First Moon by Jacquelyn FayeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fun and Feisty Witch Shenanigans
I haven’t read anything by this author before but this series was recommended on one of my Facebook groups so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I have to say I was not disappointed. This book was exactly what I was in the mood for. It was funny and sexy with plenty of whodunnit to satisfy a hardened Miss Marple fan.
Dot is a 99 year old witch, who’s mother is the head of her coven. The coven is well established and the humans in the small town know about the witches in their midst. However, Dot’s mother is probably going to be around for centuries and she wants to get out from under her mother’s wing. She feels a magical ‘pull’ towards somewhere else so she and her best friend Josie pack up their bags and head off North to find out where their destiny lies.
They end up in the small town of Cedar Falls where the economy has tanked and all the youngsters are leaving town as soon as possible, heading for a larger city to settle down in. Dot and Josie like the place and start settling in quickly, just as someone is magically murdered. Much magical mayhem ensues. In addition there are some very handsome and ‘friendly’ men in the coven that seem to like Dot as much as she likes them. They also don’t seem to object to the competition.
I loved this book. It was filled with witty banter and easy going relationships. As this is the first in the series it was nice to see there was no diving head first into insta-love territory. There was attraction and dating. There was also lots of fooling around and I have to say it was probably more erotic than full on sex scenes would have been. There was genuine affection between most of the characters, even when things started out rocky, things were hashed out. It was all very adult, which isn’t surprising when the main character is 99 years old!
I really can’t wait to read the next in the series.
