Could It Be Magic #2
I Put A Spell On You
A touch of black magic….
For Harmony McLeod – Harry, for short – life is going swimmingly in Edinburgh. Her exclusive spa, specialising in ‘spiritual counselling’ alongside massages and yoga (read: solving clients’ problems with a little bit of harmless witchcraft) is flourishing… Until she discovers one of her employees dead.
This spells out real trouble - trouble that even a perfectly cast spell can’t fix because the person out to destroy Harry is using magic too – dark magic…
Luckily DI Louise Baxter is more than willing to go the extra mile to help Harry solve the mystery and she’s pretty easy on the eyes too…

Fun follow up to Like A Charm.

This was slow going for the first half, started to amp up until what felt like the main plot point in the final chapter before skipping a real resolution and ending with an epilogue. It also completely undid the romance from book one without a real resolution which was highly disappointing.
I like the magic, the backstory would have been better if the letters actually read like letters because it really didn't allow you to fall into the story.

Answer was obvious but they were clueless
Another great read about the witchy cousins focusing on the slightly uptight Harry. However the culprit was obvious from the start and it really started to bug me that Harry and Esme couldn't work it out. It was obvious! Although this was beautifully crafted with the same terrific care to bring the characters to life, I just couldn't get over how dumb they were in connecting the dots.

I really did enjoy this book. Was it a little predictable and cringey, yes, but sometimes that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a book and I have already purchased and downloaded the next in the series! If you want an easy read that has a cosy vibe but is a little “witchy” then definitely give this a try!

After really enjoying the first book in this series I downloaded 'I Put a Spell on You' as soon as it was released, however due to children bothering me I decided to save it until I was on holiday to enjoy properly!
If I'm honest, I was worried I wouldn't warm to Harry's character after her appearence in the first book, but Barrett managed to capture her humour along with her hidden vulnerable side well, and it wasn't long before I was feeling bad for her and wanting to find out what happened!
With a touch of romance, along with magic that doesn't seem that far fetched, I fell for Harry and her supporting characters, and yet again couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. I can't wait for the next in the series to see what happens.

A highly enjoyable follow-up, especially since I love all things 'witchy'.
