I was super pleased with the books I chose this week and look forward to reading more in these series.
This weeks theme: Witches
Aimless Witch by Shannon Mayer - 4 Stars ****
“My name is Pamela, and I am a witch who has no equal.”
Or so I thought.
It has been three years since the Destroyer sundered our
world. The land is no longer whole, but broken into pieces, most technology
gone, and the continents shattered into an unrecognizable place.
New monsters have risen from the depths, adding danger on
top of danger. Through it all the humans fight to survive as they compete not
only with the supernaturals for food and resources, but their own kind as well.
And me? The caravans of humans I pass, they look to me to
save them.
Only I am not the witch I once was. Bound by those who fear
my power and my bloodline, I’m lucky if I can light a match with my magic,
never mind protect anyone but myself.
Now, the darkness in me rises, offering me all that I want.
Freedom from the chains I wear, and the power to make everything right. But if
I embrace the darkness I will face a cost I could never have imagined…
Witch Slapped by Dakota Cassidy - 4 Stars ****
What's a girl to do when she's a broke, shunned ex-witch
with a very tiny, very hungry bat familiar named Belfry to feed?
Hello. My name is Stevie Cartwright, and I've been witchless
for thirty days.
If only there was a support group for down-on-their-luck
ex-witches who've had their powers slapped right out of them (literally). Just
as I was licking my wounds after returning to my hometown of Ebenezer Falls,
WA, and navigating my suddenly non-magical existence with the help of my
familiar, the only friend I have left in the world—things got sticky.
Enter an ex-spy and newly departed spirit named
Winterbottom, who's infiltrated my life with his sexy British accent and a
couple of requests...
Thanks to Belfry's successful attempt to use me as a human
antenna to the afterlife, I can somehow hear Win. I should be ecstatic; helping
departed souls used to be my witch specialty. It's like I got the teensiest
piece of my old life back. Except Win's dropped me right at a dead woman's
feet.
Madam Zoltar, the town's beloved fake medium, has been
murdered, and Win wants me to catch the killer.
My old life won't be worth much if it gets me whacked before
my new life has barely begun--and that seems to be exactly what the killer has
planned!
Jinxed by K B Everly - 4 Stars ****
Never cross a Craft witch...
Christi Craft is the name and being witchy is my game!
I own a little shop in rural Salem, filled with all manner
of fun things; priceless heirlooms, cursed artifacts, bath bombs, Spills
(magically spelled pills, if you get my drift). You know, harmless things.
However, Milo James, a sexy AF Warlock Warden, disagrees.
He's always giving me citations and fines for selling my cursed artifacts to
humans who don't know any better. I’ve known him most of my life, and he sees
me as a little sister – at least, that’s how he treats me. Dang it…
If that's not enough, Orrin, my Incubus lover, suddenly
wants more from me than just an occasional roll in the sheets. On top of that,
I have to deal with this poltergeist I unknowingly acquired with a recent
purchase. He's demanding I solve his murder. What he doesn't seem to grasp is
that I suck at being a witch.
But things aren't what they seem when it comes to this
spirit, and I'm not sure I can help him on my own. With or without my power.
Black Spells and Twisted Souls by Cece Rose - 3 Stars ***
Kayla Harlow is an unlucky witch.
Between a mysterious fae prince with no sense of modesty or
boundaries showing up, having to call a vengeance spirit, and more demons than
she ever expected or wanted to meet appearing in her living room, an iced latte
spilled all over her new dress is suddenly the least of her worries.
When white magic won’t save her, and black magic will taint
her soul, what’s a witch to do?
The Day the Witch Stood Still by Ruby Raine - 3 Stars ***
It's not every day an old flame reappears in your life come
to tell you someone you loved has been murdered—for being a witch—and that
you're next on the kill list—because you're a witch too!
These books are not recommended for younger readers and
these characters really like four letter words. It's a little bit cozy mystery,
a little bit paranormal romance, a little bit urban fantasy, and a whole lot of
supernatural trouble.
All Dani Harper wanted was a vacation in the one place she
could still call home.
After tragedy strikes and she loses her mother, Dani needs a
dose of the next best thing—her Aunt Marni, her three never seemingly aging
Siamese cats, some much needed summer sun, and endless moonlight and mojitos
under the bright starry island sky each night.
What she got, was thrown into the middle of two murder
investigations, an old flame—in the form of the sexy local police chief—telling
her the supernatural not only exists, but that she's a witch with a price on
her head. He offers protection from this supernatural hitman, but Dani soon
finds out its her heart and soul that needs the protection most because she's
falling—again—for Galen Wilde, and he's got a supernatural secret of his own.
I really enjoyed these reads, I hope you see something you'd like to try.
As always, thank you for stopping by.
