If you ask me to list my favorite ten authors, Carolyn Ridder Aspenson would be on that list. I have read many of her books and not once have I been disappointed. I often find myself surprised by loving the book so much. How does she do that? Reading this book, I knew this was going to be one of those times.
I adore this series. The town of Holiday Hills is the town I most wish existed. The characters in this book are mostly fun. I especially love the familiars. This is the third book in the series and each book just instantly transports me there. I have read these in order so it’s difficult for me to say if they can be read out of order. Most likely you could but why would you want to? This series is a true escape from reality! It has a bit of drama, a lot of comedy, a mystery to solve, (not all mysteries have to have a dead body), and amazing friendships.
In this book the mystery is in who is doing a bit of magic on the town and why. I was so thrilled to see Salem and the witch trials come up in the book in a respectful way. I have been obsessed with witch trials from all over the world but especially those in Salem since I was a preteen. We discussed them in a history class way back when history was an important part of schooling. After that, I took out every book I could find on the subject. Some books are better than others with a few being roll my eyes silly and disrespectful. I was very happy to see the treatment it received in this book. Interesting and respectful, the storyline involving it is one I hope is kept alive in this series.
Abby’s loyalty to her best friend is tested in this book. A friendship that was lost is part of the mystery and solving it may bring an end to Abby and Stella’s friendship. Cooper also has a challenge as he must work with rats! If you have read the prior books you can imagine Cooper’s joy at this turn of events. If you haven’t read the books Cooper has a very in tune with me level of sarcasm. I just love him to bits!
Go get this book and enjoy the afternoon or evening with it. Make a day of it and get all three books. We can all use the escape from reality by now. I know you will enjoy them so I really encourage you to grab them and plan the day around them.
*I borrowed a copy of this book through the Kindle Unlimited Program. I voluntarily wrote a review based on my enjoyment reading it. I gave it five stars because the author earned it by writing a book that made the hours fly by during a weekend that was a challenge for me. I hope you find the same level of enjoyment between its pages.* ( )

Who’s That Witch? By Carolyn Ridder Aspenson is the 3rd tale in The Holiday Hills Witch Cozy Mystery Series. I do recommend reading the series in order. I found myself lost in the beginning since I have not read the previous two books. I was able to pick up information on our main character and her friends as I got further into this amusing paranormal mystery. I found the story easy to read with quirky characters. My favorite character being Abby’s familiar, Cooper. I enjoyed his snarky and sassy comments. The mystery of who was behind the magical mischief was fun. I liked the humor in the story that kept it upbeat. There is some repetition of details and I wish the author hade provided Abby’s backstory at the beginning. Who’s That Witch? provides a great break from the everyday world. Clint Eastwood fans will find themselves chuckling over Prince Charming’s antics and lines. Who’s That Witch? is a merry tale with magic, mayhem, and mystery. ( )
