Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be a witch living today? How do you pay your bills? Where do you go to find others like you? Well Modern Witch by Debora Geary answers all those questions.
Modern Witch is a cute and very entertaining book, easily read in an afternoon. It kept my interest from start to finish with its refreshing concept. It’s an airy contemporary fantasy with plenty of laugh-out-loud humor, a little romance, and characters you won’t want to leave.
After reading several heavy horror stories I was in the mood for something lighter and maybe just a little more girlie. This led me to Modern Witch and I am so glad it did! I love fantasy, sci- fi, urban fantasy, horror, any way I can get it. I read it voraciously. I don’t have impossibly high standards, but to name a few; interesting characters, dialogue, and a compelling plot is a requirement. The characters and storylines made for a quick and enchanting read. Which allowed me to fall in love with Debora’s characters. When I closed the book it was with the heavy heart of leaving the characters behind.
This novel does not start with the typical intro you’d expect from books that involved witches, but it is supposed to be a “modern” witch story. I even got teary eyed in a few parts of the book. It is quite an enjoyable novel and not dark at all. If you are looking for a more “witchy” or dark tale this book is not for you.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the author, but she certainly won me over. I was drawn in by her words and almost put sound to the voices. If you’re looking for something lighthearted that will make you smile, this book is it!
