Bad Witch is the second novel in the Cat McKenzie series, a paranormal detective book. Cat has come to terms with the fact that all supernaturals are not evil, even accepted that some of them are genuinely good people. That doesn't change the fact that she's more confused than ever about her parents' deaths and answers are in short supply. But witches are being murdered and she has a job to do, a job that once again threatens her personal safety and keeps her from said answers.
I enjoyed this one more than the last because I felt like the main plot was actually driving stuff forward. There were witches being murdered and they were able to solve the mystery. I appreciated that it wasn't super predictable but it wasn't incredibly convoluted or hard to follow. The romance also heated up a lot and we definitely saw some serious development on that front. I do kind of resent the fact that the timeline is so short, I thought we were dealing with a lot more than two weeks. Like, you're telling me she dropped all her prejudices and started catching major serious feels for this dude in that short of a timeline? Kind of hard to imagine and I'm more of a fan of a slower burn.
Still genuinely good though, exciting and building up to a bigger reveal on her identity and how that's going to factor in with her new romance. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these characters and their great teamwork.
