Feeling in a witchy mood ? Wanting a nice light-hearted witch read ?
Review: No Shoes , No Shirt, No Spells - Mystic Cafe Series #1- June 2011
Are you into nice, light-hearted tales ? Did you grow up watching shows like Bewitched or Sabrina the Teenage Witch ? Movies like The Witches of Eastwick , Pratical Magic , Hocus Pocus ? In ways , reading Rose's book No Shoes, No Shirt, No Spell was similar to Janet Evanovich's Wicked Appetite and PC Cast's series The Goddess Summoning series.
In No Shoes, No Shirt, No Spells we meet Elly Blair, desperate to restart her life after an horrible relationship with her now ex-fiance and the job from hell recieves what at the time she thought was a nice idea - a relaxation holiday to stay with her Grandmother Imelda in Florida. However, Grandma has an alternate agenda up her sleeves - as the owner of Mystic Cafe , she is finding herself getting too old to cope with everything - spells and recipes etc. She has realised that it is time to pass on the torch and since Elly's mother is more interested in cleaning than cooking it's Elly's turn. This would have been all fine and dandy but Elly has never been very good at either cooking and especially not controlling her magic and spells. When on one occasion , a handsome customer takes a bite of a burger meant for somebody else - containing a sexy love charm it seems that Rory has soon captivated the hearts of all the females in the town - Elly being one of them , though of course she must decide whether the feelings of love are true love or a result of magical forces ? Now Elly must try and come up with a spell to reverse the love charm before it's too late and Rory finds himself snatched up by another townswomen . If this wasn't bad enough , her spell and it's results have captured the eyes and ears of the National Organisation of Magic and if Elly can't reverse the spell then it's bye-bye to the Mystic Cafe and her Grandmother's legacy. Can Elly save the Mystic Cafe as well as reverse the spell and find true love with Rory ?
Perfect for readers of the Accidental series by Dakota Cassidy and The Accidental Witch by Annette Blair.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
