Darcy Merriweather is a wish crafter, who lives with
her aunt Ve, also a witch, while operating As You Wish.
Their concierge business serves as their home in the
Enchanted Village, a themed neighborhood of Salem,
Massachusetts. The Enchanted Village is usually a peaceful
place, but Darcy's best friend and fellow crafter, Starla's
ex-husband Kyle has reappeared, after escaping from jail
where he was sent when he attempted to strangle Starla two
years prior. Deeply in love with him at the time, Starla is
now scared for her life, due to his drastic change after
they'd been married only a short time. To confuse things,
only Starla can see Kyle, as he has obviously used one of
the invisibility spells.
When Kyle is found dead on Starla's couch, it takes all the
familiars (people who after death have returned as other
forms such as birds, mice, etc.) to help solve Starla's
case, especially Pepe the mouse. With direction from the
Elder on the magical forest, Darcy must become a snoop in
crime solving, and she takes her appointment as a sleuth to
heart.
THE GOODBYE WITCH is the second book I have had the
privilege to read by Heather Blake, and I found it equally
as exciting. The entire concept of witches, spells, and the
magical forest is certainly spellbinding. I love the many,
little talking characters that returned as familiars. Even
though the plot surrounds a murder, I found the tale to be
enchanting and humorous. THE GOODBYE WITCH is a delightful
read and will certainly keep the readers' attention. I will
definitely look for more works by Heather Blake, a very
talented author.
As Enchanted Village’s resident Wishcrafter, Darcy
Merriweather has the power to make other people’s wishes
come true, but what she really wishes is that she had the
power to uncloak the invisible man who’s stalking her best
friend....
Darcy’s closest friend and fellow witch, Starla Sullivan,
hoped she’d never see her ex-husband, Kyle, again. Two years
ago he tried to kill her, and he has been a fugitive ever
since. Now Starla claims to have seen him back in Enchanted
Village, but it seems she’s the only one who can see him. To
everyone else, her ex is invisible.
Darcy only wishes his motives were as transparent as the
rest of him. Since the police can’t arrest someone they
can’t see, it’s up to Darcy to find the secret behind Kyle’s
latest disappearing act—before he does something they can’t
see coming….
