Blurb/Summary:


"“Hands off, Sticky Fingers Louise. No touching evidence. You do remember how that went down the last time, don’t you? Think Montblanc pen and accusing someone unjustly.”


There's been another murder in Ebenezer Falls, Washington State, and Stevie, Winterbottom, and Belfry are on the case…sort of! USA Today bestselling cozy mystery author Dakota Cassidy's newest addition to the Witchless In Seattle Mysteries, Quit Your Witchin' is a hilarious thrill ride of food trucks, suspects, and spirits for our intrepid spy-in-training. This whodunnit will keep you guessing from beginning to end!

Poor Tito the Taco Man…it’s “nacho” lucky day…

Yo quiero taco man!

Hello again! It’s me, Stevie Cartwright, ex-witch and new Madam Zoltar! I was fresh off the murder-suspect list and just settling into MZ’s psychic medium shoes-with the help of my bat familiar Belfry and spirit spy Win-when another death rocked sleepy little Ebenezer Falls, Washington State.

Tito Bustamante, my beloved purveyor of mouth-watering Mexican munchies, has been found dead in the food truck court! Rumor has it Tito was stickin’ his chimichanga where it didn’t belong, and my gut-not to mention his less-than-natural death-says murder.

No one is above suspicion. Not Tito’s own wife and daughter, not his arch food truck enemy Jacob…certainly not the son Tito didn’t know about, newly arrived in Ebenezer Falls and getting cozy with my hired help.

Do join me (and try not to point and laugh) as I juggle catching a killer with the home renovations from hell, snooping for clues about Win’s previous life, gabbing with and eavesdropping on the locals, and enduring a visit from my very unwelcome, very annoyingly gorgeous ex-coven leader-all while continuing to adjust to my new witchless existence!

This cozy mystery has a complete cast of oddball characters from witches to ghosts and bats to psychics. Witchless In Seattle Mysteries is a spin-off of Dakota Cassidy's bestselling paranormal romance series, A Paris, Texas Romance."

Review:

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip back into Ebenezer Falls in the second book Quit Your Witchin’ of the Witchless In Seattle Mysteries.  Stevie Cartwright is settling into the town, becoming a contributing citizen, and dealing without her witch powers.  Winterbottom, Stevie’s ghost spy, is as charming as ever.  He’s become very protective of Ms. Cartwright and with good reason.

Alas, Tito the taco man has been murdered.  That’s the second murder in this small town in less than two months and Stevie is in the middle of all the action again.  She just can’t help it.

Never fear, Belfry, her cotton bat familiar is up for any challenge!  Between Belfry and Winterbottom they have to help Stevie solve the murder mystery and keep her alive in the process.

There is plenty of action in Quit Your Witchin’ to have you glued to the pages.  The characters and setting are full of small town charm and snark.  Dakota Cassidy portrays the small town gossip and cattiness well and will have you laughing and cheering on Stevie Cartwright as she finds her way.

Quit Your Witchin’ contains a visit from a character in another related story.  Secrets are revealed that will have you stewing in anticipation for the next book.  Great story and beautiful cover art are not to be missed.
