Finished
Furious and was a bit piqued that it just stopped. The crew is all dressed up with somewhere to go, so I need to get my hands on the next book to see what unfolds. In the meantime, I enjoyed reading the next
In Death mystery,
Fantasy in Death, by Nora Roberts writing as J D Robb.
Then I plunged into
A Different Witch by Debora Geary, which I borrowed in June from the Kindle Lending Library. As soon as I finished reading it, I returned it and borrowed
A Celtic Witch as my July selection. I'm enjoying this
Modern Witch series very much. First off, the witches have discovered that technology, and particularly the Internet, is a new mystical "element" like the basics of earth, water, air, and fire. Some witches -- particularly those who are programmers -- have an affinity for tech and can work magic there. And, the stories are simply good. There's a bit of romance, but no explicit anything. There's wholesome family interaction including a great deal of humor in trying to keep a precocious 1 year old witchling from burning down her house as she explores her affinity for fire magic.
In
A Different Witch, the families at Witch Central meet a young witch who comes to them for training. Beth simply doesn't fit in, which doesn't surprise her at all since she's struggled with her Asperger's all of her life. As she learns to trust her trainers and as they learn to respect that she approaches magic very differently, everyone grows a bit.
