Here Comes the Witch (A Paranormal Witch Cozy Mystery): (Main Street Witches #1) Kindle Edition
Kat Ramos has a quite a to-do list. The Manhattan jewelry designer wants to open her own shop, but she’s running short of funds. That’s when she receives a very intriguing proposition—to travel to the very haunted and extremely quirky Virginia town of Banshee Creek and help undo the deadly Hagen House curse.
In order to so, however, she must marry handsome haunted house contractor (yes, that’s a real career in Banshee Creek) Liam Hagen, manage a mysterious magical store, solve a centuries-old murder, and embrace her witchy heritage. Will Kat prevail, or will the Hagen Curse claim one last victim?

About the author

I'm a USA Today bestselling author of paranormal romantic comedy and cozy mystery (whew, that's a mouthful!) set in Banshee Creek, Virginia, The Most Haunted Town in the USA. My books feature feisty, irrepressible heroines dealing with a host of paranormal critters (ghosts, cryptids, pagan gods...the sky's the limit) and mysteries. They find love and laughter (and sometimes corpses) along the way, and readers get to follow them every step of the way.
I love quirky towns with spooky stories, and, thanks to my books, I get to "live" in one year-around. In real life I live in a Virginia suburb (which is sadly lacking in ghosts) with my husband, three children, two cats, and one adorable dog. I love interacting with readers so like me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AniGonzalezAuthor/, follow me on Twitter at @_ani_gonzalez, and/or sign up for my mailing list at http://anigonzalezblogs.blogspot.com/p/newsletter-signup.html.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018I loved this book. In fact, even when I couldn’t read because life is busy, I thought about it. Kat is the perfect heroine with an attitude that won’t stop. Liam is the eternal hero. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, excitement, and paranormal books. I’ll look for volume 2.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018After recently finishing up the Banshee Creek series and wanting more of this humorous, quirky town and its living, living from the beyond, and monster residences, I was thrilled to see there was a spin-off series with a bit more magic to make the romance interesting.
Here Comes the Witch takes place shortly after the finish of My Ghostly Valentine from the Banshee Creek series. It is technically the first book in a new series, but it is my humble opinion that the reader will enjoy this more by starting with the Banshee Creek series. The hero, Liam Hagan, and several of the other characters crossover from that series as does the background for this new story.
Kat Ramos dreams of opening a store for her hand-made jewelry in her home town, The Bronx. To achieve this, she is willing to take Liam Hagan from Banshee Creek up on his weird and interesting business offer. Liam owns a cursed house that he can't sell until he gets the curse lifted. By doing some research he figures out that descendants of both her family and his family lines must marry and live in the old Hagan place. Liam figures a year will do the trick then he will sell the house and give her half the money. In the meantime, he agrees that she can set up her jewelry making and sell in Banshee Creek.
But, as with anything else in this town, its not that simple. Liam and Kat learn that there is more to the curse than he thought and they have to get answers about that past doomed love affair before they are in the clear. In the meantime, their business match is starting to heat up, weird things start to happen at the house, a mysterious local herb woman thinks Kat is the real deal like her witch ancestors, and the locals are hosting a Chinese Ghost Party Festival. Welcome to Banshee Creek, Kat!
This read easily and quickly. It was fun and engaging from the get-go. Kat has a lot thrown at her, but she takes it on like a pro. I loved the low drama from Liam and Kat since the story already had plenty with the history of the curse, Kat figuring out if she's a real witch, and Kat working out that her dreams might have changed after she gets immersed into life in Banshee Creek.
I loved the familiar scenes with long-time characters (and I do mean characters), crazy town happenings, the paranormal crew led by Caine, and seeing poor Liam finally get a chance to do something about the family cursed house.
All in all, I had a good old time and can't wait to keep going with the series and meet the next Main Street Witch in Banshee Creek. Paranormal Romance and romantic comedy fans are a good bet for this book and the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019HERE COMES THE WITCH is the first book in the Main Street Witches series. It is expected that they will each stand on their own. This is a spin-off of the Banshee Creek series and interacts with characters from that series – a lot.
This was a fun and funny read. It may be a little short on mystery, but it is long on cozy for those of us who have loved the Banshee Creek series. I only wish I had more of these stories.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020A scary but not scary enough to give you nightmares mystery. Although the initial crimes happened in the distant past, the consequences are proving deadly in the here and now. Kat has come to marry the owner of a house ... a house with a curse. Supposedly, it all started with star-crossed lovers. Kat is a descendant of the original bride to be. Liam, the owner of the house, a descendant of the original groom. The hope is that if they legally marry and live in the house, even though it is actually to be a business transaction, that the curse will be broken. However, nothing is as it seems. Will they break the curse? Will they even survive? Loved the storyline, the characters and the approach. Five stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Gonzalez has crafted a well-told story that kept me reading well into the night. I will definitely be reading the remaining books in this series and look forward to returning to Banshee Creek.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019This stand-alone is easy to follow. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.
Intriguing storyline of paranormal powers. The mystery is easy to figure out and the steps taken to release the spirits are realistic. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Reality based procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought provoking, memorable and occasionally snarky dialogue.
"Magic isn't good or bad. It's like the ocean waves. It can take you to new places or it can crash you upon the shore."
"She's Italian, so I would say no, but what do I know? I'm Norwegian and our ghosts don't care about nookie, just raiding, blood feuds, and herring recipes."
No desire to re-read this story. I am interested in other works by this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019Kat seemed a bit too perfect and a bit too knowledgeable (I guess she did do a lot of research) but still not understanding what is actually going on. She's told she is a witch (like her ancestress) and then the first spell she does is really complicated; in the meantime she's trying to convince herself she isn't really a witch. That seems a bit much to me. I did like that her and Liam were attracted to each other but tried hard not to be. The ending was good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tops
No spoilers,,,,
What I liked; I enjoyed reading this tale. The happy ever after was also nice. The twists and turns made it a page turner for me with the authors knowledge on things magical something to be amazed at. I learned things I hadn’t known, and that is always a plus.
There was nothing in this tale that I didn’t like.
- ColinBReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story from Ani Gonzalez
What can I say? That mixture of small town romance, paranormal all ties together with that touch of humour that I love.
There were twists and turns in the plot, some of which I knew would happen and others that were a surprise. Highly recommended.
