Bait and Witch

Witch Way Librarian Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Angela M. Sanders

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

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' 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 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....

fun story

Fun story about a witch finding her powers and growing into them. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Pleasantly surprised

Bait and Witch is well written with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Great Story

It’s definitely a fun story, but it’s also full of action. There aren’t too many dull moments since the whole thing is kind of a mystery and she’s literally on the run. Lots of twists and turns.

A GREAT NEW ADDITION TO COZY PARANORMAL

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS FIRST OUTING WITH JOSIE AND HER ADVENTURES. I ADMIT I GOT A BIT IMPATIENT ONCE OR TWICE, BUT SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE FIRST BOOK IN MOST ANY SERIES. THERE IS GROUNDWORK TO LAY AND RELATIONSHIPS TO CLARIFY. THE BOOK IS A WINNER, AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT.

A fun light read

I truly enjoyed this book. Going to look for the next book in this series.

Courage and curiousity

The heroine is smart, sassy, and determined to make her own luck in a small town where she can live quietly and under the radar. But mysteries and secrets threaten her new job and relationships. Can she find her magic in time to manifest her wishful hopes for her future? Just ask the black cat that is willing to act as an ally in a most surprising way!

Bait & Witch

The storyline seemed quite familiar to others in which the protagonist learns that she was born a witch but her powers are realized as the story progresses. The main character is a whistleblower on the run. She has accepted a position as the town’s Librarian in a small rural Oregon town after working in D.C.’s Library of Congress.The concept of the story is that she & a co-worker overheard a conversation they weren’t supposed to hear regarding a corrupt U.S. Senator & now she is running for her life, hoping she can remain anonymous in the middle of nowhere. The storyline & characters are interesting enough that I would give Book 2 a try.

Good cat. Good supporting characters.

It was painful to endure the stupidity of main character, as she threw away her own power. And it was disturbing how she bought into her mother’s false vision to excuse suppressing her own magic. The historic audio files were good, but the wisdom seemed useless as the main character ignored the info to hold on to her mother’s errors. I hope that in subsequent books the main character is not so tediously slow.

Cozy and Sweet

Small town mystery with many twists and turns will grab your attention from the beginning and take you on a lovely journey. Thank you, Angela Sanders.

wonderful book

this book was so interesting and has a bit of everything... mystery, intrigue, love, friendship and a library.
