Mr. Thorne and The Witch & GIVEAWAY


Fleeing the men who brutally murdered her family, Karene Munroe must hide her magical abilities and hope to go unnoticed in the bustle of the capital city. She takes refuge in the house of Malcolm Thorne, a fireworks maker, who offers her a job as his assistant.

Despite her precarious situation, she cannot help but be drawn to this generous and charming man. A future with him could be wonderful, but her past won’t be laid to rest. From a local crime lord who seeks to use her powers, to the hunters who are hard on her heels, Karene is trapped in a maze of danger and lies. Can she find a way out before Malcolm is lost to her forever?


My Thoughts…
                                                                                                                        
Magic, witches, mobsters, and fireworks?   Sounds like an interesting combination.      Add in some romance and you know the story can’t be anything but wonderful.    

The characters in Mr. Thorne & the Witch were entertaining.    There were bad guys, good guys, stealing housekeepers, dead people, witches, and some just normal people.     Every single one of the characters was perfectly written for their part in this story.      The bad guys were really bad and deserved all that they got.    The good guy is my favorite of course.    The witch is someone I want as my friend.   The rest I enjoyed.  

The relationship between Karene and Malcolm was perfect.     I liked that Malcolm helped her out without expectations of anything in return.   Yet, she stayed and worked for him because it was what she wanted to do.    The learning of the firework making trade was a little confusing to me since I am not familiar with the chemicals used.      It was nice that Malcolm recognized that Karene needed to be able to tell him her story in her time and he did not push her to tell him before she was ready.   


I really enjoyed Mr. Thorne & the Witch.    I recommend checking it out.

Miss Ridley & The Warlock
Gemma Ridley’s first encounter with Squire Kenrik proves nothing short of alarming. So much so, she considers fleeing back to the city, despite the fact only poverty and scandal await her there. Could those challenges be worse than staying as governess on a haunted estate and working for a dangerously handsome eccentric?

Little does Gemma realize what dark secrets and wondrous enchantments will transform her life at Rook Hall. Squire Kenrik is more than he seems—more than any man she has known. He may be the source of her undoing, or he may hold the key to her deepest desires. Only time and the guidance of her heart will tell.

  1. I'm really loving Diana's books even though fantasy isn't my usual genre I can't get enough of them!

  2. I think I'd like the magical power to eat as much as I want and not gain weight because it would be amazing!
