Drags on a bit
Blair and her father meet her adoptive parents in Sloan and a man drops dead right in front of them breaking up their gathering.
Shortly after Blair and Alissa bump into Maura and Carey who've decided to visit Fairy Falls to capture more footage of ghosts for Carey's ghost blog. Carey's read about a "Shadow of the Lake" from another, recently deceased, ghost hunters blog.. was his death connected to the "Shadow" who it's believed curses those who disturb her?
Things soon get out of hand, as no one wants to talk to or assist the reaper witch, and Maura seems to be set on stirring up trouble no matter what.
I'm not really sure what is going on with the crossover novels though. It's odd but the characters seem to have personality transplants when they switch series. Maura becomes quite unlike herself and is rather unlikeable and Carey isn't her usual bubbly, eager self either. In a totally separate crossover Robin Wildwood seemed to be at odds with how she's portrayed in her own series too. It makes these crossover novels a less compelling read. This one seemed awkward and jerky, at times Blair came across downright rude and other characters also seem off.
Hopefully they return to their former standard because it would put me off continuing if Adams doesn't find her spark soon.

In Witch the New is Book 12 in the Blair Wilkes Series by Elle Adams.
This book was absolutely fantastic! This was one of the best crossover stories
I have read. Maura , Mart and Carey are visiting from Hawkwood Hollow (Reaper Witch Series)
to get some footage for Carey's blog.
Blair runs into them in town and discovers that Maura is half Reaper but with no scythe.
Add to this Blair's adoptive parents meet Blair's biological father.
This book was so good I absolutely loved the characters , from both series.
I really like Blair and Nathan's relationship.
Alissa and Samuel the vampire seem to be a perfect match too.
This seriously was so fun I couldn't put it down. This can be read as a stand alone book, but definitely check out the other books in both series as they are all amazing!

Great writing
This book features some of the characters from the Reaper Witch series for a unique story. I did find Blair overly whiny and that isn't really evident in previous books. Blair is normally confident and impetuous but she comes across as rude. I still especially like this series but I'm finding Blair less likeable now. Don't ruin a series by bringing in characters from another series and building a plot that fits those characters over the primary characters.

Book 12
Blaire natural father is meeting her foster parents when a strange acting man drops dead outside where they are having drinks. When waking back to their enchanted town they come across 2 women and a ghost visiting there too. A half Reaper and a blogger along with the ghost they are surprised to find Blair can see.
I found the book slow and tedious, quite unlike Elle Adams books I've read before. I couldn't even finish it.

I was happy to have something different again. While there was someone who died, it wasn’t inside Fairy Falls and who they died was different. Bringing in a new fantasy “species” was a breath of fresh air. Now, will Blair’s foster parents find out about who she is and how different she is? Only 3 books left till we find out!

Another charming cozy witch story!
Elle Adams has a gift for writing stories that draw you in and keep you enthralled. If you have a few hours to spare, you can't go wrong opening up this book.

When Blair Met Maura
Blair Wilkes has another murder to solve, but this time she has the assistance of Maura: the Reaper Witch. A fun crossover and a must read!

The teenage reaper ghost is funny - typical teenage boy. His sister is there to deal with a bad ghost.
