Witches of Castle Clair #1
Belle, Book and Candle
Do you believe in magic?
Sky St Clair doesn't. Growing up in Castle Clair, a small town renowned for its mystical past and magical legends, she never felt she belonged, and left home as soon as she could.
But when her sister has an accident Sky finds herself running the family's magical supplies shop. Wands, crystals, pendulums… It's a tough job when she doesn't believe in the products she's selling. But how can she? Magic isn't real, no matter what her deluded siblings think.
Jethro Richmond doesn't believe in magic either. In fact, he doesn't believe in anything much any more, which is proving to be a bit of a problem for a writer of fantasy novels. The last thing he needs is to get involved with a family like the St Clairs.
But this is a strange little town, and as the residents prepare to celebrate Christmas, Sky and Jethro might just discover that, in Castle Clair, anything is possible. Even magic.
The Witches of Castle Clair are non-steamy, lighthearted paranormal romances, written in British English. They should be read in order for your best reading experience.

There are a few ways to get my attention immediately: Christmas, cats and magic are the top three, so of course I was drawn to this book like a moth to a flame.
Sharon Booth has written a wonderful story here, with characters I absolutely enjoyed, along with the setting (Yorkshire), the magical little town Castle Clair, and a bit of romance thrown in to boot.
Sky St. Clair is the only one of her sisters who absolutely, positively, without a doubt, does not believe in magic, who lives in a town renowned for the magical and unexplained things that can happen there. As soon as she could, she left the ruins of the Castle St. Clair her family owns.
As it happens, fate had other things in store for young Sky. Finding herself homeless, jobless and boyfriend-less, she returns home just in time for the big festivities surrounding the holiday season.
To make things even better (?) she finds one sister breaking up with her own boyfriend, her brother has left for Ireland to grieve the death of his soulmate, and her free-spirited mother is galavanting around the globe, God only knows where.
Sky's sister Star has an unfortunate accident which means Sky has to take over running the family's magical supply shop. She finds this very difficult as she is peddling things she has no faith in.
Enter Jethro, a writer of fantasy novels who no longer believes in magic, or fantasy for that matter. He's struggling in many of the same ways that Sky is. Of course, there's an adorable little cat who has plans of her own.
I love this book - it's one I will reread, and now I'm off to read the next in this delightful series!

It’s over three years since Sky St Clair left the pretty town of Castle Clair, the ancestral home of her family. She is returning reluctantly, forced to swallow her pride and stay with her two sisters, after losing her job, boyfriend and home in one fell swoop. She loves Star and Celeste, of course she does, it was just…the legend and the family business. She just didn’t—couldn’t—believe in all that magic stuff despite the family legacy.
Jethro Richmond, fantasy writer and a man who is dealing with loss of a different kind altogether, is travelling to Castle Clair on the same train as Sky. His dreams are shattered and all hope is lost. But this is Castle Clair, a town built on myth and magic where anything is possible.
When Star has an accident and dislocates her shoulder leaving her unable to work at her shop, The Broom Closet, it falls to Sky to step in and volunteer despite her misgivings.
Belle, Book and Christmas Candle is a delightful read. Anything lightheartedly witchy and magical is a draw for me and I love browsing in shops like The Broom Closet. The characters are well defined and engaging, I love the developing relationship between Sky and Jethro and how Sky battles with herself until she can’t deny the truth anymore.
The story is told from Sky’s perspective and is structured well with drama, humour and magic. Sharon Booth’s writing is lovely, easy to read with descriptive imagery. I wasn’t able to second guess several twists and enjoyed the way Sky came to terms with working in the shop, and Belle, the little black cat, that kept visiting added to the magic. Looking forward to following up with Star’s story.

With all the doom and gloom in the world at the moment, we could all use a little magic in our lives and the latest book from Sharon Booth gives us exactly that.
Things have gone horribly wrong for Sky. With no job and no home, she reluctantly returns to her hometown of Castle Clair to stay with her sisters, Star and Celeste. Although she adores her sisters, she doesn’t adore her return to Castle Clair; the small town where she never felt she belonged and from which she had happily escaped years earlier.
Castle Clair thrives on a heritage of myths and magic and Sky’s family embrace this completely. Star runs a magical supplies shop and Celeste works in the castle’s magic museum. And they don’t just sell magic; they absolutely believe in it which Sky finds absurd because there’s no way magic exists. Or does it?
She’s not the only one who doesn’t believe in magic. Writer Jethro used to believe but the magic has gone from his life – a tad inconvenient given that he writes fantasy books – and he can’t see himself every believing in magic again. Therefore, the last thing he wants to do is get involved with Sky whose family embrace all things magical.
But Belle the cat seems to have other ideas.
I’ll stop there because to say any more would be giving away spoilers and this book is full of delightful twists and turns that keep those pages turning.
I’ve read all of Sharon Booth’s books and would have to say I’m a huge fan of her work. She exudes warmth in her writing and her characters are always realistic and the sort of people you imagine being friends with. In this book, I loved the interactions with Sky and her sisters as she struggles to make sense of her new life back in Castle Clair and I adored Belle the cat.
Although it’s set in December, I’d say that this book can easily be read at any time of year; not just Christmas. For a little magic and sparkle in your life, I can’t recommend this enough.

