Wicked Brew: A Wicked Witches of the Midwest is a fun book to read. A lot of comedy with a bit of mystery thrown in. Love the family dynamics in this witty group witches lives. Never a dull moment in their lives therefore, never a dull moment when reading any of the books in this series. Another great job by Amanda M. Lee.

I just love Amanda M Lee's style of writing.  She incorporates humor, mystery, and a little sprinkle of fright into each of her Avery Shaw books, and this one is no different.  Such a great read!

Abby and Dutch are back at it again, solving crimes and getting stuck right in the middle of the action. I always enjoy reading about Abby's spunky character. It's a mystery of who done it right up to the end. Very well written in Laurie's typical style. I enjoyed having MJ and Abby in the same story. A fun read, you won't be disappointed.

Amanda DeWees is always fantastic. Great for fans of Victoria Holt or Barbara Michaels. Well written with elements of paranormal that don't overwhelm the book. .

Great  novella by Amanda Lee.  Getting to know  Land on and Marcus a little better was me at, although I have to confess I enjoy the full length stories more.

I love this book, especially because is a very fun and ligth reading. And sometimes I felt such a connection with Emma, the main character, that even when it's no a deep book you do feel touched by the story. So if you're looking something to read just to laugh and have a nice time, this is your book :).

This was a fun book to read. I was invested in the characters and didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read the next one.

Descended from Dragons was a very fun book to read.  Anne Moody is the heroine and she is a well written character.  The book is set in Las Vegas and we are introduced to Anne who we find out is a sorcerer who is descended from dragons.  This bit of ancestry allows her to control a dragon familiar and also allows her to become a dragon, but that is something she can never let herself do unless she wants to go on a rampage.  So she is caught in this careful balancing act and for most of her life she has pretty much flown under the radar.  But then it all changes when a cute guy walks in to her pawn shop and sells her a gargoyle.  The following 48 hours or so of her life are crazy, dangerous and intriguing.

Speaking of her pawn shop, it is cursed.  Her pawn shop and how Anne handles the various cursed items in her pawn shop were one of my favorite things about the book.  There was a certain comedy to it and I found myself chuckling several times when I pictured Anne having to navigate the crazy place she calls her work and home.  I don't think I'd want to live in a cursed pawn shop.  Anne doesn't really want to live there either, but apparently there are issues with Karma and such if you knowingly subject someone to a curse just to get yourself out of it. So she is a bit stuck, but she takes it in stride.

I can honestly say that I really enjoyed reading this book.  I found Anne and her best friend Melanie to be fun and endearing characters.  I don't like to reveal too much in reviews so I will leave the synopsis part of my review and get down to pros and cons.

Pros
* I really enjoyed the characters.  There was a nice balance of good and bad characters and some who were a bit dark but not necessarily "bad".  I think Tricia Owens did a good job walking that thin line while creating some of her characters.
* The story is pretty fast paced and keeps you interested.
* There is a good amount of suspense built up during the story.
* Tricia Owens imagination when creating the cursed pawn shop and some of the different items that reside in that pawn shop are some of the highlights of the book for me.
* Overall just a good and enjoyable read

Cons
* The book is a bit short
* There were a few times that I found myself checking to make sure this was book 1 because I felt like I was missing back story at times.  For the most part, Tricia took care of filling you in as you go, but there were definitely times that I felt like I had walked in to the middle of a conversation and I found myself a little lost.
* There is quite a bit of vagueness around some of the magic in the book.  I am not sure if the author plans to delve deeper into some of the magic introduced, or if it is just magic and you leave it at that.

I would recommend this book.  It is a quick and easy read, but very enjoyable.  There is one sex scene at the end of the book, but I think Ms. Owens handled it well and it was pretty tastefully done.  But I always like to point out if books include things like that because as a Mom, I like to know ahead of time if there would be things in a book that I wouldn't want my young daughters to read.  So just wanted to put that out there.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.  This book ends with not quite a cliff hanger, but definitely some unfinished business and some questions about what will be the fallout from the different choices that Anne had to make.

I received an advanced review copy of this book so I could read it and share my honest thoughts and opinions.

Ms Lee has brought together an amusing group of  Characters.  They remind me quite a bit of the Witch Central group, only feistier.  I especially love Aunt Tillie.  These are fun adventures. Thanks Ms Lee.
