Thorne Witches #14
Captivating Magic
Embittered warlock, Laszlo Thorne is saddled with the unique ability to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. It’s a secret he guards closely to avoid novice paranormal hunters and charlatans alike. But when his sister’s adorably quirky friend shows up and asks for an exorcism, he can’t turn her away.
After a near-fatal accident, Ebba James is haunted by an apparition that blurs the lines of her reality. She’s not convinced it isn’t a figment of her overactive imagination. When she accidentally discovers the object of her embarrassing schoolgirl infatuation can communicate with the other side, she seeks Laszlo’s help.
Amidst vengeful spirits and enigmatic mysteries, Ebba’s decade-long crush fades and is replaced by a passion neither of them can deny. Unable to fight her captivating magic, Laszlo, once emotionally closed off, opens to the possibility of a second chance at happiness. Together, they navigate the shadowy depths of the supernatural, unveiling long-buried secrets that are better left alone.
*Not recommended for anyone under 18 yrs of age due to content and language.

About the author
T.M. Cromer
66 books624 followersTT.M. Cromer is a multi-award-winning sorceress of the written word and fearless architect of high-stakes paranormal romance. With a flair for twisty plots, slow burns, and swaggering heroes hot enough to scorch the page, she conjures stories that hook readers and refuse to let go. From her cozy PNW lair, flanked by two Hellhounds and an unholy amount of caffeine ambition, she weaves love, danger, and humor into every page. Whether it’s witches, sirens, or magical assassins, her characters never behave, and neither do her stories.
When she’s not dreaming up new ways to ruin her characters’ lives before crafting their HEA, she’s daydreaming about swimming with orcas or cackling over a particularly clever line of dialogue. Come for the magic, stay for the heartbreak, and maybe fall a little too hard for a man who only exists on the page.

Wow, another great Thorne Witches book, I really love this book too, all the characters feel like family to me, and the 'surprise' visitors too. T.M. Cromer did it again!

Another book in the ‘I couldn’t put it down’ category!!!! I just loved Ebba, she’s my kinda lady. What a superb story line with so incredible twists and turns. I just love and hate the way it ended…LOL

Must read
T M Comer has outdone herself with this one. Love the Thorne Witch series and this is no exception. The twists and turns that Eggs and Laszlo go through with Alaister, Castor and Damien's help keeps you enthralled on what will happen next and of course Isis gets involved again, with others in the mix. Then the ending leaves you wanting more. Just had a feeling that Cromer was going to end it with a cliff hanger, and was right ( though my inner being was yelling Nooooo!!) Can't wait till book 15 comes out. Have to see what happens, and no I will not spoil it for those who have not read it.

What a brilliant story and what fantastic characters. I didn't realise Liz had brothers! I enjoyed getting to know both Lo and Ebba and it was as always, a pleasure to spend time with Alastair and Damian. The plot is complicated and bounces around timelines a bit, which makes it a little difficult to make sense of on occasion. Added to this was the complication of a spirit not necessarily being in a body. I have to admit, I scratched my head a few times. I knew where the author was trying to go, I just wasn't always able to keep up with her

She waited so long
She waited so long for him to realize that he loved he'd and almost lost her life before they got a chance to be together.
If it wasn't for his family, he would have gone his whole life, not knowing his one true love was right under his nose.
It takes some Devine intervention and some hard work for them to finally get together, but someone keeps trying to get in the way.
They have a fight on their hands and a short time frame to fix it in.

Captivating Magic
Ebba had love Laszlo since she first seen him that summer and continued on even when he got married. Then Ebba got into an accident and was about to Passover when someone came along and saved her but it allowed another spirit to come along for a ride too. Now they just have to figure out how to separate them and bring Ebba back to life for Laszlo. Highly recommend this book and series

I love this series and this book is no exception. When Ebba needs help, Lazlow is there for her. He has to call in reinforcements this time which only add to the enjoyment of the book. Any time Alistair is involved, I'm all for it. And Damian, oh my. Castro is hilarious and a welcome addition. All Thorne Witches book is like an opportunity to visit old friends. I love how they welcome others and support their family.

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Cromer has done it again Captivating the Thorne family. I love all the reoccurring surprise characters as well. The family that fights together, stays together and man do they fight fiercely. Wish we all could find our soul mates and travel through time. I never want this series to end. Each one's love story unravels more of the family's secrets and enemies. I am counting down the days to the next book.

Excellent Read
I love this series as each character has there own special magic or blend of magics. And there are a lot of Thrones and blends of magic. So keeping them all straight starts with reading each characters love story. There is also teasing and sarcasm and laughing out loud. I recommend reading all the Thorne series and spinoffs. They are addictive.

Absolutely amazing!
I love the fact that TM always makes her characters come alive when I read her books! I literally can see them as if they're a movie. She has kick @$$ heroines, hotties for men and hilarious banter between characters. The Thorne's will always be my fav family!!

I love the new installment of the Thrones Witches . This story grabs you fast and I truly could not put it down until I finished the book. I am so glad I found this series and the other books with characters introduced in the Thorne books. I truly love all of TM Corners creations.

Complex Magic
Thorne magic is always complicated and fascinating. Diverse abilities complement each other’s and family ties are strong. The love of family is all encompassing. Several threads woven make the story irresistible and oh chapter 13! Can’t say enough you need to read this!

Another great book by T.M. Cromer! She brings her characters to life and makes me want to continue reading until the end, when I am disappointed that the book is done. I look forward to the next addition to the series.

As I’ve said with all the Thorne books, it’s like visiting family that you love. Can’t wait for each visit. Some extra twists and some lovely visits from extended “family” just make me love them more. I just can’t get enough.

Love Ebba and Lazlo!
Another amazing Thorne witch story. So many surprises and twists. Attracted as teenagers then apart for years. Fate and Death throw obstacles to reach a life with love!

TM is just amazing. This book gave me the love feels, the favorite characters, the plot twists and the passion. She just writes for my soul. I was done in a day and ready for my next fix.

I have not read one book of Cromer’s that I haven’t loved and Captivating Magic is no exception. I loved Ebba and Laszlo’s story and can not wait to dive into Cromer’s next book.

The most awesome series I've read in a long time. So much so I couldn't take the time to review each book in multiple series from TM Cromer aka Ms. Genius, lol. I've read them so fast my head should be spinning! Her writing is that amazing. Loved every one so far and literally could not put them down. You are definitely missing out if you pass up reading her extraordinary, fun, funny, serious, and wonderful tales. Absolutely amazing reads!!
