MY REVIEW:
This book had been on my kindle since July 2022, and since I love magic and paranormal tales, I was looking forward to reading it.
When Sera’s grandmother dies, she inherits the house she had fond memories of, but also the one she ran away from as a teenager when life got too tough. Now, she’s back and it turns out her life wasn’t what she thought. Nor, who she was told she was.
I enjoyed this story with it’s simmering romance, which didn’t stay simmering for long, and all the Fae and witchy stuff. Sera’s character is relatable and believable along with her ex-boyfriend, Jake. We should all have a Jake in our lives.
The fantastical world Sera finds herself a part of adds to the enjoyment. We have an ex-husband who’s a real scumbag, and a Fae who wants to take over the world. And the ‘good’ Fae aren’t really as cutesy as we imagine them. They never do anything for free. As we’re always told, magic comes with a price.
As time ticks down to the destruction of the town, secrets are revealed, and Sera has a new reality to deal with. There was a lot of action and the story was paced just enough to keep my interest.
I did want to know what happened to Will, the ex-husband, but that wasn’t addressed in this book. Maybe the next? However, it seems the second book will be about the Fae leader and Jake’s friend. We shall see.
If you love paranormal romance, action and adventure, some snark and misadventure, you might enjoy this tale. I give it 4 stars.
DESCRIPTION:
Magic is real, fairies are obnoxious, and everyone knew the truth but me…
Sera Allen needs a change. The family house she inherits is the perfect place for a fresh start, except for the sexy neighbor she’d ditched years before and the surprise fairies living across the street. Before long, she’s neck-deep in magic, Fae, and zombie bunnies, and her tenuous connection to her powers relies on the one man she wants to avoid.
Jake Thomas is happy in his mundane life. Magic is for other people. Until the girl who’d broken his heart moves back home and he finds himself drawn into the world of the Fae. She needs his help, but can he trust her to stick around this time when things get rough?
With a dark force threatening the town, they’ll have to face their pasts and overcome their distrust to have any chance at a future. Together they can make magic, but will it be enough?
Accidental Magic is a full-length paranormal romance novel featuring a feisty heroine with a sarcastic response to everything and a snarky hero who gives as good as he gets.