I guess you know a book is good if you immediately download book 2 after finishing book 1.... and that's exactly what I've just done.
'Belle, Book and Christmas Candle' centres around a heroine, Sky, who is more or less estranged from her family, but who is forced back to move back in with them after life goes disastrously wrong.
Once back at home with her sisters, she begins to settle in, acquiring an exceedingly appealing boyfriend and pet cat in the process. But as events begin to unfold, she begins to realise that things are a little... odd...
Gradually, she learns that everything is not as it seems, secrets unfold, and Sky discovers much more about herself and her past than she ever anticipated.
I really enjoyed this book; it kept me engrossed and there were plot twists I didn't see coming. It's a book without great darkness -not terrifying or full of sex or violence - it's more of a heartwarming, curl-up-with-a-cup-of-cocoa and feel happy kind of book. A really charming, lovely story.

I’ll admit that, until I started reading, the magic – and the mentions of “witch lit” I’d noticed on social media – did worry me just a little. But that was so very wrong of me – this book was simply wonderful. The magic is all wrapped up with family and relationships – all done in a lovely natural matter-of-fact way, and totally believable. And I can’t believe I just said that – but by the time I reached the end of this beautiful story, I was more than happy to accept the existence of witches, spells sustained by candles, magic wands, travelling distances in the blink of an eye and so much more. It helped a lot that Sky shared my early scepticism – unexpectedly finding herself running sister Star’s magic supplies shop, learning about the three types of customers (such a lovely touch!) and their purchases, discovering the power of crystals and candles, and that all wands aren’t necessarily black with a white tip.
And as well as being a story about a family and their secrets, this is a rather lovely romance too – I loved the developing relationship between Sky and Jethro, his sadness and the loss of his writing ability (and of fantasy too – what a great idea), their lunches at the shop, and the preparations for the Christmas magic show were just wonderful. I loved Sky’s chaotic but loving family, the relationships wonderfully drawn – and I very much liked Castor and his part in the story. But the undoubted star has to be Belle, the characterful little black cat who decides that the shop is where she wants to be, and who draws together and walks through so many of the story’s threads.
There was nothing I didn’t love about this book. The writing is excellent – I really liked the characters and their interactions, the gentle humour, the moments of drama and disagreement, and the whole structure and concept of the lovely story. Sharon Booth is a natural storyteller, and I was totally caught up in the web she wove through to the final page. And I really must mention the vividly drawn setting – Castle Clair is based on Knaresborough, which I know very well, and I really liked the way she used details I recognised, infused them with all the tastes and smells of Christmas and then added a sprinkle of real magic. A very special book, and despite its Christmas content, one that you could enjoy every bit as much as I did at any time of the year. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Castle Clair…

The mind block
A good read about a family who have had magic and witches in their history. She though doesn't believe in magic but having been made redundant, caught her boyfriend cheating and then been given two weeks notice at her flat, she's got nowhere to go but home. Now she finds out that her sister split up with her longterm boyfriend, her brother has escaped to Ireland after the tragic death of his soulmate and her mother is still wandering the world. Her family firmly believe in witchcraft but she thinks they are delusional. This is her journey to remember her past and forge a new future with the man she met on the train. Good characters - well developed and rounded.

I wanted to love this book, I absolutely loved the blurb and I was so excited to read this. To be honest, I don't understand the 4,41 average rating, but before I get into my issues I would like to say whom I recommend this series to: If you are not a witch and just looking for a family mystery/homecoming kind of situation, you will do fine with this book. The backstory is fascinating, the whole world set up is absolutely lovely and I can totally see myself in Castle Clair! The writing style is easy to read and the book is a quick and easy read, too.
But, for 75% of the book, I had to endure Sky being rude, obnoxious, selfish and ungrateful and I, as a witch, felt offended by her comments eventually. She is 25 years old and behaves like a petulant teenager, especially towards her sisters. And her attitude towards magic is, even with the revealed ending, just not okay. You can be shut off about a topic due to traumatic circumstances, but not be a dick about it to your family and ridiculing them every chance you get. And once the big secret is out, it is all sunshine and roses and she goes from without magic to being able to levitate herself. I usually write my reviews spoiler-free, but I just had too many misgivings about this book that I can't express without at least some spoilers. I like a good romance, i even enjoy Insta-love if it is done well, but I just don't enjoy how love is handled in this book. Almost like an afterthought, like a romance was needed, but it shouldn't be work. The whole part about Jethro not wanting to get entangled with the St. Clair's? That doesn't even play a part in the book. And let's talk about the "Christmas Candle" // Yule part real quick: Basically, we just skip over that part? The whole path was to celebrate Yule and then it just disintegrated. I am really sorry that I didn't love the book.

