“The writing bug bit me on a rainy afternoon when I couldn’t find any new book to read. My daughter had enough of my moping around and snapped at me, “Mom, stop whining! If you haven’t a book to read, then write one.” Her challenge shocked me, but I started playing with the idea and I’ve been writing stories, that I like to read, ever since.”
Erika loves to dance to her own tunes and follow her dreams, introduces her story writing skills and her books that are based on creative imagination with themes such as alternate history, urban fantasy, cozy mystery, sweet romance and supernatural stories. Her children’s stories are informative, educational, and deliver moral values in a non-preachy way.
“I followed my dream to become a writer. As an artist, I paint pretty pictures with my brushes, and as a writer, I paint vivid pictures with my words.”

In this short fictional story we get a look into Wiccan beliefs and how it is for good. The author did deep investigation into the subject so as to write a good story based on the information she researched. Narration was well done and made the entire storyline interesting and knowledgeable.

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this story, especially the unexpected twist where the character’s jealousy leads her to create and use a love potion, it added an intriguing layer of drama. The storyline was entertaining throughout, with enough tension to keep me engaged.
I also found the butterfly magic signals to be a very creative touch, adding a unique charm and a bit of extra pizzazz to the story.

The Potion by Erika M. Szabo was a quick read about three apprentice witches. In this adolescent fantasy, there’s jealousy, a family curse, a werewolf, a rare flower, and teen angst. Well written with heartwarming characters, The Potion is a gem of a story. Is this the beginning of a series? Hint, hint.
