Witchful Thinking

Witchful Thinking by Kristen Painter4th book in the Everlasting cozy mystery series. Each book stands alone by different authors with the town of paranormals in Maine in common.A novice witch is targeted by a witch hunter because she’s found a grimoire.A cute and often amusing mystery with just a smidge of romance. A really fun town with a great concept. I hope they continue the series so we can learn more about the residents. Especially the sheriff and the calendar deputies.I loved the beginn [...]

This is a delightful new series within the Happily Everlasting collaboration. The story is fun, a little quirky, and very entertaining. This book is full of interesting characters that I enjoyed getting to know. The more I read about Everlasting, the more it sounds like an interesting place to visit. Having said that, I hope there will be more of these characters, I really liked them. I received a copy of this book from the author, my review has been voluntarily submitted.

A break from her recent writing projects of Nocturne Falls and the Jayne Frost books, Kristen's Everlasting book is a fun read. I really enjoy the Nocturne Falls books, and like those, this book brings a bit of the super natural magic into our mundane human world. The story is well paced and the characters believable. Mild ViolenceMild RomanceNo CussingA good read for all ages, and I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series even if they aren't by Kristen.

Book Four of Happily Everlasting SeriesTitle: Witchful Thinking: A Cozy Paranormal MysteryAuthor: Kristen PainterCharacters: Charlotte and WalkerReview: Charlotte is a witch, although not a very good one. Walker hunts witches. Before either of them know it, they are fighting on the same side against the black magic. After reading all four books in this series, I am moving to Everlasting. The murder rate seems kinda high, but the people there would make the fun. Life is a gamble after all. Better [...]

I thought this was a fun read. The characters were great and the story was cute. I really love the name of the town too. I loved that Charlotte is a librarian. And I loved Walker! A fast and fun read. Highly recommend to any paranormal romance fans who like a bit of humor with their stories!

A really cute romance! A Kristen Painter story set in an all-new town --Everlasting, Maine-- with all-new characters, starring a novice witch and a leopard shifter. The story moved along briskly, with several plot twists that surprised me. I especially liked the way the romance developed. This book was fun and I really look forward to learning more about a town described as having a number of "unusual" residents!

This is the 4th installment of a new series, The Happily Everlasting Series. This installment is written by Kristen Painter, and the real reason why I started this series. I have not read any of the other books. This book is about a librarian, who is a novice witch. A mysterious book shows up at the library one day, and then the witch's world goes from boring and routine to dangerous in the blink of an eye. This book will keep you entertained; not wanting to put it down until the end.

I truly enjoy reading this series. Walker is sent to Everlasting to find a dark magic book by the Fraternal Order of Light. He gets the ''feeling'' that it is in the library where Charlotte works. When he is unable to find it there he goes about looking for it and happens to fall for Charlotte along the way. But does she have the book, if so is she a dark witch? Is she out to burn down the world? You are going to have to read this fabulous book to find these answers out for yourself. I am sure y [...]

Great new series! This story takes place in Everlasting, Maine. Charlotte, a witch, is being hunted by Walker, a witch hunter. Only she doesn’t know that. Walker is tracking a powerful grimoire that could be life changing (and not in a good way) if it falls in the wrong hands. But the hands it falls in is Charlotte’s, a sweet librarian with a surprising backbone. The story is a fun story, with lots of twists and turns as well as a delightful blooming romance.

Loved this book, the main characters (Charlotte and Walker) were a great match for each other and I loved Edgar Allen Charlottes cat . Great story and I think this will be a fun multi-author series!

A new series and town from Kristen Painter -- excellent. There is some dark magic being used by someone and the two main characters have to figure out who and if it is one of them. I enjoyed the book, not quite as much as Nocturne Falls, but I am looking forward to seeing how the town grows in personality and to meet all the crazy inhabitants.

No matter what this author writes I love it! Cozy mystery with a paranormal flair. A real page turner that has all the feels I look for in a great book. Enjoy!

This is a great addition to the series! I loved all the twists Kristen Painter provided for our reading enjoyment! I totally thought I had a characteristic pegged only to find out I was so wrong, (which isn't a very common occurrence for me.) It really held my attention, and I can't wait to see what's next in this literary world!

This is a collaboration project series situated in a world created jointly by several authors. Each author contributes a book, featuring new main characters and some recurring common side characters situated in the town of Everlasting. I did not read these books in order, so this was the first book I read from this series, and it is written by one of my favourite authors. The author is the reason I picked up this series in the first place. As I expected, it is a very nice paranormal romance and [...]

