An excellently witchy read! Even better than the first book in the series! Full of yearning and suspense, I want to continue the next book immediately.

I really loved this first book in a new to my series and author. I can't wait to read the next one. The characters and location really add to the plot. This book keeps you guessing until the end.

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I really enjoyed reading it the plot was interesting and the characters made me want to know more about them. I highly recommend.

I did not wait long to jump into the second book of the Witch Way Librarian series featuring Josie Way. In Seven-Year Witch, Josie is still exploring her newfound magical abilities, learning from letters here grandmother had left behind for her, each letter a new lesson. The letters seem to correspond to real life events in Josie's life--and the latest letter is about curses.

Plans to build a retreat center at an old mill site in town are underway, but there are rumors it is cursed. When the ex-wife of Sam Wilfred, a descendant of the town's founders, goes missing and the mill's project's architect is found dead, people start to wonder if the curse is more than a rumor. Sam is the number one suspect, but Josie doesn't believe he is involved. Josie puts her magic and logic to use to get to the bottom of what happened and save Sam's good name.

My favorite cozies are ones with a paranormal element; add in a bookish setting and I'm in cozy mystery heaven. The way the books respond to Josie is one of the aspects that make this series so unique. I was transported back to Wilfred, Oregon and into the lives of Josie Way and her feline familiar, Rodney, in Seven-Year Witch. This novel takes us a little deeper into the history of Wilfred and also into Sam's complicated life. Josie has a good heart and will do anything to help her friends. The mystery is more center stage in this novel and the climax is quite suspenseful.

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for a good cozy mystery. This series is just fun and quirky enough to make you laugh and want to read more. I love the wit and library that seems to come to life!

Adorable little cozy mystery that will keep you entertained and intrigued until the very end. I loved trying to guess the plot in the story in the culprit and overall had a great time reading it I would highly recommend this if you’re into cozy mysteries of any sort and want a quick escape from the real world.

Cute story!

Description
Finding your feet in a new job isn't always easy. That goes double for Josie Way, who's settling in as Wilfred, Oregon's, new librarian--and has just discovered she's a witch. But will her fledgling powers be enough to save her from a spell of murder?

While Josie develops her witchcraft with the help of letters left by her grandmother, there are other changes happening in her new hometown. A retreat center is being built at the old mill site, and rumor has it that the location is cursed. That piques Josie's interest almost as much as Sam Wilfred, handsome FBI agent and descendent of the town's founder...

When Sam's soon-to-be ex-wife, Fiona, goes missing at the same time that a bloodied weapon is found, Josie enlists her witchy insight, and her cat familiar, to clear Sam's name. But then the mill project's architect is found dead, and it's clear that someone has been drawing up a vicious plan. Now Josie will have to divine her way out of fatal mischief, before this deadly trouble turns double...

Praise for Angela M. Sanders’ Bait and Witch

“Balances paranormal whimsy and small-town charm . . . it’s a delight to read about someone whose powers derive in part from stories and the feelings that readers attach to them. This is a fine debut that promises more bookish fun to come.”
--BookPage

Librarian Josie learns more how to use her book magic, and hunky Sam's wife goes missing. A lot of twists and turns, and kept my attention throughout. Fun series set in Oregon. Highly recommend.

Seven-Year Witch was even better than the first book in this series. I really like the main character, Josie Way. I also like that the author hasn't just thrown her into a relationship with Sam Wilfred. Sometimes it's nice to read a cozy mystery series where there isn't really a focus on romance, though I do expect that to change should the series continue. The mysteries in this book were very well-written. I honestly didn't begin suspecting who the killer was until maybe a chapter before the reveal. The why though didn't cross my mind. I'm hoping this series continues because I want to see Josie fully come into her magical powers. She's a really interesting character and her powers with books are so different than other witch cozy mysteries I've read.

This brilliant little cozy was so fun to read. I really like Josie and the fact that she is struggling with her very new powers. She is studying her grandmother's letters but it is difficult to control her power. The clues were cute and really clever. I had a hard time figuring this one out. I was also very interested in reading how she could see life through her familiars eyes. That was awesome. I thought this was a highly entertaining mystery.

Bait and Witch and Seven-Year Witch by Angela M. Sanders are the first and second book in the new paranormal cozy Witch Way Librarian Mysteries series. As with most cozy mystery series each of the books in the Witch Way Librarian Mysteries will contain their own mystery to be fully solved so they can be read as a standalone or in any order if choosing to do so. There is of course character development that carries over from book to book for those that read from the beginning.

