Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Alt is in no hurry to get to the bloodshed in her mild sixth paranormal mystery featuring Stony Mill, Ind., psychic empath Maggie O'Neil, Alt's first in hardcover (after 2009's Where There's a Witch). When Maggie's sister, Melanie, goes into labor, Maggie rushes to the hospital. En route to the delivery floor, Maggie gets stuck in an elevator, where she overhears an ominous conversation between two men (It's in the bag. No way she'll ever suspect. Not until it's too late). Maggie later breaks her foot after missing a step on the hospital stairway, offering an opportunity for her hunky wizard boyfriend, Marcus Quinn, to invite her to stay with him while she mends. Plenty of make-out scenes pass between Maggie and Marcus before a corpse turns up. The explanation for the suggestive dialogue she heard will strike many as a letdown. Those expecting only a simple puzzle tacked on to the heroine's continuing quest for romantic fulfillment will be satisfied. (Apr.)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Madelyn Alt, here. When it comes to The Bewitching Mysteries, I am a blend of creator, innocent bystander, and goddess divine. Which means, I am a writer, a.k.a. one of those strange people who sits staring at the walls for most of the day, sometimes glazed over, sometimes frowning, and sometimes giggling {madly!}.

Contrary to opinions expressed by some, being a writer does not mean that I sit down at the computer every day for a specific amount of time for a set number of days, effortlessly spilling forth the requisite number of words, until finally, POOF! A novel ready for publication. Writing is hard work. Hard, I tell you. Some days, the only way to get through it with your ego intact is with large quantities of chocolate.

But' that being said, it is all worth it in the end because that's when I meet you. The readers. The beautiful people. Your support has been overwhelmingly positive from the very beginning, and I can't thank you enough... Bless you again, and again, and again!

For those who haven't yet been initiated:

The Bewitching Mysteries feature small town single girl and fledgling empath Maggie O'Neill, her witchy boss, and her circle of ghosthunting friends, the N.I.G.H.T.S., as they investigate an increasing level of paranormal disturbance--not to mention a series of unrelated murders--in Maggie's hometown of Stony Mill, Indiana.

A base of mystery, a dash of paranormal fantasy, a smattering of romantic banter, all blended together to create a magical and irreverent cross-genre brew. Mysteries . . . with Hex Appeal!

Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoyed this read, "A Witch in Time," the 6th installment of Madelyn Alt's Bewitching Mystery series. "Mysteries with Hex Appeal" Eeek I love it!

Madelyn Alt's talents as a paranormal mystery and romance writer continue to improve since the first book of the series, "The Trouble with Magic." That's not to say her talents were ever less than totally enchanting, not at all- simply that with each new book she propels her readers into her witchy world that is dripping, just dripping, with detail. Ms. Alt's attention to detail is exquisite. The tiny particulars she refuses to overlook add depth and interest to her writing. An example? The scene in the hospital where Maggie's mother hears news of the twin's births for the first time. It literally brought tears to my eyes as I, with the help of Ms. Alt's amazingly clear description, read how she bounced on her toes (completely out of character for the usually overbearing woman) with her arms around Maggie's father. Who writes stuff like that?

No one that's who, except maybe one of the masters, like S. King.

I want to pack Grandpa G. up and take him home with me where I can feed him all the goodies he's not allowed to have. His character is a delight and adds a ton of humor.

Ugh- the elevator scene had me twitching in my seat feeling like I couldn't get a deep breath into my lungs. Really- this gal is goooood.

In my opinion when a reader falls in love with a series of books a certain level of commitment is involved. I, for one, am not a fly-by-night fan. Every writer has a book in a series that might not be quite as exciting as the others (Charlene Harris has at least one of them in the Sookie series yet each one is highly entertaining.) In Ms. Alt's case, her writing is flawless, storylines interesting, characterization superb. I agree with another review posted here- this story was more intimate, more "Maggie." I can't say I don't understand the issues some other readers have, and I too look forward to more magick, more Liss, more N.I.G.H.T.S. and more scares in #7 yet I don't feel the book is lacking in mystery or interest.

I'm only 3/4 of the way finished, savoring the ending as I always do. The sexually-charged yet consistently on the edge playful banter between Marcus and Maggie as they begin their relationship is as sweet as pie, maybe like a molten lava triple chocolate fudge pie dripping with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry ;) Emphasis on the "molten," mind you- hot hot hot!

I look forward to reading more Maggie!!!!

CAUTION!! THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ ANY SPOILERS PLEASE STOP READING NOW! IF YOU DO WANT TO READ SPOILERS CONTINUE ON! I WON’T ALWAYS HAVE SPOILERS THOUGH!!

Maggie O’Neill is back in another good mystery. Right off the bat this book will be five butterflies. Maggie uncharacteristically, wanted to be done working at the store early that afternoon. She wanted to get her butt over to Marcus’s place so that they could watch movies and maybe do something more… That is until her mom called Liss who then called Marcus who told Maggie to get to the hospital asap.

Maggie was pretty much busy with doing all the things her sister and mother wanted her to do at the hospital while waiting for her sister to give birth to her baby. Or in the case babies that no one knew about. Not even Felicity knew about the babies. The day after Mel gave birth to her twin girls Maggie was on her way out and going to her job when she broke her ankle.

Maggie was thrown into a loop over the conversation she heard from the elevator and has been trying to figure out who the people were while trying to figure out who they were talking about. That right there has been the biggest mystery especially considering the weird way that Dr. Dan has been acting around Steff. Steff is Maggie’s best friend. Marcus has also been trying to get Maggie to stay put so that her ankle could heal which is turned out to be pretty hard. Since Maggie has too many things to worry about right now. Like helping her sister with the twin girls while her husband is missing, figuring out what happened to the teen that died, figuring with why Tony Nunizo was killed, and to heal her ankle.

Madelyn Alt has woven a great mystery book as once again I didn’t guess who the killer was, once again. That has been becoming a trend for me as I haven’t figured out who killed the person that got killed in any of Madelyn Alt books.

Anyways until next time enjoy this book review brought to you by
Baroness’ Book Trove.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alt Delivers Again
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2010

I am not sure what one of the other reviewers was reading, but I found their review to be inaccurate.
It was easy to fall back into Maggie's world with this latest novel. Sure the mystery was not the best, but have they ever been in this series? If you want a great mystery go read Agatha. This series is not about the mystery, it is about Maggie's life and the people she shares it with. It does deviate from the typical format of this series, but I still got my fill of the budding romance between Marcus and Maggie, there was closure with ex-beau Tom, and we got a better look at Maggie, her family, and saw her growing up a little as a person and as a witch. I think the character development in this book will have been necessary if we are to enjoy subsequent books. I am referring to this "big evil" that Alt teases us with. Maggie will have to be more than she was in the last books to face this off with her friends. I gave this book only 4 stars because yes, it could have had a bit more of everything...mystery, romance, magick and Liss...but it felt like coming home again at page one and I read it in one sitting. My only real gripe is having to wait for the next installment.
