Darcy Merriweather and her sister, Harper, hail from a long line of witches who have the power to grant wishes using spells. They've come to Enchanted Village in Salem, Massachusetts, to join the family business, but they soon find themselves knee deep in murder...

Until three weeks ago, Darcy and Harper were working dead-end jobs and trying to put their troubles behind them. Then their aunt Velma delivered a bombshell: They're actually Wishcrafters - witches with the power to grant wishes with a mere spell. Wanting a fresh start, they head to their aunt's magic-themed tourist town to master their newfound skills.

But their magic fails them when a wannabe witch turns up dead - strangled with Aunt Ve's scarf - and Ve's sweetheart, Sylar, is found looming over the body. Ve is standing by her man, but Darcy overheard Skylar wish that the victim would disappear - forever. With Harper distracted by her handsome new crush, Darcy is determined to sleuth her way to the truth. But it'll take more than a wish to unravel this mystery....

It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake is the first book in Ms. Blake’s new paranormal cozy mystery series called A Wishcraft Mystery.

Can Darcy figure out who killed Alexandra Shively?

Darcy Merriweather

Darcy Merriweather is a thirty-year-old woman that had a lot of bad things happen to her way too many times. The first one was when she was little, and her mom died on the same day that her younger sister Harper was born. The second one was when she got divorced. And the last one was when her dad died four months ago of the timeframe in the book. She is trying to work at her aunt’s business called As You Wish.

What I like about Darcy is that she is a relatable main character. I love how she is trying to learn the craft since she is new to the craft and unique to the village. Another thing that I like about her is that Darcy tries to do what is right. Like, help her aunt in helping Sylar.

The Mystery

The mystery in this book is about who had the most motive for killing Alexandra Shively. That brings a bunch of suspects and having to help one villager. That villager happens to be Sylar, her aunt’s beau, and it is a lot of work, especially since Darcy is new on solving these types of crimes.

Five Stars

It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake is a fantastic book, and I gave this book five stars. The reason for that is because I love it very much and it is perfect. I will recommend this book to anyone that likes this genre. Heather Blake is a fantastic author, even if this is the first book that I read of hers, and she has characters that seem so real that I feel like I could be in Enchanted Village and want to be in all of their lives. The reason for that is because they are all good, and everyone in the village seems so incredible.
