Tess Lake

I started this series out, feeling kind of "meh" about the first book. When that's the case, I usually won't pick up the next book in the series, but something told me to keep going. Sure enough, book 2 was better, and so on and so on, and I was hooked. Now I have reached the end, and I am a little sad, like saying goodbye to someone you've known awhile. At the same time, I'm pleased that the author did not choose to drag a series out far more than it needed to go, and gave this one proper closure.

I hope that we will be seeing a new cast of characters in a new series in the near future.… (mais)

Never heard of a slip witch before, but it sounds like pain to be one. As far as the butter carving contest, while I'm used to them here in northern climes, it seems more than odd for the mid-Atlantic states. Beyond that stuff, it was a hilarious romp of mystery and a dysfunctional family of witches. The publisher's blurb gives some clues without spoilers.
I was fortunate to get the audio edition, and Natalie Duke was great as the audio performer, with a pleasant voice and ease of characterization.