Josie Way had been working at the Library of Congress when she became a witness to a corruption case and became a target for those involved. Looking to disappear until things were resolved in DC Josie found an opening at a small town library in Wilfred, Oregon where she thought she would never be found.

After arriving in Wilfred Josie finds her safe place was not as she expected with the library being housed in an old Victorian mansion which was slated for demolition. As Josie tries to figure out what to do next though she finds that she’s actually she’s descended from a long line of witches. Josie’s witchy roots help her in her new job and also finding the killers that seem to plague the small town.

Being someone that enjoys all different kinds of books I’m always drawn to those that cross different elements of genres together. Seeing that the Witch Way Librarian Mysteries series had a touch of paranormal I was immediately engaged in the story in the first book. I enjoyed the characters and knew I would return for book two after finishing the first. The second book went down a little in rating as I found that I thought it could have done a little better re-introducing the characters and setting than it did but the mystery was still a fun one to follow so I will continue on to book three.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

This is the second book in the Which Way Librarian series by Angela M. Sanders.

In this second book, Sam has made a return to Wilfred with a child in tow. He is in the midst of a divorce from a woman that Josie can’t rightly see him connecting with. For a while they think she is dead, then turns out, they all were a bit prophetic in their worries.

I enjoy this series. I wonder if Sam and Josie will ever connect. He already trusts her enough to leave his child with her during an emergency. I just wonder what will develop between the two in the future.

I love how the author brings so many residents into the series. It feels like a real community. Such a wide variety of citizens too. When they all come together at the end when the dam is about to break, I can sense that small town feel so strongly.

This is a series that I will definitely want to continue on with. I am totally an invested reader hoping that this couple will beat all the odds and find each other in the end.

If you love a cozy mystery, definitely check this one out.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title. Opinions are completely my own.

This is book 2 in the Witch Way Librarian series and can be read as a stand alone. I read book 1, Bait and Witch and was happy to see the fun loving returning characters in this quaint town. Josie now lives in Wilfred, Oregon, her late grandmother's home town. With her newly discovered magical powers she helps prove Sam didn't murder his ex-wife and find the killer who is determined to stop the building of a new business in town. A cute read. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I'm really enjoying this series. This book is the second in the series, I would recommend reading the first one. Like the first, this is a cozy mystery in a library setting in a small Oregon town. The cast of characters are relatable and entertaining. I can't wait to read more!

Angela Sanders gives us a second Witch Way Librarian mystery Seven-Year Witch. Josie Way is a librarian whose books talk to her and help her solve murders. A retreat center is in the middle of controversy, Sam whom Josie has a crush on returns to town with a baby and a wife he is getting a divorce from and everything seems under a curse. Tangled relations going back generations and greed in the present set the scene for murder. Read on.

Loved the first book in this series and the second follows up to it well. Love the setting of small-town Oregon and the way Josie's journey progresses as a new witch.

This is the second book in the series but my first one. The characters are interesting. The mystery is well-plotted and entertaining.

I love this series! This is the second book in the Witch Way Librarian Mystery series and I hope there are many more. This story is about Josie way, a witch who is only beginning to learn about her powers. She has recently moved from the East Coast to a small town named Wilfred, Oregon to become the librarian.

Josie learns that she is a witch descended from a long line of witches. Her powers are strong and she is learning how to manage her magic by reading letters from her grandmother. who has passed away. There is a bloody tire iron found at a build site for the new retreat center, and rumors around town indicate that the property is cursed.

I really enjoyed reading about Josie becoming more a part of Wilfred than ever before and seeing her relationships in the town blossom. I thought this is a cleverly written story and I didn't figure it out until near the end. I would recommend this book - and series- to anyone who enjoys a cozy mystery with the hint of the paranormal.

If you’re a fan of twists and turns in your cozy mysteries, you’ll enjoy the wonderful Witch Way Librarian Mystery series. This series is fun with hints of paranormal sprinkled throughout. Curses and crimes collide with whimsy in this book, making it a clever cozy mystery you don’t want to put down. Seven-Year Witch is stacked with secrets that only Josie can slice through to uncover the truth. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I have to ask is the witch referring to Josie or Fiona, the soon to be ex-wife? Book #2 of the Witch Way Library series is every bit as entertaining and enthralling as the series starter. I have often thought that books speak to me, but not to the extent that they speak to Josie. With her ever growing powers and a town that is struggling to make a come-back, Josie is in it for the long haul. Quirky characters, a seemingly unattainable love interest, and a little bit of magic make this cozy mystery a must read. With a few suspects, a few red herrings, and a few clues, will keep you reading for more than a few hours. Be sure to make a bowl of oatmeal with some extra toppings, like walnuts and honey, to enjoy while you read.
