10 Ways to Spellblock a Warlock

Cursed Quartet #2

by Virginia Nelson

So you've heard of cockblocking, right?

Gannon Wilson is cursed. Although he's not sure how or why, everyone believes his curse killed his beloved wife, Gilmore, just after she gave birth to their beautiful little girl, Emmie. Even Gannon believes he might have caused her exceptionally untimely demise, if inadvertently. So, although he's a single father—functioning on lack of sleep, exhaustion, and otherwise pretty frazzled most of the time—he's not looking for a witch girlfriend to ease his troubles. Anything but, in fact. Gannon only dates humans… because he's scared of what the curse might do if he dared love another witch.

Henrietta Fannyfartle is on a mission. She learned of the tragic tale of Gilmore and Gannon through the witchy grapevine, but she doesn't think the Taradiddle curse is what ended Gilmore's life. Since she's working on her thesis—magical university is such a drag, amirite?—she needs evidence to support her suppositions, and there's only one way to get it.

Henri needs to get close to Gannon and his daughter to verify her theory is correct, so she can write her paper, and then go on to be one of the leading witch professors among her contemporaries. One problem? Gannon is wary of witches, which is wise. What's a witch to do but pretend to be a human in the middle of nowhere West Virginia so she can get the story of a lifetime.

Wait… one more problem. The one thing the clever little witch didn't count on was love.

About the author

Virginia Nelson believed them when they said, “Write what you know.” Small town girl writing small town romance, her characters are as full of flaws, misunderstandings, and flat out mistakes as Virginia herself. When she’s not writing or plotting to take over the world, she likes to hang out with the greatest kids in history, play in the mud, drive far too fast, and scream at inanimate objects. Virginia likes knights in rusted and dinged up armor, heroes that snarl instead of croon, and heroines who can’t remember to say the right thing even with an author writing their dialogue. Her books are full of snark, sex, and random acts of ineptitude—not always in that order.

Reviews

[Patti · Rating 5 out of 5]

Overall rating: 4.5

A very easy to read tale of witches, curses, and a Mother’s ultimate love for her child. The story is set in the mystical town of Assjacket where magic and mayhem goes hand in hand. Expect sweltering heat between characters along with the ultimate of snarkiness! If you are familiar with this universe you will know to be prepared for comedy. Sometimes it’s light, and other times you may be subjected to uncontrollable bursts of laughter. A fist by this author for me and I found her contribution very sweet and heartfelt. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
