I love this book, this series and Deanna Chase! She is on my fave author list and must read !
I have said this before in other reviews, but it bears repeating. If you are a woman of a "certain age",a romance novel junkie, and who may be thinking all magic and romance in life has left you behind, you should try reading a new genre created just for us- Paranormal Women's Fiction. This genre of romance is written by women for women who know what happens when face to face with mid-life changes. What if hot flashes were not a curse but a signal that something magical was about to happen in your life? What if all that experience you gained in your many years of life, were about to culminate in abilities that allowed you to see life around you with a clarity you never had in your youth? What if instead of life passing you by, you finally found a true connection to the world and people around you. That is what Paranormal Women's Fiction is all about. And oh is it so much fun to read about women more like myself than the twenty something women most romance novels are about!
I have lots of favorite authors in this genre. Many of them I have read for years as they have written about romance and magic for quite some time. Deanna Chase is definitely one of those authors. But I have never related as well to any characters in her books as I do to the women of Premonition Pointe! With this series I have laughed as one character wishes her cheating husband and his mistress get a bad STD and discovers her wishes are magically enabled,so they come true! I have cried as women of the Pointe have lost everything they held dear, only to smile that with age and a bit of magic, they gain an even better life than they thought possible. Deanna writes with such understanding of what is like to be us, her words are magic. Reading this series has transported me to another place or time, where wishes do come true and women like me are loved and cared for because of their wisdom and experience.
Witching For Moxie, book 5 in the series, is every bit as exciting and magical as Ms. Chase's previous novels. In this novel another women in town joins the coven. However, unlike the rest, she has believed that she has no special magic. Yet, suddenly with hot flashes, a cheating spouse, divorce and unemployment, comes a magic so strong, it is overwhelming.
With magic, there comes even more importantly, a group of friends that will stand by her through thick and thin. That is the real story behind Premonition Pointe. The story that Deanna Chase tells so well. The story of finding true friends and keeping them close. To quote one of those women in this novel "“I think we’ve all reached a point in our lives that when we find someone we connect with and trust, we don’t let them go." To women of a "certain age " this is the real magic in our lives, finding other women we connect to emotionally and spiritually and holding on to them no matter what.
The need for friends and fulfilling that need is the happily ever after in Deanna Chases's special Premonition Pointe series. Again , in Witching For Moxie, she keeps us holding on to the very end, through many twists and turns, until in the end with the strength of her friends behind her, the main character finds her moxie and happily ever after.
What can I say? You need to read this book, this series, and you too will believe their is magic in hot flashes and hormone changes!