Another wonderful book by Sharon Booth. This one is a little different from her others but still is firmly sited in Yorkshire's beauty and customs. The St. Clair sisters live in the town of Castle Clair; their family owns the ruined castle and other parts of the town. Sky, the youngest, tried to get away, but since she lost her job and boyfriend, she decided to take recoup her losses when a Yule invitation from her sisters brings her home. Her family has a legacy of magic, but Sky doesn't believe in it, doubting her families' beliefs. On the train home, she meets Jethro, a man who's suffered his own losses.
I do love Sky and Jethro (and Belle). Their story is filled with magic, both figuratively and literally. All the characters are well-drawn and lots of fun with great descriptions and some humorous scenes. And there's a great addition of the Celtic story of the Oak King and the Holly King. It's just my cup of tea.
This is another great story by Ms. Booth. I'm so glad this is going to be a series because I need to know what happens to the rest of the family: Star, Celeste, and Sirius. There are delicious hints scattered throughout this story, and I can't wait.

I enjoyed this book. Very nice story. I like the setting quite a bit, and most of the characters. The main character, Sky, bothered me some at the beginning. That's why it took me a while to get into the story. She's so anti-magic and rude to her family that I found her attitude off-putting. Eventually her behavior is explained, and it made more sense for her to be so hostile to magic, but it just made me dislike her at the beginning. I loved her sisters though, and I'm hoping there will eventually be books about them.
This has a sweet love story, and the community sounds so fun, makes me wish I could visit or even live there. That's probably another reason I had issues with Sky - she wants so badly to get away from where she's from, and I'm thinking about how much I'd like to live there.
Overall, I really liked this book and looking forward to reading more by this author.

I bought the paperback version of this novel in the run up to Christmas and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Ms Booth’s novels are written with heart and she seems to know exactly what her readers want. Growing up, I was a great fan of Bewitched, Serena the Teenage Witch and other TV series with a magical theme. In fact, one of my favourite movies is I Married a Witch which probably kick-started my love of the genre. I found elements of all three in this novel which made it feel both familiar and different as I read to the end. Loved all the characters: Sky, Star and Jethro - and I’m a complete sucker for a castle, spooky or otherwise. This novel left me with a great soppy smile on my face wondering if I could get a job in a magic shop, too. Oh, and if I could order a Jethro for Christmas, I’d be made up. Next, the sequel MY FAVOURITE WITCH, when time allows.

I liked everything about this book,it is a Christmas read because of the setting, the festival of 'yule' and the anniversary of a legend. Sky St Clair finds herself in a situation where she has no choice but to return home, moving in with her two sisters in a house and (fictional I think but totally believable) town in Yorkshire that thrives off myths and legends about witchcraft. The characters were so real, their names their suggestion of mystery. Who is this bloke Sky meets on the train? Who does this cat belong to that seems to have made itself at home in the family shop? Why won't her sister blow out that candle? I wanted to know, but then I didn't want it to end!

Loved this book.. Another good read from Sharon Booth
An expert storyteller her characters come to life as the plot twists to the inevitable happy ending, you know it's going to get there but she takes you on the most enjoyable, sometimes unexpected journey first. Such imagination..A great Christmas read. More please.

Magical!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I fell in love with the characters, especially the cats, and I was rooting for them all. It had romance, mystery, family love and magic all set in a beautiful place. What more could you want! I am looking forward to the next book in the series now. Well done! 5*

Another brilliant book by Sharon! I've loved all her other books so far and I've read many other Cozy Witch books and I was a little sceptical...but boy was I wrong!
I love Skys family and learning about their history setting the scene for the next books. I could not put it down until finish....Book 2 is downloaded for tomorrow!

It’s absolutely brilliant! A bit different from the previous books by Sharon Booth and equally heartwarming. Full of twists and turns it also encourages the reader to follow many reading paths. So much more than fiction!
Romance with a magic twist, it’s another winner!

The first of three books about three sisters from Castle Claire. All three have magic. And a disfunctional family dynamic.
Weaves 350 year old family history, familiars, a magic shop, love, loyalty and misunderstandings into a cracking storyline over the three books.

A lovely, heart warming story. Not my usual genre but sometimes we all need a change. Absolutely adorable characters and who doesn't love a sprinkle of magic? I'll deffinitly read the next in the series.

This was a lovely book to get me out of a reading slump! I wanted something not too heavy going but that could grip me and have me invested in the characters. I know this is part of a larger series and I’m so glad it is as I can’t wait to read more about the family and the town it is based around. If you want dark and gritty this isn’t for you but if you want an easy read that’ll make you smile and have you routing for the cast of characters then I would definitely recommend it.

What a lovely Christmas read! The main character Sky could be really annoying at times in her hatred of witchcraft and some of the story was a little corny but it was a great Christmas read!
