What a fresh take on technology and magic! I love the small business scenes and the idea a coven is pretending to be a book club. The narrator has a nice voice and feels just right for the story. Cinnabon Man is real boyfriend material and, all of the characters have flaws. However, the book has problems. I wish the witch hunter had a serious introduction instead, the pacing slows for the sex scenes and a separate off-screen romance. The grandmother and the hunter are both left for the second book to deal with. While characters have flaws, any improvement is rushed or dropped. Overall, it's a cute, lighthearted book about family and relationships great for the Halloween season.
