The Trouble with Magic

An interesting cast of characters! It took me a while to get used to the main character, who could be very opinionated sometimes, but I enjoyed the mystery.

This was entertaining, but like other books featuring a self-conscious female lead, I found myself getting frustrated with the budding investigator. Why is the killer so obvious to everyone except the person investigating?! sigh

I enjoyed this first book of the Bewitching Mystery series. I liked how Maggie learned about Felicity and about herself. I look forward to the next book in the series, A Charmed Death.

This was a fun read. Light but interesting.

I thought this book might be perfect for me. Combining magic and mystery seemed right up my alley, unfortunately it was not a match made in heaven.

The premise is interesting Maggie is nearing the dreaded thirties, feels she has not done much with her life, wants out of her dead end job in collections. One morning she falls (literally) into a new job. What I wished was that there was slightly more time to develop a relationship between Felicity and Maggie. I am all about letting go of reality and believing what is going on in a book. But the instant connection was just a little much. They seem to know each other perfectly but they just met. I have a hard enough time believing this between a romantic couple than a boss/employee relationship.

I did find Marcus Quinn rather interesting. I thought her friend Steph was a bit sterotypical but perhaps she develops her more further in the series. I had the same impression with Maggie's family. I did like Ted the cop but overall I thought it was a tough read (and I don't mean that in a this is an amazing classic book tough read). I will most likely not read anymore of the series.

an entertaining light read.
