Call Of The Witch: book seven in the Detective Marcella Witch’s series. When Tony calls on the witches’ coven for help in finding a missing girl, he learns that his reluctance to participate in a ritual with Lilith may have cost him the chance of finding her alive
Dana Donovan grew up in New England where folklore and superstitions can mold a town’s history as much as its people. He exploits that phenomenon in all his books, perpetuating the enigma of small town life and the belief in all that dies is not dead.
80% of this book focuses on solving of this kidnapping (which I suspected from the beginning), then, at the end, it just gets solved really quickly without a mention of motive or a real conclusion. I felt frustrated, having invested my time in this, and feeling like I got a contrived, half-assed ending.
Last in the series -- so far. I think there is a new one coming out in late 2012. I've enjoyed the series a lot, even though I wish the author/publisher had a better editor. Not a lot of grammar problems, but lots of wrong word usage, i.e.: sorted details for sordid details. Derails one's attention from the storyline.
My summer of new series reading continues: 3 down; so many more to go!

I enjoyed this book apart from it left a couple of things hanging, which hopefully will be answered in the next book in the series.
