Another great installment to the series. Exciting adventure, revisiting old characters in a different way, new characters--there was a LotR-esque fellowship going on for awhile--and romance and suspense. My one complaint was I got really tired of the whole "someone's chasing us, now someone else ...
I enjoyed the latest installment more than the last few. I felt that the story line from the previous books were getting pretty stagnant. "Kiss and Spell" finally made progress in Katie's and Owen's relationship. With the last few books, I was beginning to wonder why the two of them were together...
To-do: Stop the bad guys. Rescue the wizard. Find the perfect outfit for New Year’s Eve. At last, Owen Palmer, the dreamboat wizard at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has conjured up the courage to get Katie Chandler under the mistletoe at the office holiday party. But just when it looks li...
Everything’s bigger in Texas–including romance, magic, and danger! Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle h...
Her second reaction was: “Oh God, you mean there are two Sophies? If they ever meet and team up, we’re doomed.” Her third reaction was: “Wait a second—if there’s a Sophie who’s been living in fairyland all this time, there’s no way that throne would still be empty.” “The human girl who was taken ...
Michael stood at the balustrade overlooking Bethesda Terrace and checked his watch one more time. His pulse quickened with anticipation. The first time he’d seen one of these markets, he’d had no idea what was happening. He’d tried to rationalize an entire festival materializing out of thin air...
Henry whispered into my ear. His breath was warm on my neck, but it made me shiver. “How will we get in?” I whispered in reply. “I don’t know.” I couldn’t help but think of another time I’d hid with a young man while patrols went past. Alec had sheltered me like this when he’d pretended we were b...
“Oh?” Lord Henry said with the mild interest he usually showed for Flora’s talk of clothing. “Then I can tell the servants we don’t have to keep an armed watch tonight. Will there be a curfew? I’m studying nocturnal species, and my research will be hampered if I can’t go out at night.” The govern...
“I can’t believe you’re dragging me to the ballet,” Mari grumbled as she and Michael waited in the lobby for the theater doors to open. “I told you, it’s Emily’s sister and Emily can’t be here, but she wanted there to be some familiar faces in the audience, so she gave me her tickets.” “Yeah, b...
That department was secured. Owen usually anticipated my arrival and opened the door for me, but the point of this visit was that Owen wasn’t there, so that wouldn’t work.I settled for the tried-and-true strategy of hanging around and waiting for someone else to either come or go and open the doo...
I said softly, more to myself than to Mom. “Aren’t they gorgeous?” “They’re beautiful,” she agreed. “But aren’t they a little flashy for you?” “You were just saying I needed to be more sophisticated and glamorous.” A salesman...
