Synopsis (Goodreads):

When an old friend reaches out to Ellie, asking for help locating her missing coven members, she’s ready for her big comeback. Witchlight is financing the op, and it feels damn good to be official again.

But when her friend’s lies begin to unravel, Ellie realizes she’s let her ego lead her into a trap. And she’s brought her coven down with her. With the girls’ lives on the line, Ellie has to decide what’s more important—reliving her glory days or saving her best friends from a permanent retirement.

Thoughts on Free as a Bird: Ellie and her coven are back and HOO-BOY do these ladies know how to get themselves in the middle of interesting things. And by "interesting" I mean maybe a little dangerous. And odd. But they have one another to lean on and Betty's shifter sons to provide some muscle and sometimes that's all you need to put the bad guys in their place. (On a slightly unrelated note, Zander is kind of my favorite of Betty's boys. He's determined and willing to drop the hammer when it needs to be dropped and I like that in a shifter.)

So. Ellie jumps at the chance to do a little fieldwork for someone she knew back in the day. While it seems like a cut and dried assignment at a glance, all the ladies think something more might be going on than what Leslie told them. Still, if another coven needs them, they're going to try to help. They're just going to be cautious about their sleuthing.

Being that these ladies have plenty of experience (and with Wally tagging along, they have a voice of reason in their midst), they soon start to uncover something a little more dastardly than they were led to believe. A little case of abduction, a kitten with plenty of spunk, a coven who stands together, and Ellie leading the charge. Man, these ladies are fun. Wild and unpredictable most of the time, but fun!
