Wishful Wisteria

Wisteria Witches Mysteries, Book 10

By: Angela Pepper

Narrated by: Tiffany Williams

What goes around comes around, so be careful who you bite.

It's September, which is a rainy month in Wisteria, and a storm is brewing.

When a magic mechanic takes The Big Nap in a comfy chair at the library, suspicion turns to the local librarian witch. What has Zara Riddle done now? Poisoned the guy for talking too loud? She shrugs off the accusations, as usual, and tries to help with the investigation, also as usual.

But this time around, the local vampire detective isn't swinging by Zara's house to take her along for the ride. He may be Zara's boyfriend after hours, but when it comes to solving crimes, he has a new partner. For Zara, dealing with "that girl" is like getting turned into a cat, then being petted backward, from tail to nose. It's just wrong!

Worst of all, the town's new ghost is becoming an international celebrity, attracting outsiders and media attention.

Once the library is overrun by a horde of ghost hunters, Zara and her coven attempt to resolve the haunting. Can the motley crew of witches actually cooperate in the face of imminent danger? Or will they succumb to dark forces?

In the end, Zara will find herself caught in the middle of a battle she never expected, much less wanted.

Friends turn to foes, and foes turn to frenemies in book 10 of the hit Wisteria Witches Mysteries series, Wishful Wisteria.

Wishful Wisteria is book three in the Daybreak mini-series trilogy (Wardens of Wisteria, Wisteria Warned, Wishful Wisteria), and the 10th book set in the world of the Wisteria Witches Mysteries. The main character is Zara Riddle, and as of publication, it is the latest on the world's timeline!

Love love love

The further I go the more I need to know more. The exciting thing about a new series you just can’t stop reading is the thought that this is going to end. I still have sometime but for now I’m enjoying the ride.

Fun Snarky Cozy Witch Mystery Series

The mystery, snarky, sass continues in this really fun YA cozy sketchy mystery. This book starts out with Zara and her boyfriend the detective (newly created vampire) investigating a new murder with the body being found this time in the library, and there's a new black fox shifter in town. The narration is perfect and so entertaining that it kept me up late (actually early into the morning hours) to finish it.

** Quick parental warning - 17+ readers, this story has some sexual attraction, the relationship has heated up, there are plenty of insinuations. Although, there are no sex scenes due to the "door" being closed pretty quickly and is kept very clean.

A NEW CELEBRITY GHOST IN TOWN

The lovely Angela Pepper emailed me with my audio code, but told me “No rush to listen/review. Take your time. It will be a couple of months before book 11 comes out.” Oh, right… that’s like saying, “here’s this lovely chocolate cheesecake, but you don’t have to eat it right away. No worries. Any time is fine.” Wisteria ALWAYS moves to the top of my what-am-I-listening-to-next. I pounced on this and I’ll worry about when I’ll see another slice of cheesecake (another Wisteria witch) later.

WISHFUL WISTERIA is the tenth book in the Wisteria Witches series. Though each could probably stand alone, I recommend them all so why not read them in the order of release.

Since my fiancé loves those ghost-hunting type of shows, this story gave me even more of a chuckle. I could imagine any number of the semi-empathic, drama-driven divas descending on the Wisteria Library just for a chance to exploit the newest ghost in town.

Zara’s family situation becomes more complicated, but it opens the door for more experiences in the Wisteria World.

I love all of the different types of characters – witches, shifters, sprites, trolls, etc. – making for a colorful cast and exciting life in a magical town.

Putting this to the top of my TBR list was not a mistake. As always, spending time in Wisteria is a joy that makes the drive time fly (and my desire to leave the car & enter the workplace even harder than usual). In a perfect world, there would be enough Wisteria books to have a new audiobook every week – after all I have a lot of commute to cover!

Narration: Tiffany Williams did another beautiful job creating the Wisteria world. She is the voice of Zinnia, Zara, Zoey, Frank, and the rest of my favorite characters.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Replete with Riveting Riddle Revelations

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
After the bombshell dropped at the end of the last book, time moves forward and the Riddle women are both dealing with the recent the changes in their lives, positive and negative.
We’ve gotten to know a lot more of the mysteries of Wisteria and the Riddle family but there are more secrets unfolding. Zara is surrounded by supernatural family and friends
This volume is packed with the characteristic humor, heart and haunting mysteries that the series is known for. You will be chortling with laughter, gasping at twists and have your heart warmed by reunions and new relationships formed. We see more overlap between the different series seen in Wisteria including some welcome new additions. This volume ends on a very positive note and one feels the series drawing to a close. Not yet. This is not the epic conclusion but it does make me already miss my visits to this small community full of witches, ghosts, shapeshifters, sprites and more.
Tiffany Williams is back and once again elevates narration beyond merely reading to giving a lively performance that brings each characters unique voice to life.
Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Wisteria.

Wishful Wisteria

Things get turned upside down in Wisteria. Zara is not sure who is a friend or foe. Especially when a newly discovered young witch, that overpowers Zara. And a few new paranormals come out to Zara. Which is so exciting finally getting to the bottom of if they are or are not. For me this series never gets old or boring. I love each new adventure this crew goes on each book has something new and exciting. Fantastic narration.
