Ok, of the three Jane Madison books, this was my least favourite :(. I found the whole thing with Ariel unnecessary, and slightly confusion as well. I couldn't get a grasp on what her real purpose was. I mean, I understood that she was created in order to harness Jane's powers again, but I jus...
I'm a fan of Mindy's fantasy romances (Jane Madison etc) so was happy to try a straight romance (even though it's not something I pick up often). It was a good, breezy read. However, I was a little disappointed that there were some unresolved threads that the author deemed unimportant to wrap up ...

I swore, not entirely succeeding in keeping my curse under my breath. I planted my hands on my hips and said to Teresa, “You have got to be kidding.” “I never ‘kid’ about witchcraft.” Of course she didn’t. Not when she was the strongest Coven Mother in the Eastern Empire. Not when she’d held that...
The woman who perched near Gran was Nuri. Even without Neko’s or David’s clarification, I knew that both creatures were tied closely to their witches, bound much more tightly than Neko and I had ever been connected.Give me credit for something—I’d checked the calendar before I decided on this des...
“Open the door, Jane.” David’s voice was low, urgent. “Leave me alone.” “We need to talk.” “There isn’t anything to say.” “Dammit, Jane!” His fist thudded against the door. He wasn’t trying to break it down; he could have done that easily enough if he’d wanted to. “Go away!” Another door opened. ...
She sighed and rolled onto her back. It must be raining outside. She usually got some glimmer of light from the front room. She flicked on the bedside lamp, and her gaze was snagged by the ring on her finger. Collapsing against her pillow, she turned her wrist in the wan yellow light. It was real...
“You don’t need to wait on me like I’m a houseguest,” Kat insisted. “I can put the teakettle on to boil.” Still, Susan fussed. “I just want you to rest that foot. You need it to heal, if you’re going to get back to New York. Does it still hurt a lot?” Kat shrugged. She didn’t pay a lot of attenti...
At least the bride and groom weren’t in danger of repenting any time soon. It seemed like this wedding was never going to happen—and the sweltering church had just reached a temperature that felt a lot closer to Hell than to Heaven. The ceremony should have started an hour earlier, and there was ...
In the past hour, the front counter where people usually ordered their gourmet coffees had been transformed into an extravagant landscape of sliced cakes and pies, with tempting brownies and cookies filling in the few empty spaces. The small tables scattered around the popular gathering spot had ...
“That’s it,” she crooned. “Almost there…A little more…More…Curl your fingers…Perfect! Hold it! Yes! Oh, yes! That’s it! Perfect!” She lowered her camera and stepped away from her subject, smiling in victory. Some photo shoots took forever—soothing a nervous client, cajoling them to relax, spendin...

Batting practice was in full swing, with the Rockets’ power hitters behind the plate. Kyle was shagging fly balls in right field, keeping an eye on the practice pitcher throwing strike after strike. Tyler Brock had just soared three in a row over the fence at center field, making it look easy. Ky...
It had taken hours for the Image Masters librarian to scare up a number for Mickey’s—something about the bar being registered under a different name and all the employees being paid under the table. She was about to hang up and try again when a wheezy voice finally answered: “Mickey’s.” “May I pl...
He’d listened carefully when Zach Ormond gave him Emily’s address. He’d repeated it back, setting it in his memory. He’d spoken it into his phone the first chance he got, clearly and precisely, and he’d watched the map spin out across the Raleigh metro area. And he’d gotten hopelessly lost drivin...
