You know those little girls who dress up as Disney princesses in the bright, shimmery costumes and dream about their prince rescuing them?
That was never me.
In this story, it's the witch who saves the prince.
Ever since I joined the Wicked Society, my tarot readings are always about sacrifice for the greater good and martyrdom. In other words, any day now I’m going to lose something or someone I love. Evidently, my spirit guides are the ride or die types.
For years, I’ve asked the cards the same question about my crush. Will Tate Winthrop fall in love with me? The answer is always someday.
As in someday Tate will love me back.
Someday there won’t be a group of witches using dark magic to destroy our coven.
Someday I’ll stop having the same dream about a handsome prince with long blond dreadlocks kissing a woman wearing a sparkly, poofy, ball gown.
Someday my witch will come.
This is book two in the Wicked Society series of interconnected lighthearted paranormal romances with a cozy mystery twist.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
If we had to face off in hand-to-hand combat, I know I could
take her. I have at least four or five inches on her in height and she’s all
spindly where I’m built like a German beer calendar girl. In other words, she
better not come at me unless she wants the bratwurst. Or something. And I know
she can’t handle my schnitzel.
I might look like a freewheeling hipster, but beneath all
of this is the heart of an old man who carries hard candy in his cardigan’s
pockets and enjoys an early dinner hour.
My Review:
I don’t often read paranormal as I am far too lazy for all
the world-building and endless rules, but I don’t seem to mind the extra work
required to follow Daisy Prescott’s Wicked Society – a super secret
supernatural society of generations of witches, which seems to include much of
the movers and shakers and Who’s Who of Boston society. This installment has them on a caper for
stolen witch bones and the rather gruesome trick for their use – eww. Family curses, a ghost, and a constipated
love life were front and center. The
writing was laced with levity, banter, Sam-isms, and her humorous inner
musings.
