Fortysomething Annette Osmund always knew she was psychic. She’s not, but that didn’t stop her from giving those nonexistent abilities her all. What she is, however, is a very powerful witch who has just inherited magics she never dreamed possible.
Starting over in a new town with her BFF has been an adventure. Defiance’s status as a powerful type of witch called a charmling has kept Annette busy. But while Deph, a seeker, is still learning to use her magics, to control the power at her fingertips, Annette is overcome with powers of her own. Turns out, her being besties with Deph was not an accident. They were drawn to each other even before their powers emerged, and Annette learns she is also a charmling, a healer, and an alchemist. But what does that even mean?
Fortunately, there’s one way to find out. She consults the house they’re living in. Or, more to the point, the delicious entity haunting the house. Because, like her, he was once an alchemist. Maybe he will have the answers she so desperately seeks before she kills someone. The fact that he was once a stunning specimen of masculinity has nothing whatsoever to do with her desire to learn from a man who may or may not have been a powerful warlock.
Book 4 in this series takes a sharp turn, as this is the first time Jones has included a book from a different POV character. She’s written some extra-for-the-series books with alternate POVs, but this is part of the series from a different perspective.
Even though the POV shifts, the series has the same feel: similar humor, sincerity, steaminess, etc. This book, however, feels a LOT more like Charley Davidson–if you didn’t know the character names, it might be easy to confuse Annette with Charley.
If you’re looking for something different and fresh from Jones, this probably isn’t it. But if you love her style and are looking to enjoy more of her spin on stories, this is perfect for you.
