I have to say .. this book has a lot of reviews and is very popular. I get why. I just don't agree. I thought that the book was about Lauren (and props to the people who can't remember the lead female character name, it's just not that interesting to MAKE it memorable) and yet we spend more of th...
This was a fun quick read. Yes it is more stream of consciousness than plot driven but still fun. The historical accounting of Salem was way off. The only witch burnings were in Europe during the Inquistion not America, we just hung and pressed people to death. And the discriptions of how to do a...
Attirata dal titolo ho comprato questo romanzo, non aspettandomi certo chissà che cosa. Anche la copertina mi ha attratto molto, ma dalla trama in quarta di copertina non mi aspettavo certamente un classico della letteratura, quindi l’ho preso per quello che è, un libro di intrattenimento. La sto...
And with this book my adventure with the Modern Witch series ended...TragicallyThe first book it was neither bad nor good... it just left me with a funny feeling of emptiness...I found this one just plainly stupid... Really, I can't find any other word for it... I can't really understand all the ...
I struggled between a 2 and a 3. I liked the characters from the first book and wanted to know more about them. However, the whole spell coding, gaming stuff was just dumb and there was way too much of it. I'm a big paranormal and fantasy fan, but even I can only suspend my disbelief so much. It ...
One word: Devin!I have such a crush on the reckless, free-spirited man-boy! He becomes an honorary brother to the 'reckless witch' in the title of Geary's third installment in this series. Excessive 'cookie eating' and 'punk witchling' name tags aside, I have only good things to say about this se...
I could call these books a guilty pleasure but I don't feel the least bit guilty. They have all been a delight, touching, inspiring, fun. While the books are heavy on the fantasy I quickly connect how like real life they are and conclude that every person has magic in them waiting to get out, w...
3 star beginning... I actually put it down and left it for a month or so. Picked it up to finish because it was light and quick to read after that massive book about Victorian London. Once I started again I ploughed through it, finishing with a slightly confusing but 5 star ending. Marcus is defi...
There's nothing like a good hearty dose of the cozy yet huge and crazy Witch Central family. By this fifth instalment I've got a soft spot for the whole bunch of characters in this series. It helps that the author is pretty good at writing the inner life of her characters that sometimes tugs at m...
This book had me from the beginning, but that is nothing new with Debora Geary's books. I love her style of writing, and since I began reading her, my life at home has come to a stand still. It hasn't been since I read the Earth's Children book series that I have invested so much of my heart into...
This is the last book in Elsie and Lizard's WitchLight journey. They both have lots of choices to make before the office cal end and the start of their new lives. The strangest thing about this series is the complete absence of Jennie's husband. He doesn't even have a name. This is particular...
Not my favorite in the series. This one was a little too romancy for me, but I doubt most would consider it a romance book. It could be that Nell is not my favorite character, although I now really like Daniel and really got to know Retha more in this one. I should have read this one first, bu...
What a great way to close out Marcus, Morgan and Cassidy's story! Just a short and very quick read to tie all the loose ends together. This was a gift from Deborah to keep our appetites whetted until the final book in the series is released later this year. It is what I would expect from this par...
This is a short, sweet and funny story about Jake, who is a Sentinel. He has been recruited to an area that has been sadly neglected and as such, he finds that a lot of witches have fallen through the cracks. He says that he is not a knight in shining armour, preferring references to Jean-Luc P...
I have absolutely loved every one of the Modern Witch/Witch Central books, but this one left me disgruntled.A happily married couple, with a wonderful healthy daughter, living an incredible life. And Nat (wife) and her friends spend 80% of the book gnashing their teeth and bemoaning the fates be...
This has to be one of the worst books I've ever read. I don't know how I finished it. I guess I thought it would get better? Problems I have with this book:1. Nothing ever happens. 2. Jennie is supposed to be this amazing, wise mentor, but she has two other people do all the work and only complai...
Really enjoyed this story. As another reviewer said, it left you wanting more. Can't help but wonder if Geary won't return to this world someday. I read this book after I'd read every other single possible Witch Central (Geary's Modern Witch series (of series! lol) related stories available (at t...
I've enjoyed all of the "Modern Witch" stories as well as the "Witch Lights", they've been lighthearted and fast reads, but this one had me in tears a few times. Ms. Geary has reached a depth of emotion that had me wondering a few times if there was a ghostwriter involved. Sadly, I read her note ...
Complete with a water-pistol spell that took aim at anyone over four feet tall who seriously abused the number two. Nat chuckled. “Any more and the porch might have needed some engineering help.”Trust his wife to be the practical one. Or not—6 a.m. yoga this morning had involved a lot of wigs,...
Edric raised his staff to the sky.“We gather here, upon this soil, upon this dayTo witness and bless this union destinedby stars and earth and love unending.With hearts full and power steadfast,We call into the circle those who will stand with Devin Sullivan and Lauren McCready.”Hand in hand, she...
“You’re a saint.”“Nope.” She could hear his gentle grin. “Just hungry.”It sounded like such a typical morning in their cottage. And if you couldn’t hear and feel all the undertones, you might even believe it. Two people trying to lighten each other’s loads.Maybe it was time to talk about it ...
She smiled, clearly amused. “If you’re trying to make me feel old, mission accomplished.”There was nothing remotely old about the woman standing in front of him. She radiated easy power—the kind that said she could be president, helm a starship, or feed a hundred people dinner without breaking ...
And I said, “I think I’ll throw some money in the well.” And the young woman, we know her name now, Marissa, she was facing me, a few feet away, and when I said, “I think I’ll throw some money in the well,” she heard, “Pink Snowbunny in Hell.” No, Officer Melendez, I didn’t know at the time, of c...
Feathers This fire didn’t have the spiritual energy of the last. But it called to Moira’s Irish heart in an entirely different way.She’d noted that Costa Ricans liked to play. To spend time simply being with each other, and to enjoy the pastimes of small children. The generations intertwined h...
Crystals, anything? I have some new floral tea you might like, too. Moira: Tea would be lovely, and another jar of your lotion. And perhaps you have something that would make a gift for my Elorie? It’s her birthday next week. Nell: Glad you mentioned that. Do you have any ideas for what she might...
No one had bothered to mention that there was a mile-long hike to get onto Tabletop Rock, and most of it was uphill. Kids who spent their formative years in juvie tended to either love or hate being in the outdoors. Give her a good theater any day. She appreciated wide-open spaces, she just prefe...
