Description from the publisher:
A TRIPLE MAGICAL THREAT!

The Fairchild triplets Olivia, Esme and Agatha have earned a scholarship to the MAGNIFICO FINISHING SCHOOL FOR MAGICAL ARTS, but these witches keep havin’ glitches!

Hidden from street view yet occupying several acres of prime real estate in the heart of Manhattan, a powerful centuries old spell keeps the towering silver spires and majestic structure from being viewed by “ORDS” aka “Ordinarius “ -the non-magical population.

Determined to win high honors, they have a history of mixing up spells with sometimes hilarious and sometimes dangerous results!

On their best behavior, and with their mutually shared and adored BFF Audra, and her brother Melvin, they plan to please Uncle Rufus, their doting Guardian, and achieve the kind of excellence in the Magic Arts that would have made their parents proud!

Friendly feuding and frolicking abound in this tale of magical mischief!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
G'WITCHES is posted as a stand-alone story, but it feels like the second book in a trilogy.
  Though I feel like I received what I needed to know from the first story in the blurb, that information does not come across in the story, so make sure you do read the blurb  Then the ending is left open for another book to follow.
 
This is a really cute YA story of middle school magical mischief including teenage relationships – both boyfriends and bffs – classes, competitions, and a little bit of mystery to be solved.

DATING A WEREWOLF by Abbey MacMunn

Series:  Love Bites #2
Author:  Abbey MacMunn
Publisher:  Tirgearr Publishing
Publish Date:   09.16.2020
Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing:  received as an unedited ARC / errors excused

Description from the publisher:
Alpha werewolf, Grayson Beckett, thinks money can buy anything—including a wife. But when he joins Love Bites, a dating agency for supernaturals, finding a mate proves harder than he thought.

To help her boss, dating agency coach, Jamie Osborne, reluctantly agrees to go on a date with Grayson. After all, she’d dumped her cheating fiancé at the altar, she could handle an arrogant werewolf, right?

Tensions run high, but the date goes better than Jamie expected when Grayson turns out to be a doting dad with a tragic past.

But can the alpha win her trust and melt her heart?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DATING A WEREWOLF is the second book in the Love Bites series.  Though each book in the series will stand on its own (so far), I recommend reading them all and in the order or release to appreciate the backstory.
 
I am loving this fun and easy-to-read series.  I love the less-than-series, relaxed time I get to spend with these characters.  The cartoon vibe on the covers perfectly prepares me for what I find inside.  This story is absolutely entertaining.  I admit I laughed out loud more than once and I’m still smiling as I write this review.  That’s when you know the humor is true.
 
I don’t know who will be matched up next, but I’m ready for more giggles!

TAIL OF A WITCH by J. Thompson

Title:  TAIL OF A WITCH
Series:  Kracken’s Hole #2
Author:  J. Thompson
Publisher:  J. Thompson
Publish Date:   10.26.220
Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance, Romantic Comedy
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing:  received as an unedited ARC / errors excused
Received from:  J. Thompson
Goodreads link: Tail of a Witch
Date completed: 10.28.2020
 
Description from the publisher:
Cursed.
Arietta was convinced that’s what it was.
Or at the very least, someone had her voodoo doll and was having the time of their life with it.
With a family she never knew, and a familiar that needs major therapy, can Arietta learn to trust again? Or will the curse win—and take more than her soul with it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TAIL OF A WITCH is the second book
in the Kracken’s Hole series and part of the multi-author Magic and Mayhem Universe.  Though each story in this trilogy will stand on its own, I recommend reading them in order since there is a building of the world from one book to the next.
 
Maeve’s cousin Arietta was cursed by her father’s narrow-mindedness and resentment.  Luckily, when he rejected her, Maeve and the krakens believed in family unconditionally.
 
I love this series and the belief that the socially inept are lovable, intelligent, and worthy.  There is hidden depth and value to the marginalized…. Both the girls, their familiars, and the krakens.
 
Now before you think I believe this was a heavy, preachy story, I don’t.  I just see the depth of the story behind the story.  In truth, it was fun, funny, and easy to read.
 
The only thing missing from this story was an explanation for where her ginger cat was for the last few years while her father held her hostage from her heritage.  Was he hiding in the shadows until he could reveal himself?  It wasn’t clearly explained.
 
I am looking forward to the final cousin joining these Kraken Guardians.  I’ll be reading and encourage you to read all three books with me.
