Great Storyline

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

I thought this book had a great storyline. There are a lot of sentences that use the wrong word or improper English but you can figure out what is meant. I also think there are areas where the thought could be expanded on. It is fast paced and interesting. I like the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

Adorable short story, but, alas, requires editing

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

Sorry ~ once again ~ a cute idea was virtually destroyed by either ignorance of grammar/rules of the English language; arrogance in ignoring them and neglecting to either ask [or pay!!] for proofreading/editing; or a combination of the two.
A shame, really ~ it's really a delightful idea, but, sadly, reads like a high school first draft:
· at least one [if not more!] grammatical/mechanical error on each page;
· underdeveloped characterization;
· over-reliance on word repetition ['swirl' comes to mind as overused: on one page (3) times [!!]; other times it appeared (3) times in (4) consecutive pages! Use a thesaurus!]
· mixed-up word order [are we channeling Yoda!? Or is it translated rather sloppily from another language?]
· missed opportunities for nuanced sentence constructions, as well as complex paragraphing;
· poor word choice [does anyone say "shall" anymore? It rendered the conversations almost laughable, and demeaned the integrity of the entire story];
· and it's a really quick read ~ hence the 'short story' reference in the title.

And yet it is a cute idea!!!!
I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed in the upcoming second story.

Wonderful premise... with a lot of potential. But the way it starts

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016

Not a bad first effort, but you can tell the author is new at the writing game. I hate being a critic, since so many critics could not write their way out of a paper sack. But I am going to point out a few things...

Wonderful premise... with a lot of potential. But the way it starts left me feeling confused... it went from a lady and child moving to a new house, to a bunch of witches talking about prophecy... no explanation or smooth transition. It gets tied together a little further into the book, and makes more sense. But it was confusing enough to where I went back to see if I had missed something, lol!

Transitions are way to fast... not believable.

1. The main character goes from "Muggle" to believing in witches, and using her own powers almost overnight. I doubt that most people are that resilient.
2. The witches start doing things for her that would freak most people out, and yet she just accepts it and goes on.
3. (this is the biggest issue) The new "Queen" instantly solves a problem that has been hurting the witches for decades, even though she has no real training, background or understanding (although I guess anything is possible with magic)! Just too much, too fast! Better story line would have been to left such a momentous item for two or three books down the road, after she had a clue.

I also wish that Aurora (the four year old daughter) was a larger part of the book, she is almost just a foil or window dressing for her mom.

Way too short.... and the ending is a bit harsh.. it just stops (not really a cliffhanger, either).

If this is aimed at girls under fifteen.. it will hit it's audience. But I think the majority of adults may find it less than satisfying. I love YA books, and read a lot of them... but this one has a ways to go. This author will be interesting in a few years, if she sticks with it... and finds a good editor to mentor her.

My opinion! :) That and a dollar might buy you a cup of bad coffee, right?

A sweet breath of fresh air; two thumbs up (Won’t do ten—I’m not all thumbs).

Creating a good fantasy story that avoids the traditional ‘beat up the MC’ strategy to stitch together the story and not have it come unraveled is a difficult needle to thread. This one succeeds.

Yes, naysayers, you can neigh till you’re horse about a couple of typos and some POV stumbles, but please put aside your critic’s hat, take a deep breath and a nice cup of tea, and enjoy a charming story. Sweet, not Saccharin. Fluffy, not gruffy. Calorie free with a wonderful aftertaste.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Dani and thanks for allowing us to escape to your world for a spell.

A bit of Chocolat

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

I remember that I got this book free for my kindle, perhaps from the Pixels in Ink, facebook page. The story of a newly divorced mother and her young daughter making their way to a fresh beginning in a new town, where they find a magical reception is a bit like the Chocolat Story. It was fun, light hearted, a simple, quick read that leads into a sequel I may never get around to reading. Not that I disliked anything about the book, butI'm really busy and money is tight and I didn't quite care enough to buy the second book yet, but it made me smile and feel good and if I need the ease of mind that it induced, and that need coincides with a little spare change, I might buy it after all. I wish the author all good things, and say thank you for a few smiles and the touch of magic you added to a grey coastal day.

A New Witch in Town was a delightfully magical read that opened my imagination and heart. An adventure story everyone will enjoy.

Grandma, Isidora, Aurora, Kimberly...a light and alive tale- with interesting and even loveable characters.

The author does a great job keeping your attention start to finish. Leaving you guessing in all the right places. Really enjoyed losing myself in this magical tale.

I recommend you take a couple hours and see what this witches adventure has in store for you!

Huge disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

Ok I love Deborah Geary and Audrey Fae (same writer). Deborah Geary's covers are almost exactly the same as Dani's but printed 10 years earlier. Seeing this cover and reading reviews I thought it might be a heart warming series like the Geary books. It is a cute story, but the writing is very poor, someone just starting out. I got the second book as many writers improve and yes Dani is getting better but not anywhere close to Deborah. I gave it two star because I read both books. They are a very fast read. But over all I was hugely disappointed. Am not going to read the third book.

A delightful way to spend an afternoon

Reviewed in Canada on May 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book was not what I expected. I expected something rather gritty but what I got was a most delightful story of a modern single Mom who was more than even she knew! This book was a complete delight. The plot though never violent moved along right smartly from the word go. Every book needs a conflict or there is no interest. This book the conflict was all internal and was about self knowledge. The littlest witch was a cutie from the very start.She does magic but does not know or recognise it. How do you teach such a one to keep it to herself? No time is wasted on story nonessentials so we never learn much about the former life of our protagonist or her Ex but we do learn enough to see the influence of these people. All in all a fun (if short ) read

This will definitely be a new witch series to look out for so all you witchy's out there get downloading this highly recommended part 1.

Pure joy to read

A lively tale of self discovery, growth and community. Characters are well defined and mesh seamlessly . intrigue is built to a sort of cliff hanger at the end of the book.....can't wait to read the sequel. And, might I add, a great read without swearing, violence, or sex. Two thumbs up.
