Review:


Josephine works at the Library of the Congress, a day during her lunch break she overhears a shady deal between two men so after she reported it to the authorities she decides to go on the run. She is lucky enough to get a job as librarian in an Oregon little town, but when she arrives she soon understands that her life won't be quiet as she expected, with books that speal to her and the discovery of a dead body near her new house.

I wanted to try something new and I decided to try to read some cozy mystries books, and what's better than start a new genre with reading the first book in a new series? I tell you, nothing.

I've really enjoyed Bait And Witch, it was such a nice read that kept my attention all through.

I loved the magic element and how our heroine discovers her magic powers slowly and gradually.

Angela M. Sanders depicted her characters really well, especially the towners that seem all friendly but every single one of them keeps a secret from the others.

The mystery is intriguing and very well developped, you won't solve it until the author wants you to.

I wish I can read soon Josie's next adventure.