I loved Charlotte’s kind and practical nature, and her cat Edgar Allan reminded me of Garfield. Walker was charmingly comedic while trying to investigate and impress Charlotte-reading an historical romance AND discussing it intelligently is a win-win. My favorite funny was the intro to the sheriff and her nicknamed man-of-the month younger male deputies-such a hoot! The only word I can think of to describe this book is cute! It’s as advertised-a blend of paranormal, cozy mystery, and romance [...]

Welcome to Everlasting. 5 SPAMMY KISSESBooks were the way to her heart. He was definitely under her spell. The whole thing was just surreal. this decadent example of the male species Was stress-induced infatuation a thing? it was time to light this candle. The witch and the witch hunter. This was going to be fun. HOLD THE POE!!! Now THIS is one speCATacular book and then some! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book! This is my first time reading a Kristen Painter book - don't judge! We [...]

As will all my reviews there are no spoilers and no story recap. This book is written in the third person with no explicit language or sexual scenes with a HEA ending. This story is a fantasy romance with a ‘who done it’ mystery twist. This is one of four books, all written by different authors, taking place in the town of Everlasting. I have read all four and there is no particular reading order and no hint that the other stories are going on in the same town (though secondary characters ar [...]

Dark Magic can’t beat the true light of love.Witchful Thinking by Kristen Painter is the fourth but not final book in the Happily Everlasting Series, two of the other authors will be releasing their next installment soon. The story takes place in Everlasting, Maine a small town along the coast, “where there’s no such thing as normal.” OK, this book had me from the very beginning. I absolutely loved it. There is a dark underbelly side of Everlasting, Maine. It was so great to see the town [...]

As a fledgling witch, owning her own grimoire is a dream come true. But there’s something…mysterious about the book she just can’t figure out.Leopard shifter Walker Black knows what’s odd about the book.

Charlotte loves her job. Her boss not so much. Still, she gets to work in the library with her beloved books. That love draws her to rescue a book discarded in the trash. A beautiful old book.

Magically special she knows even being a novice witch.Walter, leopard shifter and protector from dark magic, knows all about this book. It's his duty to find it and the witch bonded with it.What he finds is not an [...]

This is my first time reading anything by this author, but it will not be my last and I will happily add her books to my TBR list. The fourth book set in the fictional town of Everlasting does not disappoint in its sweetness nor its supernatural intrigue. What happens when a novice witch/librarian, Charlotte, finds a book that looks tattered and dusty but then appears beautiful and new when she touches it with her bare hands? And just who is the handsome stranger, Walker Black, that has popped i [...]

She’s a librarian in her day job and gets a little thrill when a very special book of magic appears in the library one day. Walker is a leopard shifter and one of the good guys. He’s part of an organisation that finds and protects against evil. On the hunt for an evil artefact that has recently become available he tracks it to Charlotte.The mystery surrounding the book, [...]

The last book in a 4-books-series by 4 different authors. Each wrote with the author’s own unique way, all very compelling and intriguing. With a background of quaint (well, at least looked like it) small town, it was perfect for cosy mystery stories.Charlotte was a librarian, and a witch. Walker was a library regular, and a witch hunter. Walker sensed dark magic and hunted it. They seemed like opposite, yet they found themselves worked side-by-side to banish dark magic plaguing the town.The s [...]

I voluntarily received a free ARC copy of this book for review and here it is. This is the 4th installment of the Everlasting series and it was just as good as the first book in the series. With a few twists and turns and little bit of detective work the case has been solved. The characters were well thought out and fell in line with all the other books, and I look forward to more from all of the authors who compiled this series. Great reads. I highly recommend. They are funny, daring and out of [...]

Welcome to the town of Everlasting! This is a wonderful book by one of my favorite authors. Charlotte is a novice witch, and also a librarian. An odd looking book appears in the return chute one day. It looks really old. Only she can open it or see that it really has writing on it. It seems the book is a grimoire and has chosen her as it's new owner. However, there are others in search of this powerful book. Some with the right intentions and some wanting to use it for dark magic. There's a new [...]

This 4th book in the new multi author Happily Everlasting series is the first to be written by Kristen Painter and I'm happy to say it is up to the usual high standard of her other PNR. Well written, fun and easy to read this release works equally well when read as part of the series or as a stand alone novel. It has great characters, a nice plot and the right balance of romance and mystery for a book of this genre. I would recommend it to fans of her Nocturne Falls series and fans of the PNR/Co [...]

This was a really cute story that was fun to read.Charlotte Fenchurch is a novice witch, who for some reason a very powerful book chose her as its keeper. This book has extremely powerful spells that could end the world or cause multiple other problems. Walker Black is a leopard shifter and a which hunter that works for the Fellowship Of Light, or the FOL. He only hunts witches who are evil, and the articles that are powerful enough to be dangerous. The only downside to the story is it did not l [...]
