Penniless graduate Blair Wilkes has always felt one step behind everyone else in her life. Her uncanny ability to cause havoc wherever she treads has landed her in unemployment for the dozenth time when she receives a job offer from a strange town called Fairy Falls in the north of England. Even stranger is the fact that she has no memory of applying for the position.

Blair is certain her sudden change in fortunes is too good to be true… and she's right, in a way. It turns out Fairy Falls isn't just eccentric. It's magical, and so is Blair.

Learning she's a witch with a never-before-seen talent is just the first in a series of surprises that await Blair, but her new life comes with its fair share of pitfalls. From a hot ex-paranormal hunter security guard to a co-worker with an inexplicable grudge against Fairy Falls's newest witch, not to mention the mysterious death of a former client, Blair swiftly finds herself overwhelmed. After her magical skill gives her an unexpected lead on the murderer, she finds herself dragged into the investigation.

Can Blair figure out her magical talents before the paranormal killer notices she's on his tail? Or will her new beginning come to an untimely end?

This fun paranormal mystery from author Elle Adams contains a cast of quirky characters, a small English town brimming with secrets, and the unlikeliest witch ever to stumble into her magical powers.

Fun to read. Plot had a couple of twists, keeping it interesting. Looking forward to rest of series.
One small note, probably mentioned by others, adoption and foster care are not identical. If she were adopted, her parents would be her parents,no different from birth parents, not foster parents. Birth/adoptive parents may send kids on their own at 18, especially if they are out of school, but fostering automatically ends at 18. Longer term foster kids may keep up a relationship after age 18, but there is no guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, short paranormal cozy mystery
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018

Blair is a bit nonplussed when she receives a phone call telling her that she has landed a job out of town to which she does not remember applying, and she is absolutely flabbergasted when it turns out that the job is in a magical town full of paranormal creatures, and that she herself has latent magical powers; but she is truly mesmerised when she learns that one of the clients of her new employer had been murdered shortly before her arrival. And it turns out that her new-found magical talents may make her uniquely suited to solve the crime. But not everybody in Fairy Falls is pleased she is there. This is a fun, short cozy mystery set In a whimsical paranormal universe. It has entertaining, appealing characters, funny interactions and appealing ambiance. However, one of its chief strengths, its bite-sized length, is also its primary weakness, as it keeps several story lines and characters, which promise to be rather interesting or fun, from being satisfactorily developed. This can leave some readers a bit unsatisfied. The short length also keeps some contradictions and loose ends in the mystery unanswered, which can be a bit frustrating. However, there are sequels that might deal with this, and this charming little book is a fun enough read to permit looking over these issues in the quest of a fun afternoon read.

I enjoyed the story. It has all the requisite twists and turns along with some other red herrings. I would read her next book, fervently hoping for better editing and sentence structure. This author could rise quickly.

Blair Wilkes is poor, unemployed and down on her luck. She receives an unexpected offer from a town called Fairy Falls. Fairy falls is magical and it turns out Blair is too, unbeknownst to her.

This is the first book in the Blair Wilkes Mystery Series. This book is fun as Blair discovers what it means to finally feel like she fits in.

However, soon after her arrival she discovers a murder has just taken place and she is determined to get to the bottom of it. Once her magic gives her a clue to the murderer, she gets herself involved in the investigation.

I loved the characters in this book including a new best friend, a romantic interest and werewolves.

A must read for paranormal cozy lovers!

I reads a lot and often have to read a second book in a series before it gets a grip on my imagination. I found the first couple of chapters a little confusing but then I really got into the story , I look forward to the development of the cat, Sky.

5.0 out of 5 stars a read-it-while-ignoring-everything else book!
Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2018

just finished Witch in Progress, book 1 of the Blair Wilkes series. I bought it on the recommendation of someone, & I definitely owe that person a big thank you! I enjoyed this book, which is a solid who-done-it based in a town full of witches, werewolves & other paranormals. The main female character is new in town, and trying to figure out who she is. In the middle of that she gets sucked into a murder investigation. It is a fairly typical mystery plot, but Ms. Adams has done a good job in giving her lead character a great sense of humour, less-than-perfect investigative skills (made her more likable!) and the ability interact well with the other characters in the book. The writing was great, sucked me in for most of today. And a big plus was that the author didn’t give the solution to the murder away early! She kept me guessing up to the end, which is a very good thing to have in a murder mystery. I have her next book in my main wish list already and am strongly recommending this book to my friends.

An interesting start, the author managed to avoid the usual cliché and give it a bit of a twist which was good!

Blair Wilkes was orphaned as a baby, passed round foster homes she was finally adopted by the Wilkes family who made it clear that they would support her to 18 then she was on her own.

She's never settled, bouncing around jobs and homes, unlike all her friends, out of work again she receives a call offering her a job she's sure she never applied for. But times are desperate and needs must!

Blair sets off to find the strangely named Fairy Falls.. and when she arrives it's not what she expected.. paranormal becomes the new normal and Blair starts to understand why she's never really been able to settle down. First though there's a new job to learn, a murder to solve and a whole world to explore.
