Gone With the Witch Wishcraft Mystery Heather Blake Books

At this point, I'll buy whatever Heather Blake is selling. My gateway to her storytelling was her run of Wishcraft cozy mysteries. From there, I've gone on to her Magic Potion books and even her other mysteries - that she penned as Heather Webber - featuring psychic Lucy Valentine and landscapist Nina Quinn. But I think I'll always hold Wishcraft to a higher pedestal.

Gone With the Witch is sixth in the Wishcraft series, and it's one more marvelous read. Anyway, for Darcy Merriweather, it's been an eventful first year in the Enchanted Village, that touristy, themed neighborhood nestled in historical Salem, Massachusetts. In the Enchanted Village, Darcy and her sister Harper, Ohio transplants, have finally found a place to belong. They're both witches, they found this out a year ago - witches or, as they're called around these here parts, Crafters. Darcy is a wishcrafter, born with the ability to grant wishes, providing they're phrased correctly and uttered with pure intent. This ability occasionally comes in handy at As You Wish, a much in-demand personal concierge service that she and her Aunt Ve operate.

Turns out, Darcy also has a knack for solving mysteries. She's so adept at it that the village's mystic governess, the Elder, has designated her as the official investigator in cases that involve magic. You should also know that the Enchanted Village is populated by both Crafters and normals, except that the normals remain oblivious to the existence of witches. There, that should catch the newbies up some.

Gone With the Witch opens with Darcy's behing hired to look into shady happenings at the Pawsitively Enchanted Pet Extravaganza. The founder and organizer of this annual contest, Ivy Teasdale, suspects that, for two years running now, a certain someone has deliberately sabotaged her fellow competitors' pets' chances to win. Cue, then, the fun sequence (Chapters 3-5) in which Darcy goes "undercover" at the event, having at the last minute frantically decorated her own booth and entered her cute dog, Missy, in the "Easy on the Eyes" category. If you're a pet lover, then you'll be all in with this book simply for the author's lighthearted description of the minutiae of this event alone.

As if Darcy doesn't have her hands full enough, the village is also suddenly plagued with a rash of pet-napping.

And, of course, a corpse turns up.

So, present are all the elements that make Heather Blake such a good read. The character work. How likable these characters are (even Glinda Hansel is growing on me), and how their story arcs keep on progressing. Plenty of red herrings and a mystery to which the writer introduces a neat swerve or two. But, really, the topper for me is that thing that happens near the end. It's something that only has a peripheral attachment to the crime mystery at hand, but it was so monumental that it quickly shoved the murder stuff all the way to the rear view for this reader and, I guarantee, for you, as well. Darcy is awesome as usual. And, as usual, I wish like heck I lived in a place as dope as the Enchanted Village.

Gone With the Witch Wishcraft Mystery Heather Blake Books Reviews

4.5 Stars

Gone With the Witch was another wonderful addition to the Wishcraft series that had a great mystery that left me guessing until the end. There were, also, a couple of BIG reveals, one which got me a bit teary eyed. One of my favorite parts of the book was the addition of Cookie the Nigerian Dwarf goat. (I have several dwarf goats of my own and they are adorable little animals.) I hope she'll pop up again in future books.

Heather Blake is one of the few authors on my 'auto-buy' list. Nobody does paranormal cozy mysteries like her. I've already preordered the next book, The Witch and the Dead, and can't wait to read it!
Darcy is hired to watch for suspicious activity during the upcoming annual pet contest. She is specifically tasked with keeping track of Natasha, because her client thinks she may have sabotaged events in previous contests. But Darcy certainly doesn't expect murder to become part of the event. Feeling like she could have prevented this, Darcy is determined to continue her investigation. But in the meantime, she is getting anxious about learning the identity of the Elder...she will shortly be part of the community for one year, and entitled to be told this secret. This is the 6th book in the Wishcraft series and contains all the familiar characters, moving forward in several relationships and learning more about the Craft. I also loved the addition of Titania. I enjoy this series and now that the identity of the Elder is resolved, I look forward to the next book in this series.
Heather Blake is one of those authors whose books I pre-order the second I know they're available. Why? Her combination of unique, well-written characters, settings I want to go live in myself, and true LOL moments never disappoints.

Gone With the Witch is no different. Darcy Merriweather knows right away that she should have turned down the job of keeping tabs on one of the contestants at The Pawsitively Enchanted Pet Extravaganza. Sure enough, as soon as she lets Natasha out of her site, Natasha winds up dead. We follow along with Darcy as navigates the web of solving Natasha's murder (plus the mystery of some disappearing pets). Along the way we get to see some great relationship developments with several characters, the progress on her new As You Wish building, and the ever-present witty banter from the awesome side character cast including Archie, Pepe, Godfrey, etc.

Readers of the previous Wishcraft books will be happy to finally learn the identity of the Elder. I've guessed who she was for the past two books (thanks to one big clue in The Goodbye Witch), so it was awesome to finally see Darcy figure it out.

As sad as I am to not be getting a Heather Blake Potion Mystery book this fall, I'm stoked that we get an extra Wishcraft book. I can't wait to see Darcy navigate these new elements and to also see what happens with some of the foreshadowed events mentioned in the last chapter. (Can you tell I'm trying hard to be vague and not spoil anything? haha!)
Petstravaganza is coming and Marcy of As You Wish is asked to keep an eye on things as one contestant is suspected of sabotage. But when that person drops dead to poison and animals start being petnapped, it may take more than a little wishing magic to unravel this mystery before she ends up on the short end of a leash.

This series has not disappointed since book one and the magic is still there. The characters are still as enjoyable and the situations that Marcy ends up in are both funny and suspenseful (from a run in with a pygmy goat, to a miscast spell that caused streaks in her hair, to helping Glinda expose a cheating spouse). The list of suspects was small, but the real culprit you did not expect until the end. And there is a big reveal at the end that I will not spoil, but it was worth the wait. I cannot wait until the next book in October to see what new things may happen.
At this point, I'll buy whatever Heather Blake is selling. My gateway to her storytelling was her run of Wishcraft cozy mysteries. From there, I've gone on to her Magic Potion books and even her other mysteries - that she penned as Heather Webber - featuring psychic Lucy Valentine and landscapist Nina Quinn. But I think I'll always hold Wishcraft to a higher pedestal.
