What an enjoyable treat!

I had so much fun reading this book. New author for me , and one I'll most definitely read more of in future. WARNING: possible triggers for some, but it's not a deep, dark book. At the core is a woman determined to change the direction of her life. After years of just existing, and taking far more than she should...she takes her beloved daughter and runs. Far from a fairytale story, but my goodness was it fun. Interesting and unique characters, definitely a surprise or two for our main gal. The magic of new beginnings, New faith in one's self, mothers love that can do just about anything, and a woman truly coming into her own run through this book with sprinkles of magic throughout. I look forward to learning more of Declan's backstory and to see what evolves next. I have an inkling about the young daughter too which I'm curious to see if it comes true. Magic, real or imagined is all around us in the world,.. And this tale showcases both. Enjoy!!! ( )

Rosemary Bell has taken her daughter and run away to a small town to escape her violent husband. While setting up her new house she encounters her strange but handsome Irish neighbour, who declares that she is the Queen of the Witches. Rosemary scoffs initially, but soon discovers that she has mystical powers which can help her rebuild her new life. This is a fun and entertaining read. It's not brilliant, or taxing, but is a great, light-hearted escape option during this time of COVID-19 lockdowns. Enjoy. ( )
