I'm not a big fan of paranormal cozy mystery with witches with some exceptions like Juliet Blackwell and Morgana Best so I had no high expectations even if the plot sounded good.
I was wrong because this book is a lot of fun to read, with a cast of unusual and funny characters.
The heroine is so human and her familiar could become a favourite of mine.
I will get the other instalments in this series because I really enjoyed this one
Many thanks to JRT Publications and Netgalley for this ARC

Abby is a witch just coming into her powers. She has started a business as a private detective. She has a lover, Eric, who is a Viking ghost. Her witch mentor, Dante, also has his eyes on her. Abby is likeable and she is a devoted friend. She works to solve a murder and later, the kidnapping of her friend. This book is a fun read with relationships you want to watch grow. Abby is quirky, Eric is brooding and Dante is funny. The characters feel like friends you want to visit.

Book 3 in the Ghost & Abby Mystery Series.

Abby is a single mum to 3 mischievous kids. She is combining family life with being a Night Janitor at a haunted tea house with a bit of detective work thrown in.
Abby’s love life is complicated dating a Viking ghost called Eric and coping with her feelings for man witch Dante.
This is a fun mystery revolving round Abby trying to solve the séance murder with help from her men.
This was enjoyable fun but watch for a few dark moments.
I would recommend reading the first 2 books in the series to relate to the characters.
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun book. It blends the supernatural with the normal life of being a mom, janitor and PI. I didn't like the character Dante very much, he is a bit smarmy and I was saddened by the miscarrage. I would definitely read more of the series. #DeathBySéance #NetGalley

This is the third book in the Ghost & Abby Mystery Series. In this one, Abby's friend Joy holds a seance and during it someone is mudered. Abby helps find the murderer while also dealing with an overly attentive witch mentor, a jealous mother & a thousand year old viking lover who is intent on trading his soul for a life with Abby.

This was a quick fun read. The characters were enjoyable and the book was packed with lots of things going on.

For full disclosure, I read the first book in this series, but for some reason, I didn’t read the second. I don’t think I’ve missed much, but just in case, I thought I’d disclose that. Overall, I did really like this book, but there were a couple things that did hinder my full enjoyment. First, though, the book was well-written, and it did have an interesting mystery. I liked the way Abby went about solving the mystery, and I was surprised at the end. I also really enjoyed the characters, but I do admit I was really frustrated with how Abby’s romantic life ended up (one of the hindrances). To round out, the other item that bothered me was Abby’s son; he really needed more supervision! LOL! So, other than those couple things, I really enjoyed this book, and I am interested to see what’s going to happen next. I know I was a little vague, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers. If you like light paranormal mysteries, give this one a try. Recommend! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Glad I found this entertaining series, I've been enjoying it along with Abby and her adventures. The witch/paranormal combination is interesting depending on how it develops and this doesn't disappoint, well written , with great characters and hard to put down.
