Summary

Welcome to Eternal Springs, home to more than a 1,000 “normal” people and four feisty witches. Just a tip, the witches are more fun.

Especially Skye Thornton, an air witch about town who would rather be on the mainland than a touristy island that’s home to four climate zones and a gaping hole under the local school that allows monsters to creep through and wreak havoc on the community.

A reporter, Skye likes to be in the thick of things - she’s a busybody and proud of it - until she quite literally trips over a dead body at the island resort. In quick order, she finds herself fighting off monsters while trying to discover one of the human variety.

Since she can’t keep clear of trouble, Skye is determined to track down a murderer, fight off a wishing well beast, and stay away from a local security chief who she’s always hated… or has she?

It’s a full slate of activity for Skye and her witchy friends. The laughs and insults will be flying fast and furious. Of course, so will the danger.

Look out world, here come four witches with attitude, and they’re not taking any prisoners.

Promising Setup but Recycled Heroine

Anyone familiar with the author's Avery Shaw books will recognize Skye as Avery Shaw - she even has the same job.

Adding magical powers, a different setting, and giving her a different name doesn't disguise her.

The overal concept has promise - a Paranormal Mystery series where four women, sentenced to remain and secretly protect a resort island from potential incursions of Evil Magical Nasties due to an incident they didn't prevent when they were at school there. Murders happen and are investgated... sounds good to me.

I suspect, however, this is the start of one of THOSE series where each of the four main characters has the Exact Same Thing happen to them because the four authors sat down and agreed a strict formula that each of the books must stick to. I could be wrong but...

If this first book is any indication, that bane of the Paranormal Mystery genre is included in the series formula, so will feature heavily in all the books - Romance with an UNBELIEVABLY HOT MAN... {gack!}. If the romance in this book is anything to go by, it's a big element of the series, treated without subtlety, and in danger of overwealming the Mystery element.

I'd be very happy to be proved wrong, but don't have any expectation that I will be.
