Reading and reviewing this book contributed to 2020 #FraterfestRAT
Even Witches Get the Blues by J.D. Winters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I chose this book for #FraterfestRAT because it only had 14 chapters. I am shaken by the news at the end. I never could have imagined. It was shocking sad and exciting at the same time. Haley is the protagonist with amnesia and intuitively comes to understand she is a witch. With some magic, she inherits a run-down shabby Bar and Grill that belonged to her parents only she has to contend with demons and a murder case to which she is the number one suspect. Ugh. Knowing this doesn't make the conclusion any better, however. Her grandmother and boyfriend are very significant characters who I liked a lot.

Publishers Summary:
Everyone remembers Haley Greco, except for Haley herself.
Haley is a witch with amnesia and she might be the most normal thing in the spooky town of Moonhaven.
She wakes up in a strange motel room, no idea who she is, with just the clothes on her back and, weirdly, the deed to a property in Moonhaven where everybody seems to know her. Back for less than a day she discovers, in no short order, that she has an entire missing family, a town history as a wild child, and a grandmother who seems to want her to prepare to save civilization. Not only that, she's the lead suspect in a murder and Deputy Sheriff Shane McAllister knows more about her than he should. The real murderer is on the move. Can Haley clear her name and regain her memory before it's too late?
