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...

Not gonna lie I was really nervous starting this book. I love Elena and I didn’t want to read about anyone else. Plus in the first books I hated Paige. A lot. Thank god Kelley Armstrong is amazing because I loved this book as much as the others. Paige does take some getting used to but then you read about her story and you start to feel bad. No wonder she’s so clueless sometimes! Her little witch coven is crazy. I’m actually really glad we got to read about Paige. And then Luke comes in. I didn’t think I’d find him attractive but do I ever! Savannah was great too. I felt so bad for her! I just loved all the character as much as the characters in the first two books. Kelley just has this way of making you love everybody even if you wouldn’t normally like them in real life. I like how real they are too. Everyone complains about Paige being stubborn sometimes but that’s how people are! She’s really brave and determined to and those aren’t bad things.

The plot is fantastic as well. Instead of learning about the werewolves we get to learn about the witches and boy are they crazy! I think the werewolves are less scary then that coven. I loved that there was action and a bit of romance but it wasn’t a fluffy book. When something happened there wasn’t a magic wand that fixed everything. There were some really crazy parts! Paige is much more brave than I give her credit for.

Basically, everyone needs to read this book. Once you’re finished you’ll be thinking why have I not read this before! It’ll change your entire reading experience!
