Publisher's 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' 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5/5 I can't wait for book 2

The Characters are well developed, and the Setting is interesting and inviting. I will not spoil this excellent story But I will suggest everyone listen to it. It's that well written. And Rebecca Mitchell's performance and narration just brought it to life. BRAVO!
I will be getting Book 2 as soon as it's out.
