     Witch Inheritance: Lexie’s heritage has caught up with her. It’s time to face her obligations to the coven and take on a job she didn’t even apply for, one which leads her straight to danger where she tackles a deadly fog and a new penchant for sipping champagne and wearing haute couture. Witch Indeed: Mackenzie Coven rule number one. Do not lose your cat. Lexie has been asked to attend a prestigious feline extravaganza at Chelsea Manor. The task is simple enough. Represent the coven, get herself and Luna, the cat which has as yet to decide if she’ll stay with her or not, there in one piece, meaning… no more crash-landing or leaving bits and pieces of Luna behind. Lexie figures the rest will be simple enough until she realizes she’s crash landed in a room with a dead man in it - a man who’d had a fascination for stuffed cats. There are only a handful of guests attending this exclusive feline soiree and they all have their eyes on Luna, but one of them also has blood on their hands. If they killed once, they’ll kill again. Witch Cast: Fool her once… fool her twice… This will be the third time... Lexie can’t believe she’s been roped into performing her coven duty. Literally. She’ll be on the stage, the one place she’s been avoiding all her life. If her abysmal acting skills don’t get her killed, surely mentioning the name Macbeth inside the revamped Garland Theater will. ***** Just lovely! Take one witch in training and send her to a mansion where only wonderful happy things happen..... but wait. There is a dark malevolent " being" that is controlling everyone and it is up to Lexie to dispose of it and bring peace and happiness back to the family. Quite a lot for a fledgling witch to handle even with invisible help. Ms. T ***** Even better than the first book! This is a fun series so far! Gonna get the next book immediately so that I can see what happens next. Funny situations and great characters kept me entertained to the end. Well done! Mickey ***** Another good, clean, FUN, magical adventure story I love the character development, the plot and the writing style. It is imaginative and very entertaining reading. I look forward to more. Patricia A. Parsons
