Holly’s faced some serious challenges following her banishment from the supernatural community but nothing quite like this…
She’s fighting for her freedom but when her strongest ally is found murdered, everything is on the line—including her own life.
With her rag-tag band of supernatural friends in tow, Holly’s off to launch her biggest—and most dangerous—investigation yet. She must stop the killer without setting off the SPA’s alarms or else she can kiss her chance at freedom goodbye.
Witch Way Home, by Danielle Garrett, is the fourth novel in the Beechwood Harbor Magic Mystery series. Murder, revenge and plenty of twists ensue as Holly gets reacquainted with Seattle Haven.
Witch Way Home picks up right where Witch Slapped left off. Thanks to help from Evangeline, Holly has a meeting with the Haven Council to request her potions license. Her SPA officer, Harvey has promised to speak on her behalf. Teddy her lawyer is confident they will have no issues, but things goseriously wrong.
Once again Holly finds herself sleuthing as she tries to solve a murder-mystery as she also tried to figure out why a certain council member hates her. Th story focuses on Holly, the mystery and getting her license. While her motley crew of housemates and local PI Nick are present, the secondary threads didn’t overwhelm the case. I felt Garrett allowed for some growth in Holly in Witch Way Home. She is still finding her way, but despite all the troubles she seemed stronger.
I found the murder-mystery fascinating and loved how it weaved previous threads into the current case. The author answered questions, shared the Seattle Haven with us from shopping to its governing ideologies. It was fantastic to see Holly open up to her friends and accepts their help. Something happens with Nick that changes the dynamics with their friendship and dealings with those from Beechwood Manor. I was glad and liked how Garrett made it all happen.
Garrett still wove in her signature humor and snark balancing the light and the dark. She makes me want to move to a small coastal town and live in a haunted manor.
Amanda Ronconi is a talented narrator with a wide range of voices. She has become the voices of these characters and I couldn’t imagine one without the other.

I agree, it is very reminiscent of Bewitched. Hope you had a great Fourth Of July celebration and your neighbors weren’t too crazy with the fireworks.
Kimberly
Ha, the neighbors did, we even had them going off last night. Hopefully they are done.

Your review made me check out the rest of this series and Holly just made me smile! TY for the intro to a new series!
Kimberly
I am glad. This is a fun series.
Stephanie Jane
I love that vintage style cover and this sounds like a fun series to get in to 🙂
Kimberly
I like them too, and the series is fun to listen to. The length is perfect.
Debbie Haupt
The cover alone makes me want this Kim. It’s number 4 and I although you didn’t mention it outright by some of your review it looks like I should start at book 1, right?
Thanks Kim Happy Weekend and I hope you’re feeling better
Kimberly
While each book involves a new case to solve, and you could probably jump in, I have a feeling you will want the history of the characters and answers to questions like “how did she end up with a pet turkey?”
Crystal @ Lost in Storyland
This sounds like a fun read. I love crime novels with UF elements. It also sounds like the audiobook has added fun with the range of voices 🙂
Kimberly
The narrator is fantastic. She provides accents and more.

huh what happens if you make a potion without a license? they turn you into a newt or something? can’t fathom that
Kimberly
It wouldn’t be pleasant. I think its the selling of potions that requires permission.

I have the first one on my wishlist. These would be really quick audiobooks for me to get through.
Kimberly
