I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Another great book from one of my favorite authors. Highly recommend to friends and family.

A great read and would highly recommend reading it. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

Witches have nice grandfathers who give them recipe books it seems, who give them jewels too, and sometimes they are wizards too, but meeting the boyfriends’ family is an whole ‘nother matter.. But still, you take a pie don’t you? Especially one made from Grandpa’s recipe book.
And it isn’t good when Iman finds that her boyfriend’s sisters are witches too and want something she has that Grandpa gave her, and no, it isn’t the recipe book.
Iman hadn’t expected this as Troy is a normal and she had thought all his family were too, unlike hers – after all Grandpa was chief wizard (see Book 1 for details of their romance).
It is a short book - but part of a set of 5 – only 40 print pages – thus good for young adults who prefer not to read complicated story lines. Consider all 5 as one book in reality. This is book 2 in the series which is easy enough to enter as a standalone.
The writing is light and moves along at a good pace with short chapters, a magical battle and enchanted objects. The ending could leave you wanting more – and if you want it enough there are 3 more to read.. I wasn’t bothered.

It was not what I expected, the cover called me a lot since it is a witch and I like those stories a lot! I realized that it was the second part, it is a lot of history for such a short book!

Nice theme and ist seemed to be an interesting Book. But it has only a few chapters so it is more like a short story.

So...this was tough to get through. Not because it's long, or because it's difficult, but because it just isn't good. On page one, the protagonist's boyfriend is "snor[ing] away like a gummy bear." What does that even mean? And she loves their apartment in Phoenix, where she can see the ocean from her window? In Phoenix??? She turned on music from her "tablet device?" She got on top of him, "pleasing his manhood morning glory?" And then there's this:

"Looking for something?" she stirringly asked.
"Yeah, I left something of mine in the bathroom"
She moved herself from the door and I entered and had sigh of relief when I found the diamond still sitting there.
"That's quite a charming stone you hold!" she said, almost sounding line an evil source of something.

It's entirely possible that English isn't the author's first language; in fact, this reads a lot like that's the case. And, frankly, I applaud anyone who puts pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and writes a book. But this just isn't good.

I received a free ARC. I am leaving my honest review.

Although I didn't read the first book, it wasn't really necessary in order to read this sequel.

To be very blunt, I didn't like this book.

First, many of the descriptions were nonsensical What does describing someone sleepng like "a gummy bear" mean?

Second, the writing needs work. It comes across as juvenile and overblown. If a character is well written, it is unnecessary to have that character continually describe themselves in glowing terms, such as having a perfect pedicure.

This isn't the kind of reading I enjoy.

I thought that the book was okay - the author seemed to jump from situation to situation. I wanted to have more explanation to the movements made - the fights, the spells, how the Mc is helped by her parents when she went to her grandpa’s aid. This book just seemed to have some missing pieces that would provide support and complete the story.

Although I wanted to die hard love this one because of course WITCHES!! I found that it just had way to much going on for a 37 page book. I think that if this would have slowed down and been longer it would have worked out much better. I did enjoy the characters and would love to see a full fledged novel about them.
