Spells and Slip-ups Annie Anderson (The Wrong Witch, #1) Publication date: July 5th 2022 Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy I suck at witchcraft. Coming from a long line of famous witches, I should be at the top of the heap. Problem is, if there is a spell cast anywhere in my vicinity, I will somehow mess it up. As a probationary agent with the Arcane Bureau of Investigation, I have two choices: I can limp along and maybe pass myself off as a competent agent, or I can fail. Miserably. Worse news? If I can’t get my act together, I may not only be out of a job, I could also lose my life. Whose idea was this again? Goodreads / Amazon — EXCERPT: “Get out,” he barked, crossing his beefy arms over his substantial belly. “Ain’t no way I’m gonna let a Bannister tromp all over my shop.

Review: Taken By Evil - Book #2 Bridget Bishop FBI Series - Melinda Woodhall - April 2022 As readers, we all have authors that we see as our must-reads whenever they release a new book. One of them for me is Melinda Woodhall. I have always enjoyed her thrillers and I love how over all her series; she connects the characters. In this particular series, our crossover characters are our FBI agents Tristan Hale and Charlie Day, along with Opal - our ME and Viv - all of these characters we have seen in other series by Melinda Woodhall. Taken by Evil has a couple of wonderful storylines our main one being the guest motivational speaker Tate Evans. Tate is all about leaving the past in the past, which makes sense after what he went through as a child but someone from his past who people assumed was dead is back with a vengeance. Back when Tate was young, he was sent to live on a boy's ranch, and here he met Champ who also suffered abuse at the hands of the ranch leaders. Champ sees Tate a

Review: Angel's Choice - Lauren Baratz-Logsted - December 2006 As a mood reader, often I will know that I want to read but I don't know what I want to read and it can be a hard decision. Often, in this case, I just scroll through until a title or author jumps out at me and I am like - ok, I will read this one. In Angel's Choice, again despite it being an older YA book - it is quite relevant to the current situation going on about the abortion bill, etc. Angel's choice introduces us to teen Angel who on a bit of a revenge hook-up at a party ended up with a guy named Tim O'Mara, he isn't the guy she would have normally hooked up but she was angry and jealous at Danny - the one she loves. Angel ends up having her first time with Tim, not that she can remember it as she was drunk and it wasn't very memorable. At the end of the night, Tim gives her his number and says "call me if you get pregnant". Two months later, Angel makes that phone call and we
