Description from the publisher:
"Oh, good. Not a problem. I'll
invoke the Gods of Pilates. I'm sure they'd be happy to help. Hang on just one
sec while I dial them up. Oh, wait. I can't. Know why I can't? Because my hands
are tied behind my back with zip ties, Win!"
A rib-tickling cozy mystery complete with an ex-witch, a dead British spy, a cotton ball bat and a cast of suspects that will keep you guessing right up to the end! Witch Slapped from USA Today bestselling author Dakota Cassidy is book one in her new cozy mystery series Witchless in Seattle. Join the hunt for a murderer with Stevie, Winterbottom, and Belfry in a race against time as the local police prepare an eight by ten cell for our intrepid ex-witch.
What's a girl to do when she's a broke, shunned ex-witch with a very tiny, very hungry bat familiar named Belfry to feed?
Hello. My name is Stevie Cartwright, and I've been witchless for thirty days.
If only there was a support group for down-on-their-luck ex-witches who've had their powers slapped right out of them (literally). Just as I was licking my wounds after returning to my hometown of Ebenezer Falls, WA, and navigating my suddenly non-magical existence with the help of my familiar, the only friend I have left in the world--things got sticky.
Enter an ex-spy and newly departed spirit named Winterbottom, who's infiltrated my life with his sexy British accent and a couple of requests...
Thanks to Belfry's successful attempt to use me as a human antenna to the afterlife, I can somehow hear Win. I should be ecstatic; helping departed souls used to be my witch specialty. It's like I got the teensiest piece of my old life back. Except Win's dropped me right at a dead woman's feet.
Madam Zoltar, the town's beloved fake medium, has been murdered, and Win wants me to catch the killer.
My old life won't be worth much if it gets me whacked before my new life has barely begun--and that seems to be exactly what the killer has planned!
Content Notes: This cozy mysteries women sleuth series has a complete cast of oddball characters from witches to ghosts and bats to psychics. Witchless in Seattle Mysteries is a spin-off of Dakota Cassidy's popular Paris, Texas Romance Series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WITCH SLAPPED is the first in the
Witchless in Seattle series. They do
need to be read in the order of release, not because of a continuing story, but
because of references to previous happenings.
Stevie, the witch… or should I say
ex-witch… is a hoot, but her bat, Belfry is the star. The banter between them is enough to keep a
smile etched on my face despite the murder they are trying to solve while
keeping Stevie out of jail and alive. Add
in Winterbottom, a British spy who has become a ghost, and the quips really
begin to fly.
I loved this story so much, that I have
already listened to it three times and I’ll be pushing “play” again real
soon. This one is safe to listen to at
work, so that’s where I listened while doing my data entry. Luckily, I work with a man who respects my
space enough to allow this indulgence. I
only wish I had more of the series (hint, hint for anyone thinking of
Christmas).
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted Audible
