If the Broom Fits by Sara Bourgeois

Brighton Longfield is not having a great time of it. She is divorced, recently fired, and her car just broke down. Luckily, it fires back up and she's able to make it into Coventry towing her U-Haul behind. Her new home, the one she inherited from her great aunt Maude "Mad" Tuttlesmith, is known as Hangman's House which is spooky enough but it doesn't look like it's even inhabitable so she stays at the local B&B. There, she meets a professor of the paranormal. He's a jerk to her. Later, Brighton learns he's definitely not endearing himself around town either. Too bad she's the one to discover him dead behind the local diner. 
She's not really a murder suspect but she has bigger things to deal with as she discovers that she's a witch and her family was pushed out of Coventry by the Skeenbauers, another local family of witches.
This is a shorter book so there are plot points that are rather abrupt but it was overall a nice read.

Panic Broom by Sara Bourgeois

Panic Broom by Sara BourgeoisBrighton is ecstatic. Six months (or so) after the last book and she's dating the man of her dreams, in fact, he's just proposed. Too bad there are shenanigans afoot. Well, if you can classify zombies as shenanigans. It seems that her fiance's family has been dabbling in dark magics and have caused a worldwide epidemic (is that the word for zombies?).
This book, like the others in this series, is short so it's light on story and character development but it's pretty fluffy and fast to read.

A Clean Sweep by Sara Bourgeois

A Clean Sweep (Wicked Witches of Coventry Book Book 4)A ghost hunting team has come to Coventry. The local witches couldn't tell them not to come so they've hired Brighton to be their official minder. They give it a pretty name but she's going to make $3,000, more if she can get them to leave in a week. Brighton is fine with that but she soon learns that the team knows more about her house than she does. And then one of them ends up dead. She doesn't need this on top of the fact that Thorne is investigating the murder but somehow dodging her calls.
None of the Wicked Witches of Coventry books are very deep and this is no different. If you are looking for a well- or tightly-plotted mystery, this is not going to be the series for you. But fast, fun, and fluffy? Bourgeois has you covered!

Broom with a View by Sara Bourgeois

Broom with a View (Wicked Witches of Coventry Book 3)Brighton stumbles onto another body. This time, it hits even closer to home as the woman is her brother Brody's fiancee and it may be that Brody will be considered a suspect, especially since the woman seems to be the victim of a serial killer so the FBI is now involved.
Also jolting her life at the moment? The builder who is fulfilling the terms of a contract her Aunt Maude set up 30 years ago for a new garage. The man is BUILT and the women in town are all attracted. He seems to have eyes for Brighton though so that's a third man now after her.
Her relationship with Thorn is shaky and she doesn't know why but at least Remy seems to be coming back to himself.
Like the other two books, you'll need to understand that this is a short book that is fast, fun, and really fluffy. Plot points are introduced and never followed up on. And Brighton isn't really developing as a character. You'd think that, after centuries of witches being able to hide their powers, she'd get that it would be a good thing to do but she tells, well, basically everyone what she is. I've enjoyed the stories so far and allowed for character development being limited by length but she is getting a little TSTL. Hopefully the next book helps her figure it out.
