A Witch on the Rocks #14
Fail the Spell Test
Trouble in paradise? Hali Waverly was hoping for a break, but she won’t get that lucky.
A trip to a bridal expo in Orlando has Hali seeing red when a man appears out of nowhere and tries to kidnap a teenager. She reacts without thinking and manages to thwart the attempt but it’s far too close of a call.
Hali assumes one fight will be all it takes, but when the man disappears, she’s left with nothing but questions. Until he shows up on St. Pete Beach and tries the same thing.
Hali is outraged at his gall. There’s just one little problem. She can’t find him. He shows up when he’s on a mission and then disappears into the ether.
Hali taps Gray to help her search, and the answers she gets are not what she was hoping for. It seems their current enemy might have ties to an old one, and they’re running out of time to stop him from completing his mission.
St. Pete Beach is about to become even more dangerous. Hali is determined to be the one left standing in the aftermath.

I honestly think I must be having an 'off' month as a lot of my go-to series are just falling short for me at the moment. I love this series, Hali and Grey are some of my favourite characters to read about and just know that I'm going to have a great time reading their latest shenanigans. However, this book... not so much. I just wasn't a fan of the premise, and honestly, the continuation of the Grams-falling-off-the-pedestal-Hali-put-her-on-and-actually-being-a-flawed-human thread is getting a bit tiring. We know, we know!
So while this wasn't my favourite of the books, it still wasn't terrible. Like I said, I think it's mainly just my current mood coupled with some of the continuing gripes that Hali just can't let go off (or at least put aside for a book) that just made this an 'okay' read for me this month.

Another Awesome Book
I'll be the first one to admit I'm really bad at writing reviews. However, I'm trying to get better at this because I know it helps the author. I'll be honest I've never read a book from Amanda or her writing as Lily that I didn't absolutely love! This book is no exception. The characters are great and the story plot is intriguing and makes you want to keep reading. I highly recommend this book and any book from this author. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Great story, quick read.
Well written, alternately funny, tense, riveting; touching on a topic that I am personally very concerned about, and it's one that EVERYONE should care about. I found the confrontation scene at the Bridal Expo to be almost too realistic, both in the terror and the lack of response from everyone but Hali and Carrie. We need more sheroes and heroes.

A Fun Read
I enjoyed this book. I love this series. This book was a great addition. There were many laugh out loud scenes with lots of snark and sarcasm which I love! Hali planning a wedding is funny as I do not see her as that type of girl. I can't wait until the next book. Love it!

Human trafficking?
This episode reads like filler, popular horrible thing from the headines, the personal interactions crawl forward at a snail's pace, in the penultimate chapter they suddenly find the monster and kill it, ...get mushy, tune in next time.
Lee has gotten quite casual about killing the bad guys. I'm not happy with that.

Review of advance copy
A good addition to the series. The audiobooks for this series are great, I think I was initially unsure about the narrator, but she has grown on me.
I think Rusty, Grey's brother, should get a spin off series. Maybe he can find his own witch. I think he is one of my favorite side characters.

Wonderful story in the series. The author has such great characters in her stories and the interactions between them is entertaining. The storytelling is always good.

Fun story
The plot lines are interesting and the characters are realistic and continue to grow. I can feel the underlying suspense and feel the end of this plot is close. Do mean the end of their story though!

Another fun book
I always enjoy the Hali/Gray stories - a great couple. I also like Rusty and Carrie creating a unique foursome. Intriguing storyline - I did figure out who the shapeshifter was but that didn’t detract from the ending. Enjoyed best as part of the series.

This story was an interesting one and for once, I had a firm suspect long before Hali got there. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book, which is not released yet, to find out what Hester is up to. Five stars.

Another great installment with a very strange culprit. I must say though that I'm looking forward to seeing how Wayne's wish plays out.

Loved it
What an exciting story. It has action, adventure and of course love. Hali is coming into her own and gray is supporting her every step of the way.

A very good read
I love the way the author comes up with these amazing creatures. I am deeply ready to meek the next one.

Another good one bites the dust. Whileni figured out who the bad guy was early on, it was a hunch up until about chapter 16, the anticipation of the group working through the problem was nail biting. Until next time...
