A Review of Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton

Four and a half fangs for Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton

OK, who knew knitting could sound fun and sexy and could be the perfect setting for a paranormal romance, well that and the fictionally fun, supernatural town of Sugar Maple, Vermont where Chloe Hobbs, the only human in town is the owner of the knitting shop Sticks and Strings.

I don't speak knit talk so some of the terms had me lost but I skipped over all that because what really matters is that I do speak paranormal and romance.

Barbara Bretton's Casting Spells definitely cast a spell over me and I am sure it will cast a spell over you as well. I read through the book quick because I was so engrossed and I wanted to know what happened, who did what and of course if Chloe got the guy. The guy being Luke MacKenzie a cop who came to town to investigate the first murder in Sugar Maple's history. The cop that Chloe instantly falls for even though he's a human and she's half sorceress with currently no magically ability but still supposed to seek out only magical men for the sake of the town.

Ah it's a complicated situation and nothing is as it seems in Sugar Maple, not even to Chloe who has lived there all her life.

Casting Spells will knit you up into a web and won't let you go until the book is finished. It was completely engrossing and a fabulous story. I love how the characters change and evolve and how Chloe herself finally gives in and deals with what she has to do to make things right. And Luke, hmmm, always been a sucker for green eyes myself...something about the rarity of them. True green eyes you don't see very often...more like never.

The story was a fun whirlwind of plot, character development and flat out fun combined with good paranormal elements and heated romance. Everything a reader could ask for.

And I loved the cats who play minor rolls in the book, but the showstopper had to be the shape shifting friends and the maddening dancing silverware. Sounds crazy right?

Read the book, you'll love it.
