Myrtlewood Mysteries Omnibus: Books 1-3

Just started book one , gentle read , interesting Characters , if you like the movie Practical Magic you will like these books ,no romance blossoming yet but I think it will come somewhere

This book isn’t a challenge to read, I’d say it’s very good teen fiction full of witchcraft, fairy magic & mythical beings. Having said that, as someone who is definitely well past teenage years I enjoyed it all & have immediately started book 4!

I absolutely loved this first Boxset,I love anything Magical and Fantasy and Unexplainable and really enjoyed this set,the Characters are really funny and the storyline is brilliant,so glad I found this Author on Amazon and started reading the books,I love the relationship between Rosemary and Athena,and I love the House and wot it can do,I would love to live in a Town like Myrtlewood,I cannot wait to read the next boxset,which I have already downloaded...

These books are just so brilliant, I was hooked immediately and after devouring the first and seconds books in rapid speed, I realised I was enjoying books again. Reading was my biggest joy for so many years and then life got in between and although I’ve tried picking it back up for a long time I’ve not really gotten back into it… well that changed with these well-written & exciting stories. I just adore these books, the mix of cosy and unexpected twists and turns, and I love the author’s ability to paint the picture effortlessly, describing characters that are so relatable yet infuriating, and equal parts mysterious & complex - you just want more! It’s the quickest I’ve ever finished a whole book series!

If you enjoyed watching Midsummer Murders and love fantasy books, then you are in for a real treat!The characters are well put together, each with their imperfect quirks. They are easy to connect with, especially the dynamic relationship between a single mother and her teenage daughter. It is a joy watching all the character grow and mature as they realise their abilities and navigate modern society norms.Each book is centred around a Pagan festival. It is clear the author has real knowledge and love for all things magical and mythical.

Nice gentle read if you like witchy stuff

Rosemary is a little annoying, but the other characters definitely make up for that. The story line is engaging and Thorne Manor is amazing!

I really enjoyed this book and although a mighty sized book I read it quite quickly and have ordered book 4-6. I’ve always enjoyed fantasy stories .

Book was thorough enjoyed

This series often reminded me of the true blood series. This series is suspenseful, engaging, relative, and definitely hard to put down..this will be shelved with my “favorites” that I often read and read again.

Great light hearted read.

I have to start by saying the premise of the story and the basic story line are fascinating. The various holidays and rituals are well researched. The story is grammatically correct with no noticeable errors. Many of the secondary characters were well written and a bit fascinating.My issue was the main characters, especially the mother. Usually, authors use a bit of comedy when writing characters who passed TSTL several ideas ago. I don’t understand why the mother was written the way she was. I sincerely hope neither the author or her mother were single parents like her main character. She flies back and forth between being a brainless twit to being a controlling monster. Both parent types are damaging to the children.The daughter, begins the book as the sensible, keep a good grip on reality, overly responsible child. She feels like she has to be the adult because her mother is incapable but at the same time resents the fact her mother keeps her in the dark making life even more difficult. Even at her worst acting out teen behavior she is more like a sulking 10 year old than a teen who actually has reason for acting out. From the beginning of the book it is clear she is tired of taking care of her mother and just wants a normal life.I think the constable is intended to be a bit of comic relief but is too heavy handed to really be funny.I know these three books take place over just over 3 months but mom becomes a paranoid,controlling dictator who is completely ruled by her fears, both real and imaginary. I just had a hard time with moms behavior. She could use a few weeks in a locked ward to work through everything in a safe environment.I had a really hard time rating this because there was so much variability between the three books that make up this collection. They really ranged from a 3 star to a 5 star which made it somewhat difficult to rate them. I would suggest the reader keeps going when it seems like the book may end up dnf. It really was worth continuing and despite my feelings about several of the characters I do want to read the next book.

Super bon livres!
