Decent enough story with some weak points. I thought that the relationship happened pretty fast. Only a week and a half after she returned. It might have felt more realistic if they had had a solid relationship as teenagers, but they were a one night stand even if she did have a crush on him. nother thing, we have no idea what type of cancer she had. That left a bit of a vague hole in the story. Also I thought that the fact that she got pregnant after having had chemo needed more explanation. Chemo is known to cause infertility in many cases. I went and looked it up. You can get pregnant after chemo but only in certain cases. The vagueness all around bothered me.… (més)

"Witchcraft Is Her Family's Business.
No One Quits The Family And Lives To Tell About It."

When I read this description, I couldn't wait to read this book. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. Jax is a witch who wants to live a normal life, and since she can't do that in her coven (because they are straight up evil), she runs away. She goes to a small town up in the mountains of North Carolina, after leaving a false trail for her family to follow, because she knows that they won't let her just leave. She enrolls herself in high school and immediately meets Keller, a supernatural hunter. Here's where I have my first problem with this book - the dreaded instalove. Within a few days of meeting, they are inseparable and are falling in love. This is a pet peeve of mine, I'll admit. The characters (including Toni, Keller's cousin and Jax's new best friend) are likeable, but I would have liked a bit more time to get to know them before they started in on their romance. It made the story feel rushed. When the book deals with the supernatural aspects of the story, it was really enjoyable, but I had a hard time getting past the all consuming romance between Jax and Keller that really didn't make any sense because again, it was just too rushed. The book was a quick read, though, because it moved so fast.

In summary, I enjoyed the supernatural aspects of this book but can't say the same for the romantic aspects of it. I would be open to reading the next book in the series, though, to see if it fleshes out the characters more fully.

3/5 stars.… (més)

"For this full book I give it 3.4 out of 5 stars, each story was charming in its own way. I enjoyed the glimpses that we got of all the characters ... just some stories I wish were fleshed out a little more than others. Overall, I definitely recommend this anthology to any romance reader, especially for those who want to get into the "St. Patrick's Day spirit." "
