A Lying Witch

Rate this book
Chi McLane likes to lie. It's part of her job. She's a fortuneteller and will happily lie about your future for a fee.
Then she encounters a problem. She's just inherited her grandmother's house. That's not so bad, right? Wrong. Because the house comes with a book, and the book comes with a curse.
Suddenly Chi finds herself thrust into the gritty world of a seer. Yeah, because magic exists, and it ain't pretty.
Oh, and there's another problem. One with broad shoulders, a deep Scottish accent, and a killer smile. Turns out he's her magical bodyguard, and he's here to stay.
Chi is pushed into a realm of violent magic, petty lies, and a curse that will haunt her until the day she dies.
...

This was a quick read, but there didn't seem to be much substance to it. It's the first book in a quartet and it honestly felt more like a first section of a novel than a book on its own. Maybe that was intentional, but I didn't care for that. I don't plan to continue with this series.

Lying will get you killed

Interesting take on the witch/paranormal genre. A young witch coming in to her powers. A gigantic, gorgeous fairy. The obligatory cat (that is nowhere to be found during the story) and monsters. You've got to have dark forces to fight.
An interesting book that is worth a read.

For my this book was short to my which I personally don't know how I felt about that. Don't get me wrong the author is a wonderful writer. It just seemed rushed.

If you want a quick read that will keep you wondering then this is a good.
