I'm absolutely shocked. I've now read several \"cozy\" books, and each has had it's flaws. But it usually revolves around lack of interesting or intense character personalities or stakes that are just too low. They aren't bad, per say, just not great either.

The supporting characters were enjoyable and I liked their positive personal achievements brought about by their association with the kitchen witch. Fun and fabulous read! ) One person found this helpful

I devoured all 3 House Witch books in under a week. They made me laugh and cry and unlike so many books today I had no idea what was going to happen next. They are truly a fun, charming series and I can’t wait until the new book is published.

In those instances the author was describing someone but didn’t want to state the sex so used them or...
