This book was given 4.5 stars by Romantic Times Book
Reviews. Now I don’t know the folks at
Romantic Times and this is not intended to be critical but most guys would be
somewhat put off with that accolade. Up
front, I enjoyed the book and I avoid romance novels like the plague. The book involves a witch and her single
father boyfriend demon as they face an evil wizard and disappearing
children.
Ms. Bennett takes an unlikely scenario and populates it with
likeable and believable characters. The
protagonists are not super hero/heroine types.
They have foibles and faults and quirks. They do dumb things and pay for them. A great plot can be dragged down with crass
characters just as a pool plot can be bolstered by great
characterizations.
This is by no means a poor plot; it has some substance and
provides a strong level of mystery. You
find yourself enjoying the mystery and those of you who are leery of the
supernatural, it is more like the icing than the cake. This book is a very good mix that produces a
very palatable read. Hmm, it is approaching dinner time, I find my food
references increase in dramatic proportion to my appetite.
I recommend it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
