While this was not a book I would ordinarily choose to read, I’m glad I was one of the winners of a Goodreads contest. The practice of magic is banned in Zenobia, but someone has discovered that there are witches who still are conjuring. Love lives are upended, spells are failing disastrously, and surprises are around every corner. A fun and lighthearted read! Thanks to Kensington Publishing and Goodreads! #ALetterToThreeWitches **I received an advanced listening copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review** What could one letter from a not much loved cousin do to a family? In this story, quite a lot! Gwen and her cousins have a few days to track down exactly what will happen to one of their significant others, without using magic. But, of course, magic does come into play, creating situations of stress, humor, and ultimately, big discoveries. This is perfect for those looking for a light read filled with magic and witches. There is humor thrown into the narrative, and quite honestly some of the situations the group gets into are a bit embarrassing. It was great fun to listen to, and I greatly appreciated the dual narrations that included the perspective of the story from two of the main characters. A fine, breezy read. A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass Contemporary paranormal romance. On the lighter side of the genre. From a family of witches, Trudy, Gwen and Milo are prohibited from practicing magic. But a letter sent to them from Tannith threatening to run away with their significant other, has the three using magic for the first time in their lives. With staggering and unpredictable results. Funny situations, family eccentricity, and unique pets. It was a bit of a slow start for me but the addition of the housebound family member added some quirkiness and interest to the story. 🎧 I listened to an audiobook copy of this story narrated by Emily Durante and Nick Morelli. The majority of the book was from Gwen’s POV which was performed by Emily. She did a great job with voice variance, pauses, emotions and characters talking to each other. The conversational laugh, comment, pause made each character stand out clearly. 4 chapters were by Gris, the cat / Nick. Those were amusing and a fun POV. I listened to the recording at 1.25 speed for a comfortable conversation speed. I started with 1.0 for the first two chapters for nuance and clarity but the higher sped was preferred. The overall sound quality seemed a little tinny. Hoping that was just my preview copy. I received a copy of this from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Bewitched meets Practical Magic in this bubbly, quirky romantic comedy with an enchanted twist from acclaimed author Elizabeth Bass. When romance problems cause their powers to go berserk, a trio of witches whose family was banned from practicing magic risk getting in serious trouble with the Grand Council of Witches. Can they get their magic--and their love lives--in order before it's too late? In the sleepy college town of Zenobia, New York, the only supernatural trace on display is the name of Gwen Engel's business--Abracadabra Odd Job Service. But Gwen's family has some unusual abilities they've been keeping under wraps--until one little letter spells big trouble... Nearly a century ago, Gwen Engel's great-great-grandfather cast a spell with catastrophic side-effects. As a result, the Grand Council of Witches forbade his descendants from practicing witchcraft. The Council even planted anonymous snitches called Watchers in the community to report any errant spellcasting... Yet magic may still be alive and not so well in Zenobia. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive a letter from Gwen's adopted sister, Tannith, informing them that she's bewitched one of their partners and will run away with him at the end of the week. While Gwen frets about whether to trust her scientist boyfriend, currently out of town on a beetle-studying trip, she's worried that local grad student Jeremy is secretly a Watcher doing his own research. Cousin Trudy is so stressed that she accidentally enchants her cupcakes, creating havoc among her bakery customers--and in her marriage. Perhaps it's time the family took back control and figured out how to harness their powers. How else can Gwen decide whether her growing feelings for Jeremy are real--or the result of too many of Trudy's cupcakes? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
