Review: Two Peas in a Potion

Two Peas in a Potion by Samantha Silver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tow Peas in a Potion is the second book in the new Western Woods Mystery series.

Tina is new to the paranormal world, only recently finding out that she is a witch and moving to Western Woods. There are just some things that bother her about the paranormal world, the most important being that certain jobs and tasks are reserved for certain types of paranormals, and the fact that each type tends to stay to themselves. She is determined to do what she can to change it, but first, her roommate Sara is in trouble.

Sara is an amazing flyer, and finally found a job ferrying lawyers to appointments, but this morning her first fare has dropped dead. To make matters worse it was a popular elf, who are basically immortal so to have one drop dead is big news.

Tina and her roommates, Sara, Ellie and Amy end up investigating and trying to clear Sara's name.

This is a cute new series on witchcraft that is different than most of the stories on the market. The segregation in the paranormal world is something that is unusual for the books, and the isolation from the human world is another.

Review: Back to Spell One

Back to Spell One by Samantha Silver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Back to Spell One is the first book in the Western Woods Mystery. Lately I have been on a witchcraft reading kick, and so I am always browsing my Kindle Unlimited listings for something new.

Back to Spell One starts in Seattle, with your average young adult woman, trying to make a life for herself, working as a waitress at a bar and saving money for college. After one long night at the bar, Tina is followed home by a drunk patron, and in the process she falls into a portal to another world, the paranormal world.

Tina has always believed that the paranormal world was a myth, now all the sudden she finds herself in the middle of the paranormal world and the fact that she herself is indeed a paranormal, a witch in fact.

As Tina tries to adjust to this new knowledge, there is a rare murder in the paranormal town of Western Woods, and some people feel like its not a coincidence that there is someone new in town, that she just might be the one who committed the murder. Luckily Tina's new friends are willing to help her and they investigate the murder to find out who did it and clear Tina's name.

This is a cute new storyline. Although it is the classic young girl finds out late in life he is a witch story, it is told a little different and the paranormal world is somewhat different than most other books. This was a good introduction to a new series and was well written and interesting.

I am looking forward to the next book in the series and finding out more about Tina's history.

Review: Fake Out

Fake Out by Eden Finley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So I picked this book, not reading anything about it, and I a thinking it would be something completely different than what it was.

It was a good book, but not something I would normally read.

The title was Fake Boyfriend, and so I figured that it would be about someone hiring a fake boyfriend, but I never thought it would be a same sex romance.
It was well written and a good book, but not something that I would normally read.
