Perfect Pending (Witches of Gales Haven #1)

You know, as a 43-year-old woman I am loving this newish Paranormal Women\’s Fiction genre. Getting to have all the paranormal fun with heroines that are my own age is a hoot. As with any genre some of the ones I\’ve read have been better than others. I\’d call this one middle of the road. The writing and editing are perfectly readable. But the whole thingwith militant hedgehog mothers, talking mice, sex obsessed geriatrics, etcwas just a little too over the top cutesy for me. It felt very much like it was trying too hard. Having said that, I liked Marla and her kids. (And the kids were tolerable. So often kids in such books are ridiculous in one manner or another.) I appreciate that the love interest was gentle and kind, no alpha jerk in sight. And the theme that family persists is a good one. All in all, I\’d read another Ashta book.

I loved the characters, particular the aunts, who have very unique but funny personalities. well, two of the three aunts were funny. But the third could cook like a master chef. The heroine is newly divorced and headed home to her grandmother and aunts where everyone is a witch or warlock and indulgence is encouraged. Women comprise most of the population, and the women are strong willed, empowered, and nurturing. But the town\’s safety has been compromised. This was a fast paced story even if it was first in series. The author skillfully world built and character developed while things were going fast tracking from bad to disastrous. Great book.

Belief came before proof. You had to believe you could achieve something before it happened. As with life, so with magic. Without faith, and the courage to trust in that faith, youd never reach your highest potential. This book was so much fun,I could hardly wait for #2-and for those who know I NEVER EVER pay full price for a book. That\’s how much I loved this book. If you like \”midlife maven\” books; and realize I am an elder; you will love Marla and the magic in Gale Haven. On to book 2! Highly Recommended 5+/5

This book was fun! The mom retired to the magic hometown that she was born in, taking her two children go were born in the normal world. In order to get into the town the children had to have magic to get in. Turns out they did but until that day they were unaware of it. After reuniting with her love from 19 years ago, lots of adventure occurs throughout the book to hold the town together. You have to read this book – I can\’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This is my first book by this author so wasnt sure what to expect but gotta say was very pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed this book! Its got the magic(of course),its got suspense and most of all its got an overall light hearted humor thing going on. Great read and would definitely recommend you read this!
