Summary from Goodreads

As Enchanted Village’s resident Wishcrafter, Darcy Merriweather has the power to make other people’s wishes come true, but what she really wishes is that she had the power to uncloak the invisible man who’s stalking her best friend....

Darcy’s closest friend and fellow witch, Starla Sullivan, hoped she’d never see her ex-husband, Kyle, again. Two years ago he tried to kill her, and he has been a fugitive ever since. Now Starla claims to have seen him back in Enchanted Village, but it seems she’s the only one who can see him. To everyone else, her ex is invisible.

Darcy only wishes his motives were as transparent as the rest of him. Since the police can’t arrest someone they can’t see, it’s up to Darcy to find the secret behind Kyle’s latest disappearing act—before he does something they can’t see coming….

Enchanting and magical!

Darcy Merriweather is a resident Wishcrafter in an Enchanted Village. What does that mean? She has the power to grant people their wishes, as long as it's approved by the elders. But now, the only thing Darcy wishes is that she had the power to help her best friend a fellow witch uncover her invisible husband.

Starla never really thought she would see her ex-husband again. Not since the night he tried to kill her. Which in turn had left a lot of unanswered questions. How could the man she fell so in love with, change before her very eyes?

When her ex's family turns a cold shoulder on Starla and accuses her of making the thing up, things only turn for the worse when Kyle (the ex) turns up dead in Starla's home. With mounting evidence turning up against, it's up to Darcy to put this one to rest.

This was very original. I love the uniqueness of this series and how it's done. I especially loved the little magical town, full of very interesting characters. From familiars that talk to people with special powers living among people who do not have any. Darcy was charming, a loyal friend, trusting and compassionate. I totally fell in love with her character and wished I had her powers - heh wished.

The way the mystery turned out I thought was unique as well. Blake has crafted a really alluring series. I had the most difficult time putting this one down. I really wanted to know the big secret behind what happened to Kyle and why he treated Starla the way he did. What I got in return was news so heartbreaking, I could almost feel Starla's shattering pain and the unfairness of it. Especially since he is now gone.

By the end of the book I found myself in tears. Not only for Kyle, but for Darcy's best friend as well. I was so glad that the real ending was pulled together so well, and surprising kind of beautiful. With a touch of romance and some magic, this was a very heartwarming and really enjoyable read. In the end, I found myself wishing I could live in the enchanted village.
