Magical Mayhem (Witches of Gales Haven #2)

Using the word empowering over and over? A normal biological act is empowering? Really? Can men claim having an erection in the morning as \”empowering\”? Do men get to be mad at women if men talk about it nonstop, throw the information into women\’s faces every chance they get, and the women don\’t care to hear about it? All men are stupid, fat, and/or ugly. The only acceptable male is ripped, quiet, does whatever the woman wants, and is \”sensitive\”. The women rule the town and all the men follow meekly? Lucia Ashton, you are a hypocrite. All through this book, older \”heavier\” women are told to love their body and then men will automatically love them back. Heavy, even fat, from the description, woman is told she is perfect the way she is. A man who apparently has the same weight issues is taken to task in the MC\’s head and that\’s OK? He is supposed to not be fat, but it\’s OK for the women to be fat. This is comedy? This is equality? Well, to be fair, Ms. Aston never mentions equality in this book. It is obvious the only equality Ms. Ashton wants is the choice between left or right when putting a boot on a man\’s neck. Is this really what you women want?

Wow what an adventure Marla goes on this time! Marla gets stuck becoming the new detective in town. Thanks to Nan, & no one argues with Nan. Marla just wanted to find a normal job. However it seems like in Gales Haven there is no such thing. When someone starts stealing things in town Marla gets her first case. She is also told to take 4 people & Mindy (the snarky hedgehog) along to help her. All her Aunts manage to do is embarrass her though. The chaos that ensues as Marla tried to solve this case is hilarious. Marla doesn\’t understand how others see her. Like many women she only sees what she considers flaws. She can\’t help but point out what she hates about her body. However Quade doesn\’t see her body the same way. He loves it just the way it is. Quade is a very special guy, it\’s hard to find a guy like that. Poor Marla the whole town knows thanks to Nan, if they hadn\’t already heard from the local gossip. And word travels fast in Gales Haven! I really loved this book. Especially Lucia\’s new words like fooking & shemexy. Really made me laugh. Can\’t wait for the next adventure.

The Gawamas are a family of characters that keep you laughing at their outrageous behavior but also make you care at all the love they share for one another. It\’s heartwarming to know that when you are truly loved you can go home again. And becoming the town\’s resident detective and chasing a spanx stealing leprechaun only seems to be the beginning of Marla\’s new life after coming back home! Look forward to the next magical adventure.

This book was amazing! Funny and insightful into the world of Magical Creatures. So much happening with every turn of the page that I could not put it down. I laughed so hard at times I cried! I can hardly wait for Charmed Capers! This is a must read!!

If we as women have to age at least it should be fun and this series that\’s what you get one wild adventure after another. I can\’t wait to see what happens next.
