What's a girl to do when she's a broke, shunned ex-witch with a very tiny, very hungry bat familiar named Belfry to feed?
Hello. My name is Stevie Cartwright, and I've been witchless for thirty days.
If only there was a support group for down-on-their-luck ex-witches who've had their powers slapped right out of them (literally). Just as I was licking my wounds after returning to my hometown of Ebenezer Falls, WA, and navigating my suddenly non-magical existence with the help of my familiar, the only friend I have left in the world—things got sticky.
Enter an ex-spy and newly departed spirit named Winterbottom, who's infiltrated my life with his sexy British accent and a couple of requests...
Thanks to Belfry's successful attempt to use me as a human antenna to the afterlife, I can somehow hear Win. I should be ecstatic; helping departed souls used to be my witch specialty. It's like I got the teensiest piece of my old life back. Except Win's dropped me right at a dead woman's feet.
Madam Zoltar, the town's beloved fake medium, has been murdered, and Win wants me to catch the killer.
My old life won't be worth much if it gets me whacked before my new life has barely begun--and that seems to be exactly what the killer has planned!
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.

My Thoughts:
This book started off a little bit slow for me. It did pick up further into the story so I did end up enjoying it.I loved Belfry! He was the most unique familiar I have ever read about. Most witches have cats but I really enjoyed this unique twist. Since it is such a fun twist, I will let you read the book to find out what her familiar is.
I also loved the banter between Stevie, Belfry and Win. Another thing I loved was how much "air time" Win got in the book. A lot of authors add ghosts but they don't always get much of a part in the story. Win was a central and very important part of this story.
My favorite part was that I didn't solve the mystery. Usually I figure out who did it but not this time. Overall, a very fun cozy mystery.
