I love black cats!

The potential chemistry between Sam and Josie. I’m curious to see how that might develop in future books.

Josie’s witch powers. I am interested to see where the author takes her power in future books- will she more like Samantha from Bewitched? Or a little more Practical Magic type?

Bottom line: I def want to check out book 2 in this series!
