Description from the publisher:
What goes around comes around, so be careful who you bite.

It's September, which is a rainy month in Wisteria, and a storm is brewing.

When a magic mechanic takes The Big Nap in a comfy chair at the library, suspicion turns to the local librarian witch. What has Zara Riddle done now? Poisoned the guy for talking too loud? She shrugs off the accusations, as usual, and tries to help with the investigation, also as usual.

But this time around, the local vampire detective isn't swinging by Zara's house to take her along for the ride. He may be Zara's boyfriend after hours, but when it comes to solving crimes, he has a new partner. For Zara, dealing with "that girl" is like getting turned into a cat, then being petted backward, from tail to nose. It's just wrong!

Worst of all, the town's new ghost is becoming an international celebrity, attracting outsiders and media attention.

Once the library is overrun by a horde of ghost hunters, Zara and her coven attempt to resolve the haunting. Can the motley crew of witches actually cooperate in the face of imminent danger? Or will they succumb to dark forces?

In the end, Zara will find herself caught in the middle of a battle she never expected, much less wanted.

Friends turn to foes, and foes turn to frenemies in book 10 of the hit Wisteria Witches Mysteries series, Wishful Wisteria.

The lovely Angela Pepper emailed me with my audio code, but told me “No rush to listen/review.  Take your time.  It will be a couple of months before book 11 comes out.”  Oh, right… that’s like saying, “here’s this lovely chocolate cheesecake, but you don’t have to eat it right away.  No worries.  Any time is fine.”  Wisteria ALWAYS moves to the top of my what-am-I-listening-to-next.  I pounced on this and I’ll worry about when I’ll see another slice of cheesecake (another Wisteria witch) later.

WISHFUL WISTERIA is the tenth book in the Wisteria Witches series.  Though each could probably stand alone, I recommend them all so why not read them in the order of release.

Since my fiancé loves those ghost-hunting type of shows, this story gave me even more of a chuckle.  I could imagine any number of the semi-empathic, drama-driven divas descending on the Wisteria Library just for a chance to exploit the newest ghost in town.

Zara’s family situation becomes more complicated, but it opens the door for more experiences in the Wisteria World.

I love all of the different types of characters – witches, shifters, sprites, trolls, etc. – making for a colorful cast and exciting life in a magical town.

Putting this to the top of my TBR list was not a mistake.  As always, spending time in Wisteria is a joy that makes the drive time fly (and my desire to leave the car & enter the workplace even harder than usual).  In a perfect world, there would be enough Wisteria books to have a new audiobook every week – after all I have a lot of commute to cover!

Narration:  Tiffany Williams did another beautiful job creating the Wisteria world.  She is the voice of Zinnia, Zara, Zoey, Frank, and the rest of my favorite characters.
