Magic Meltdown

Ever After by Kim Harrison

by Leave a Comment

I finally finished Ever After during the spring Dewey’s read-a-thon. It was a doozy of a long read with nearly 13 hours on audio. It was kinda perfect for a reading marathon. This is the eleventh book in The Hollows series by Kim Harrison and this one doesn’t hold back. Beware of mild spoilers for the previous books below! Rachel Morgan is a former government agent turned private detective of sorts. She lives with her best friends Jenks, a sassy pixie, and Ivy, a devilishly […]

Fae politics are messy to say the least

Grave Destiny by Kalayna Price

by Leave a Comment

Grave Destiny is the sixth book in Kalayna Price’s Grave Witch series. In this world, witches and fae exist. Alex Craft grew up a witch but discover she has a secret magic heritage. This book is all about her figuring more about her special powers and solving yet another mystery in the faerie realm. A noble is murdered and made to look like the Shadow court is involved. Dugan who we met in previous books hires Alex to figure out the truth. He is an […]

The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman

by Leave a Comment

Twenty two years after the publication of Practical Magic, Alice Hoffman fired up the ol’ Owens Family Cauldron to brew up (I apologize for NOTHING) the story of “The Aunts”. Before Jet and Franny were kooky caregivers with cupboards full of teeth and dove hearts, they were kids squirming under the overbearing but uninvolved eyes of their midcentury modern parents. Necessarily, when re-approaching a well-defined but of-its-time creation, one must get a little creative with facts and figures. Practical Magic was already a bit screwy with time, […]

Kicking It by Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price

by 1 Comment

When the ‘rona hit, I found it hard to concentrate on a book. If you’re in a slump, I highly recommend trying an anthology from your favorite genre. Kicking It was edited by Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price. I haven’t read any Jane Yellowrock books, but her story made me order the first book. I stumbled across the anthology more so for Price who wrote the Alex Craft books, which was my be favorite series from last year. I took a lot of breaks between […]

Tricks? Nope! Only Treats Here!

Goblin Moon by Jacqueline Rogers

Witch's Cat: Apply Within by Joy H. Davidson

The Ghosts Go Marching by Claudia H Boldt

Little Poet Edgar Allan Poe: Nevermore! by Kate Coombs

by Leave a Comment

Halloween is the most awesome holiday. I am known for going overboard for a costume (two and a half hours for hair and makeup anyone?) and scarfing down candy. But I also like the fun books that come out of it. Since this year, things are a little different and if you are not going to be able to (or do not want to) go on a traditional trick-or-treating night, I suggest finding these books and starting a reading treat night. Goblin Moon by Jacqueline […]
