Blurb About The Book

The First In A New Paranormal Women's Fiction Series, Cloudy With A Chance Of Witchcraft is part of a huge #PWF Launch featuring 13 Authors!

When it rains, it pours...

On the eve of my fortieth birthday, Fate has given me a second chance at the happiness I once knew in the odd Southern town of Grimm Cove. But only if I can come to terms with some rather eye-opening revelations. Supernaturals are a real thing. I'm a witch. My high school sweetheart, who happens to be the Chief of Police in Grimm Cove, is my fated mate and a wolf-shifter. Ghosts exist and can be very nosey and meddlesome. Someone is murdering witches left and right. And last but not least, my ex-husband's barely legal arm candy is taking fatal attraction to new levels of Hell.

I'm no shrinking violet, and with the help of my best friends, I'm going to live life on my terms--come Hell, high water, or magikal mishaps. 

Review

I discovered this book as part of the newly released #PWF Fab 13.  I think I might have read one of Mandy's books before, but one thing for certain is that I will definitely be reading more. 

Fans of Kristen Painter's books should know that Mandy had a very similar writing style for me.  She made me laugh, she definitely understands the toils and tribulations of being a woman over 40, oh and she gave me my new favorite term for children - "Crotch Goblins".

This paranormal story introduces a lot of characters that we are obviously going to learn more about as the series goes on.  Fate plays a huge role in happenings and fans will know that I am a huge believer in things happening for a reason. 

The magik (Mandy uses the k spelling throughout the book - which I am personally not a fan of but it was consistent) is expertly researched.  I actually messaged her on Facebook to ask if she was in fact a witch herself (she is not), because there are actual tips and tricks in there that I use.  The story is fun, this trio of girls are hilarious, and the world building and secondary characters are totally solid. 

This gets a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars from me - despite the fact there are shifters - so that in itself should let you know it's a good read.   It really only lost the half point due what I am now calling "The Melanie Clause" - in other words the story was good but I pretty much solved it early on - and as fun as it is to be right, I don't feel that I can give a solid 5 when that happens.   When you read it please be sure to come and let me know if you guessed what was coming, and tell me how much you enjoyed it - because I am sure you will.
