Ophelia, Abby and Tink travel to the mountains of North
Carolina to celebrate the one hundredth birthday of Great-
Aunt Mary. Ophelia hopes the only conflict she's going to
have to deal with involves her mother or the ever-
formidable Great-Aunt Mary, but no sooner do they arrive
than strange things begin to happen. Abby seems to go into
a decline after discovering a rattlesnake in the house, and
it's soon apparent an evil from the past is making its
presence known. Mix in malicious neighbor Sharon Doran, and
Ophelia is forced to further embrace the abilities she's
just beginning to accept.
THE SEVENTH WITCH, Shirley Damsgaard's seventh
Ophelia and Abby mystery, is in turns scary, heartwarming
and humor-filled, taking the reader on an adventure that
makes this book hard to put down. The warmth of the family
unit is charming and the message of standing together in
the face of adversity strong. Ophelia's acceptance of her
power and her willingness to stand up to others, both
family and outsiders, is a testament to the love she feels
for her grandmother. This is the first of this series I've
read, and while it stands alone as a well-written mystery,
I definitely recommend new readers start with the first
story to fully appreciate Ophelia's journey to become a
powerful witch.
Small-town librarian and psychic Ophelia Jensen hails from a
long line of wise and wonderfully gifted women. There's her
grandmother, Abby, a talented witch, and her great-aunt
Mary, who's about to celebrate her 100th birthday. But as
Ophelia learns, when she and Abby travel to North Carolina
for the centennial celebration, their family secrets aren't
just magickal—they're murderous.
Someone in the sweet Southern town wants Abby dead. Could it
be a rogue witch in Ophelia's own family? A vengeful local
witch desperate to settle a bitter feud decades in the
making? Ophelia must use all her talents to save her loved
ones—before the witching hour comes upon them, and bad blood
turns deadly.
