I read Slouch Witch based on @worktolive's recommendation, and really liked it , and then read the remaining books/novella in the series via KU. Now Slouch Witch is actually free at Kindle US and UK - really free, not KU-free .

However, I've noticed that Harper tends to make the first titles in her various series free, and then the later ones only rarely go on sale, although many are in KU. Which can be, of course, a good marketing strategy! And there are sometimes box sets that can offer a bit of a reduced price. But, if you don't have KU, just be forewarned...

Spoiler:

Hard Work Will Pay Off Later. Laziness Pays Off Now.

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact, she's probably the last witch in the world who you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa where she could watch TV, munch junk food and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content.

However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses.

It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work.

And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.
