Magic Lessons: A Prequel to Practical Magic | Alice Hoffman

pick

I had to read the prequel in the Practical Magic series before diving into the 4th and final book. We learn the story of Maria Owens in the 1600s, the one who put a curse on any man who would ever love an Owens woman. I love the way Alice Hoffman tells a story and this is just as good as the rest of the series. I can‘t wait to read the new one! 5⭐️

The King of Bones and Ashes | J. D. Horn

This is a good book once you get past the beginning where it was slow to start but once it did it was a page turner. Set in New Orleans post Katrina we have evil and magical cats and a mix of characters that are interesting and engaging.

erinreads You had me at evil and magical cats! 😹 2y

Read-y_Picker I have the whole series but keep pushing it off... Tried listening to the audio of this one and found it hard to follow. I think reading it will be more effective.

@erinreads if that's the magic combo for you I recommend my current read

Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries

KristiAhlers @Read-y_Picker yeah I put it off too. Once you get past the first 25 pages the author hits his stride. And I‘m totally checking out that other book! Thanks for the recommendation! 2y

The King of Bones and Ashes | J. D. Horn

so-so

I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. It was very slow moving initially and there were so many characters introduced that I found I couldn't make a connection with any of them. The storyline is intriguing and there's a possibility that I might continue to the next book, but it's not going to be any time soon. ⭐⭐⭐

xxjenadanxx I was the same way. I had high expectations for this one after finishing his Wishing Savannah series but couldn't get into this one. 5y

eri.reads @xxjenadanxx Glad to know it isn't just me! 5y

King of Bones and Ashes | J D Horn

This first book in a new series has a #boogieman character, called Babau Jean. From the Cast of Characters listing by the author, “Also known as “John the Bogey,” Babau Jean is New Orleans‘s own born and bred bogeyman. Go on. Turn out the lights. Face the mirror. Call his name three times. He‘ll see you.” I dare you!

#octoberxfiles @Robothugs @Cinfhen

DivineDiana I‘m intrigued! 😮 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana I liked Horn‘s Savannah Witches series better than this one. But it‘s still good fun without being overly heavy. Here‘s my book review FYI http://thebibliophage.com/book-review-king-bones-ashes-jd-horn/ 6y

DivineDiana Thank you! Trust your opinion! ❤️ 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana Thanks! 😍 6y

Cinfhen Great blurb!!! I‘m almost sold!!! I just don‘t really enjoy fantasy too much... but this one has me wondering 6y

Wife Great pic!🖤 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Yeah, this might still be too much fantasy for you. Babau Jean is a part of it, but it‘s really about witches battling each other for power in the witchiest city in America. Check my review ... and definitely make it a borrow. 😎😍 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Wife Thank you. Credit goes to the Unsplash archive for that one! 6y

Cinfhen Thanks!! I‘ll see if this title is available on #OverDrive 😁 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Might be. The second book has a good list of characters, which I wish had been in the first. Let me know if you start it, and I‘ll send you the list. 6y

Robothugs 😱😱 I refuse to call anyone‘s name three times. Including Beetlejuice. 6y

MinDea This sounds good! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Robothugs Better safe than sorry! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MinDea It is good. Not great. But solid urban, witchy fantasy. 6y
