Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong

Dime Store Magic (Otherworld, #3)

by Kelley Armstrong

'Paranormal and show-business power struggles make for hard-to-put-down entertainment.' - Booklist

'The Women of the Otherworld universe has expanded and gained further definition with this latest entry. . . . If Kelly Armstrong writes it, then you should add it to your reading list if you want a darn good tale.' - HuntressReviews.com

Paige Winterbourne is a witch. Not that you'd notice - no warts, no green skin, no cute little wiggle of the nose whenever she casts a spell.

No, most of the time she's just a normal 23-year-old girl; works too hard, worries about her weight, wonders if she'll ever find a boyfriend. Okay, so she does have an adopted teenage daughter, Savannah, who wants to raise her black witch of a mother from the dead. And who is being stalked by a telekinetic half-demon and an all-powerful cabal of sorcerers.

But other than that, Paige has a really ordinary life. That is, until the neighbours find out who she is, and all hell breaks loose. Literally...

Another edge-of-the-seat, hugely entertaining supernatural thriller from a rising star. Prepare to be enchanted...

this one was a little hard to get into, but once I did I liked it. I can see now why this series is called "the women of the otherworld" cause it's not just about one main character i've now noticed which is ok still makes it a good read. Poor Paige though it always sucks when "old magic" or "old Polotics" gets in the way of modern ideas and values. And to have your coven do what hers did to her OMG I would be like "um screw you!" with Paige it took her a long time to realize her coven wasn't the way to go at least for now. Savannah though that girl has some extremely wicked powers going on with her she might be pretty scary later on.
