A little more of the magic is fleshed out in Bewitched and the romance is progressing along nicely. Between finding some lost things, helping those in danger, fighting a malevolent spirit and being kidnapped she is having a heck of a week. Thrown into more danger and getting a better feel for the powers she is trying to deny, Defiance is really coming into her own.

I love a good Alpha man that is patient and doesn’t take and bullshit from the heroine, especially as Defiance is trying to convince everyone her magic is gone. Annette is so funny and free spirited that she is just so much fun to see on page with Defiance as they girl banter and play off each other. She is so busy trying to get out of being magical and wanting to run away from her new life that I struggle with the woman who just found out she has some very awesome magic and is more powerful that most witches.Ī few things this series really has going for it are the plucky best friend, Annette and the love interest, Roane. But, mostly I’m really frustrated by her well defiant nature. Sometimes I really like her and all the funny witty stuff that comes out of her mouth. It picks up about six months after the end to the Betwixt, after Defiance does some pretty heavy duty magic that knocks her out for awhile.ĭefiance and I aren’t clicking really well yet.

Whoever said life begins at forty was clearly a master of the underappreciated and oft maligned understatement.īewitched is the second book of the series Betwixt and Between series, which follows a middle-aged woman who recently found out she has magic when her grandmother died and left her a house possessed by the spirit of her dead father. No one told her life after forty would mean having to learn new lifeskills-such as how to dodge supernatural assassins while casting from a moving vehicle-or that the sexiest man alive would be living in her basement. And there are other witches who will stop at nothing to steal her immense power, which would basically involve her unfortunate and untimely death. Added to that was the teensy, infinitesimal fact that she is what’s called a charmling. Published by Tantor Audio on March 30, 2021įorty-something Defiance Dayne only recently discovered she comes from a long line of powerful witches. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
