Saving the world is such a bother when it makes you late for tea. Wizard Lily Singer is kept busy managing library archives, studying magic, and trying to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. Unfortunately, he loves adventure even more than she loves being left alone. She doesn't want to investigate a malignant spell in a haunted house, but Sebastian is promising rare books as the reward. She also doesn't want to hurt her family, but is tired of being lied to about her past. And she definitely doesn't want to get stuck in a dangerously unstable time loop, but Sebastian is in trouble-again . . . Strangling her friend, as satisfying as it would be, won't fix her problems. If she wants answers, and to not miss tea, she had best find the right spell for the job-before everything goes to hell, and takes them all with it.

I just needed a change.

I have listened to all 4 books and really enjoyed them. You learn magic lore, along with the main character. This world's background is well thought out.
The second character has been on the darker side,learning how to survive. Though looked down upon he becomes the linchpin of the team.
For the cat lovers out there, you get a talking cat. A very cutting wit, very CAT.
These books are well written plots, and a brilliant back story that slowly becomes an urgently issue.
The writer has given you everything you need, or demand as a reader in many types of books. If you want a change from murder, action & adventure, drama, cosy... Then this is a great laugh, with a bit of all wrapped in magic. Not Hogwarts, more Dresden files. Hope to see this series continue.
