Description from the publisher:

Juliette is a good witch. Really. Her name is literally Juliette Good. Apologies for the redundancy. Good witch or not, she often ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Returning home to Charm Cove, Maine after the holidays, she makes a nostalgic wish in the town’s fountain.

As unfortunate luck would have it, seconds later the town’s ancient beloved balsam tree catches fire and is burned to a crisp. By virtue of being a witness, Juliette is also a suspect.

Suddenly, wishes cast by random strangers in the fountain are granted almost instantly if Juliette happens to be nearby. In the less magical realm, residents of Charm Cove are up in arms over winter road maintenance and a few too many fender benders during the icy winter.

Meanwhile, the only other person known to be present when the ancient balsam tree caught fire is Donovan Wick—a warlock who’s just moved back to town. He’s handsome and charming, and Juliette just might be falling for him.

There’s not much time for romance when the witches and warlocks of Charm Cove are chasing down whoever cast the spell that harmed the tree, and the entire town is disgruntled over the state of the roads. The mundane and magical are all tangled together.

Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there’s almost always more than meets the eye.

WISH UPON A WITCH is the first book in the This Good Witch Mystery series.  I believe it will be best if the books are read in the order of release in the series.



This is the first book I have read from Lucy May.  After I finished reading, I discovered that this series is a spin-off of the Wicked Good Mystery Series.  Where Wicked Good had an over-arcing storyline regarding the relationship between Liam and Moira, This Good Witch Mystery Series is going to be about Juliette and Donovan.  You do not need to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but I now have them on my wish list.



Every cozy mystery series eventually has the hero and/or heroine accused of the crime.  I like that that was taken care of (and dismissed) within the first few chapters.



Sweet romance and a cozy mystery all wrapped together in one wonderfully spell-binding story.  This was wonderful!



I love the unique powers of the witches and the fun storyline.  I’m looking forward to more from this series.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
