Looking for Mr. Good Witch

by Joyce Lavene

Published 2015289 pagesISBN 978-0-4252-6826-1

"A sea witch has been leaving bodies in her wake up and down the Carolina coast, baffling authorities who are finding drowning victims with no water in their lungs. The finicky female will continue to kill young male witches until she finds her perfect man--the one who survives her mating ritual--so she can live for another hundred years. And now coven hopeful Brian Fuller is about to be ensnared in her net. Retired witches Molly and Elsie, along with the ghost of Olivia and her daughter Dorothy, need all the help they can get to stop the sea witch. Aided by a Selkie and a cream puff-craving mermaid, they're determined to keep Brian out of her murky clutches. But are they all about to get in over their heads?"--Page [4] of cover.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fantasy, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Fantasy, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Which familiar part of life becomes easier to see through this imagined world?
  2. What rules shape the world, and who benefits from them?
  3. Where does wonder, fear, or possibility change a character’s choices?
