What a great second installment! Our favorite Witch Librarian is back in Seven Year Witch (the second book in the Witch Way Librarian Mysteries) surrounded by her feline familiar sleuthing partner, quirky townspeople, magic and of course…murder! 4/5⭐️

This was a decent book, on par with the first one, the characters lack depth for me, and I'm slightly confused as to whether she becomes Rodney or controls him and can see through his eyes. Idk, the description seemed like a bit of both when she found the knife. I keep reading these bc I love Josies relationship with the books, they way they talk to hear! I love the magic in these books, but the story lines themselves feel like they are just lacking for me to say I love the book in its entirety. On to the next one, nonetheless!

Really like the witchy vibes, small town setting and Rodney (the black cat)... Josie is solid and I don't mind her relationship with Sam

Instant intrigue. Slightly disappointed by the ending, but overall the mystery was well executed and the cat's inclusion was cute and appreciated. Not sure how I feel about the magical lore, but it was unique and I enjoyed the read.

This one was okay. Not my favorite cozy, but not the worst I have read. I really loved the magic books angle, and the mystery was well plotted and kept me guessing. It also had a good cast of likable characters. I'll definitely pick up the next book in the series. That said, the main issue I had with it was the whole "SAM" chaos. That whole situation (and Sam himself) was way too messy for a cozy mystery. Which wouldn't have been an issue if the author didn't have Josie drooling over him constantly. I also wasn't a huge fan of how it ended either. And just to be extra nitpicky (this didn't affect my rating), but what about the baby situation? There must be some type of legality involved in such a situation?
