It's been a little while since I've read a book in this Series. This was an entertaining read. I gave it 3 stars because I found the premise interesting but there wasn't any real character development. The characters' behaviors and interactions felt rather predictable, stagnant and formulistic. Clove as the narrator was fine. At times, she really is a kvetch! lol The wise cracks and snark continued. Everyone was in rare or rather true to form. Alas, therein lies what is becoming my problem with the series. Some of the characters are outwardly exhibiting some of the trappings of growth and maturity, e.g. engagement, moving away from the family estate, moving in with a significant other, but psychology and interpersonally these are pretty much the same characters who I met in the very first book i.e. little character development. I like Aunt Tillie but she's pretty much the same in every book. It seems like the author has unwittingly created a bit of a quandary. The snark , immaturity, pettiness, bickering and wise cracks have been made essential to the Series. However, if these characters truly mature and grow the latter would expectedly decrease at least a little. Thereby destroying an element that is crucial to the Series & its humor. However, I don't think that I would enjoy a Series in which there is no real character development. Nevertheless, this story was entertaining enough that I do plan to read the next book in the Series which is another "short."Product details

FourLeaf Clover A Wicked Witches of the Midwest Short eBook Amanda M Lee Reviews
If I need a smile to brighten my day I pick up any of the Wicked Witches of the Midwest books. Although it is a series and most fun to read in order each book is stand alone. This book revolves around Clover the good Witch who manages to get in as much trouble as her two less saintly cousins. The cousins and the men in their lives solve a most interesting crime that is more fun to discover than hear about in a review. Tilly, the camo wearing and powerful annoying little old aunt gets involved complicating the entire search for the criminal while threating some very unique curses on anyone getting in her way.
Clove has a wonderful life; she is in love and enjoying all the good things life is throwing at her. While working in her shop one day, a stranger drops by and after a brief discussion gives Clove a lucky coin. Not thinking anything of it other than a nice gesture, she deposits the coin in a pocket and carries on with her day. It doesn’t take long for her to begin to believe in the power of the lucky coin. She feels as if nothing can go wrong as long as she has the coin in her possession. When a storm blows in and sweeps her off a dock into the water, she thinks it will be her last moments on earth. Pressing her hand against her leg, she feels the coin wishing her boyfriend would come to save her. Suddenly, Sam appears out of nowhere, reaches down and pulls her from the water.
Clove knows her luck has changed and begins thinking of ways she can use the lucky coin without getting hurt or hurting anyone else. Unfortunately, Aunt Tillie finds out about the coin and demands Clove turn it over to her. Clove refuses, likening the coin to the “Precious” in the Lord of the Rings stories.
After several reports of an armed robber running around town, and Clove having accidentally on purpose bumped into the culprit, the family decides they have to catch the thief before someone gets hurt. Is the robber local, or a stranger just passing through? Why does Clove get a distinct feeling that she knows who it is?
__
Clove is a lot like her cousins, yet she is a bit more stable than the other two. Her aversion to getting involved in anything that might get nasty or dangerous is understandable, but her need to be in on the action will always overrule her logic. Having run into an armed robber and almost getting hurt saved only by her lucky coin, Clove goes along with her cousins, and plots to lay a trap to catch the thief.
Clove is not happy about trying to nab the thief in the middle of her Aunt Tillie's “special” field, but as usual, she goes along with the plan and hopes no one gets hurt. She becomes even less happy when Aunt Tillie shows up with a loaded gun, and Thistle and bay let her keep it.
This short gives us an inside look into the least known Winchester cousin, Clove and adds to her overall character. The dialogue is humorous and easily relatable. The banter between the cousins, as well as all of the cast of characters, is interesting and lively. This story is a short but felt like it could easily have become another book in the series. The setting is fun and filled with possibilities. The story is smooth and fast paced without being mired down in descriptiveness that is unnecessary.
The Winchester Witches are very much your ordinary family with the twist of being witches added. They laugh, play, fight and get on each other's nerves, just like any close family will. Exceptions, however, come up whenever one of them is in trouble, or in need of genuine support. They would go to the ends of the earth and beyond to help someone they love. A bit hidden at times but always on the edge of the inevitable mischief and mayhem, they care for each other and are willing to sacrifice anything to help when trouble brews. All of the characters are aggravating to one degree or another, intelligent, gifted, egotistical and at the center of it all, loving. They are the relatives we love to hate and will defend to the end.
It would be advisable for anyone who wants to read this short to start with the original books in the series. These are not stand alone books or shorts, and if this is the first story a reader picks up, they will be confused and frustrated by not knowing the characters or the circumstance surrounding the situations they get dragged into. However, that said this short, much like the others that are in the series was enjoyable and easy to read.
The trio are back in a new short story and this time the narrative voice is Clove's.
Regardless of if it's the main series or the short stories, Amanda M. Lee does a wonderful job with pacing, dialogue, and humor. The family dynamics often remind me of late 70s tv shoes like Archie Bunker or The Jefferson's; dysfunctional yes, but with lots of love and heart too.
Four-Leaf Clover continues the series with Halloween just around the corner, the town is gearing up for the festival, and, of course, trouble comes to town. An enigmatic psychic and a hooded robber start the adventure; and our witchy trio plot, argue, and kvetch their way through helping the police and FBI.
As much as I love these books, I'm never really into Clove as the narrator. It's happened only once before, and in that short story she came off far more whiney than usual. Here it was better. Still not my favorite character or narrator, but definitely a good example of how the character has evolved.
Sadly, I couldn't give it 4 stars, and that's all having to do with the punctuation errors. There weren't many, but they are there and should have been caught.
Still, I can't recommend this series enough. It's fun, funny, heartfelt, engaging, and is always clever in its use of magic. Please give this, and the series, a try.
