Having had two marriages finish in divorce, Leanne Vanderpol could also be twice burned, however she’s not remotely shy. When she meets Trevor Montgomery, she asks him if he’s involved in being her third husband. It’s a teasing pickup line at first, however it quickly turns into a severe query—and a cautious plan. After working in public relations for the slimy mayor, Leanne’s able to emerge from behind the scenes and make a distinction by working for metropolis council. But she is aware of single girls battle to get elected, particularly ones with divorces of their previous. A candy, charming, supportive husband might present simply the bump she must win over voters.
Trevor is actually candy and charming, however he’s additionally a little bit misplaced. He was common in highschool however by no means fairly managed to seek out his footing afterward, and now he lives in his mother and father’ basement, working odd jobs and spending so much of time getting excessive. A devastating breakup years earlier broken his confidence, and his harshly crucial household discourages him from looking for remedy for his despair. At first, he’s shocked that a stupendous, profitable girl like Leanne would have any curiosity in him, however she’s equally shocked to discover a sort man who has her again, helps her and values her for her thoughts as a lot as for her beautiful face.
An achieved girl and a extra relaxed man is all the time an interesting couple dynamic, and Extra Witchy is an ideal instance of why. Trevor’s magnificently endearing with out seeming unrealistic, and Leanne is a improbable heroine: good, robust, refreshingly frank and much more relatable than you’d count on, with fastidiously hidden vulnerabilities. They’re each instantly likable people who make a really lovely couple. Fans of the sequence will likely be delighted to see extra of the group arrange within the earlier books, from Leanne’s great coven of witches to Trevor’s associates. The story does cowl heaps of floor, and consequently, some plot threads really feel a bit rushed: The marketing campaign begins the plot spinning, however then it’s over and achieved in what seems like only a flash. However, that’s simply one other signal of how engrossing Extra Witchy is. Even once I reached the top, I wasn’t able to say goodbye to those characters.
