Readers who liked the spunky, charming witches of St. Claire, launched in Ann Aguirre’s earlier Fix-It Witches romances, Witch Please and Boss Witch, will likely be thrilled to have an opportunity to dive again into her madcap world of magic and romance with Extra Witchy.
Having had two marriages finish in divorce, Leanne Vanderpol could also be twice burned, but she’s not remotely shy. When she meets Trevor Montgomery, she asks him if he’s concerned about being her third husband. It’s a teasing pickup line at first, but 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 operating 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, but he’s additionally slightly misplaced. He was well-liked in highschool but never fairly managed to search out his footing afterward, and now he lives in his dad and mom’ basement, working odd jobs and spending a number of time getting excessive. A devastating breakup years earlier broken his confidence, and his harshly important household discourages him from in search of remedy for his despair. At first, he’s shocked that a stupendous, profitable lady like Leanne would have any curiosity in him, but she’s equally shocked to discover a type man who has her again, helps her and values her for her thoughts as a lot as for her pretty face.
An completed lady and a extra relaxed man is at all times 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 unbelievable heroine: good, robust, refreshingly frank and much more relatable than you’d anticipate, 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 buddies. The story does cowl plenty of floor, and in consequence, some plot threads really feel a bit rushed: The marketing campaign begins the plot spinning, but 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 after I reached the top, I wasn’t able to say goodbye to those characters.
