Description from the publisher:
A new twist on the magical red shoes and two lovers worlds apart.

He’s The Uncrowned King of Right-Thinking Witches and Warlocks.  She’s the great-great-granddaughter of a witch killer and has never imagined genus-magicus practitioners walk among us.

Her black cat, red-sequined stilettos, and last name give The Uncrowned King all the clues he needs to recognize trouble with a capital B for big.

When Thea Gale brings Toto, her seriously injured black cat to the king's cat hospital, she’s wearing the red slippers.  He’s wearing hip-hugging black jeans and an attitude she finds sexily arrogant.  Admittedly, he’s smokin’ hot, but saving Toto raises his sexiness to magical.

When he admits why he’s obsessed with her shoes, Thea reacts by denying their undeniable attraction.  Not yet aware of her own powers, she refuses his plea for help to prevent war between genus-magicus folk and common humans.

He has teetered into melodrama in Thea’s eyes.  Helping misfits, as Great-great-grandmother Dorothy proved, upsets orderly life.  Thea craves normalcy—right up until his kiss leaves her sure she's bewitched.

BIG MAGIC is the first book in the Weird Magic trilogy.  They will need to be read in the order of release. 

Fate works in mysterious ways.  One evening my boyfriend told me he had a surprise for me on the TV.  There was a special on about how one of the pairs of shoes worn by Judy Garland during the filming of The Wizard of Oz had been stolen from her hometown museum thirteen years ago, but had been recently found.  Then next day, Barbara Plum gifted me with this book.  I took that as a sign and moved it to the top of my TBR pile.  I’m glad I did.

I enjoyed the quirky characters and snappy banter.  The storyline is entertaining with plenty of sexual tension and human/witch tension.  There is also a mystery plot involving black cat familiars that kept me engaged until the very end.

I’m looking forward to continuing the series.  I would recommend it to anyone who likes witches, romance, and sexy veterinarians. 

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
