Blurb
Iris McKenzie is on a mission – her scheming ex-boyfriend stole her grandmother’s locket and she’ll do anything to get it back, even using the magic she’s always kept hidden. But what she isn’t prepared for is competition…
Lynx Oakwood has been tasked with recovering the same locket and along with his fellow witches from the magical village of Midnight, Lynx believes the locket holds great powers that could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Both are determined to take the locket, but neither is prepared for meeting their match. For not only is the connection between them electric, but with Iris’s ability to see into the future she can foresee a blissful destiny with Lynx she isn’t prepared for. So when Iris’s pursuit of the locket leads her to the charming village of Midnight, she does everything she can to avoid the future that’s mapped out for her. But the more time Iris spends living amongst magical people freely enjoying their powers, the more she feels she belongs, and the harder it gets to stop her heart falling for Lynx.
And when the locket brings a cauldron full of trouble to both Iris and Midnight, Lynx’s commitment to protect her reveals a love that’s true beyond fate. Will she deny herself happiness simply because it’s written in the stars? Or is there only so long Iris can run from her destiny?
My Review
Book 2 in The Midnight Village books and this time there are more witchy goings on, more talking animals and even some spice.
Iris was a wonderful character and being half witch and half kelpie brought something new. Kelpie’s are often solitary so how will she and her nan react to being in a village where everyone knows everything, sometimes even before it happens and how will the community react to having kelpies living alongside them?
Then there is the love interest Lynx, pure fire to Iris’s water and I couldn’t think of anyone more suited to show her how to trust again and that not all men are as slimey as her dastardly ex. Trust me when I say the revenge scene was pure magic and it had me wondering what horrible things I could come up with.
Oh how I would love to spend a day in Midnight, visiting all the magical shops and possibly introduce Viktor the talking cat to my very own Percy Mayhem. I bet they would get up to all sorts of mischief.
All I need now is a spell to make sure Holly writes a book for Storm, he deserves a love story.
