Amy Goodnight would rather not be called a witch. She is at her Aunts Texas ranch to take of the goats, not ghosts, for the summer. She is the rational one of the family.

Amy heads to TX to babysit her aunt's ranch and who should she meet on one of the first days there - while in her underwear? Adorable, but cranky ranching neighbor Ben.

Great chick lit with a delightfully creepy feel.

I honestly hope to see more of Amy Goodnight and her sister Phin. The romance element was good - not perfect, but intriguing enough that I would like to re

Definitely an homage to Nancy Drew - and possibly Scoobie Doo. Fun read.
