Another fun caper with Jane Madison, Melissa, Neko, and David. Jane has a new man in her life, the sexy Brit Graeme Henderson, and is asked to join the exclusive Washington coven. In doing so, her magic is put to the test, and she revisits some high school style insecurity about fitting in with the "cool girls." As in The Girl's Guide to Witchcraft , Jane's voice is appealing, her adventures amusing, and her growth as a human being outshines her romantic ambitions. I liked the fir

It's been almost a year, but Jane still hasn't mastered this whole "witchcraft" thing. True, she managed to turn the Potomac River into ice, and can make small whirlpools in the sink...but those things aren't really helpful in real life...right?
Things are looking up for Jane's love life however, when a handsome Brit randomly walks into Melissa's bakery asking for a plateful of Lust. Floating on her prospects of a new beau, Jane's euphoria is short lived when David, her ward More...

Klasky emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and having faith in friends and family in her bewitching second romance featuring fledgling witch Jane Madison (after Girl's Guide to Witchcraft). Young librarian Jane believes getting into the elite Washington Coven, ruled by the prodigious Teresa Alison Sidney, is of major importance. If Jane wants to hold on to her familiar, her valuable book and gemstone collection andDavid Montrose, her hunky protector and instructor, she has to mee

I was kinda disappointed. This book was not nearly as funny as the last one. It was still really good. I felt like the main character really lost her center and did things that were out of character. I am not sure if it was the writing or if it was the character that just screwed her life up.

This is a great follow up to the first book, I'm really drawn into Jane Madison's world. I'll definitely be reading the next book, and more of Mindy Klasky's work, but later, I really need to get back to my backlog of books before I go buying more. I'm surprised my kindle doesn't smoke some days I buy so may books and novellas (I'm not rich, but when they're free or 99 cents I just can't help it). So I'll plan out when I get the next one, itll be like if I read 5 I can get a new book.

Well, even though the overall story line and plot is cute; this book is really a lot of fluff. I found myself skimming most of the pages in every chapter.
It's hard to know that this is the second book of the series because its really not addressed in the beginning of the book. Not much is mentioned from the first book. The characters are interesting, but every time a conversation starts, it just goes way off topic and turns into useless fluff. I really do enjoy Neko and his flamboya More...

Overall this was a nice book. You can definitely tell it was written by a librarian because she sneaks some information literacy nuggets into a short conversation and inner-monologue about Wikipedia. Also there's a struggle for the main character in her library of the focus switching from her as a research/reference services librarian to the library preferring her to run the coffee bar, do children's story times so the mothers can use it as free babysitting, and the quest to make the library mor

Yeah, so this series is rapidly becoming my guilty pleasure. Mindless fun, with a chick-lit heroine who doesn't *completely* annoy me... :)
Although (and I have to comment on this just to make Bonnie chuckle), the costuming bits are clearly written by someone who doesn't wear a costume. The librarian in this book has to wear a reproduction 18th century costume to work, and the one thing that pleases her about it? The fact that it takes so much less time in the mornings to get dres More...

Fledgling witch Jane has been set a daunting task—she must perform a crucial spell in order to not just join the prestigious Washington DC coven but prove she is competent enough to keep her spellbooks, spell working items, and familiar. She *has* the ability, or so she hopes, but so much is going on in her life that she might not have the time to learn the lessons she needs to learn… and more importantly, to realize that being true to yourself is the most important power anyone can have. It is

Wow. For about 3/4's of the book, I thought I was reading about someone in junior high school, because that is where Jane was mentally. Poor baby, she wasn't part of the popular crowd in school and even though she's got a job she loves, a couple of good friends and a new talent with magic, it just isn't enough if the coven won't warmly accept her. Man, I wanted to smack some sense into her multiple times.
Of course, everyone around her was just as juvenile at times, including her g More...

Sorcery and the Single Girl continues on with Jane's story. She previously learned that she's a witch, has a warder, David, and a familiar, Neko, who she awoke accidentally while investigating the library and treasure trove in her basement. Now, David tells her that the Coven wants to meet with her. She knows that if the Coven doesn't accept her, she will be forced to forfeit the entire Osgood collection of magical books and treasures, as well as Neko. The Coven wants what she has and she's

A very light-easy read series. The second in the Jane Madison series takes Jane into the DC coven. She is expected to complete a task in order to be accepted into the group. There were a couple twists I did not expect, but for the most part a fun easy read. My only issue with this book and the first one in the series is that Jane is often faced with challenges that bring out this 30 something’s inner high school freshman. A little more maturity would help solidify the character.

Okay, I really wanted to give this three stars, but I just can't. Jane just seemed to make one bad decision after another. I find that I really like all of the bit players, but our main character is really getting on my nerves. However, she finally started to see the light, and I absolutely loved the ending. But I can't deny that I found myself just wanting to get it over with for a large portion of the book.

Follow up to "A Girl's Guide to Witchcraft". Jane has some a little ways in her magical learnings, but has a lot to learn still when it comes to relationships. A little slower paced than the first book, but still a nice story that has a little romance, a little magic, and some intrigue thrown in. Good book to just while a way some time with, not much heavy thinking required.

The overwhelming feeling while reading this book was "...am I missing something?" Second in a series, right? Yeah, didn't get that till the end. *is slow*
So add that to the fact that the prose attempts to be witty and sharp and fails spectacularly, and I didn't have the best time with this novel. Jane is like a boring Phoebe Halliwell, without the quirky outfits, and Neko is unnecessary and annoying. David is lacklustre as a (potential?) romantic interest, and Graeme is jus More...

For some reason I've become attracted to paranormal chick lit. The first book in this series was one of the first I read in this genre and I enjoyed it - not enough to read again but worthy of reading the sequel. Unfortunately, this book, the sequel, wasn't worth reading at all. It was tedious and I often wondered if I'd ever get through it. Being a quick reader it killed me to waste time on it as the story just seemed to drag on and on. There was so much attention given to the actual whys and w

A cute, quick read. I think I remember liking the first one better, but it was still good :) I got a little irritated with the author's use of exclamation points (I feel like everything the main character said was screamed at the person she was talking to because of all of the exclamation points), but other than that, I liked it :)

Another fun read. A little frustrating because it's so obvious WHO Jane is supposed to end up with and that the romantic interest in this book is bad news. Nonetheless, still a fun read - more of the quirky librarian stuff that I loved in the first book.

Really enjoyed the writing style and humour. Unfortunately I didn't realise this was the second book in the series, will have to try and get the first book. Certainly an easy and delightful read worthy of a rainy day.

I enjoyed this book enough to stay up and finish it to see how it ended, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series. Overall, though, it was light, entertaining, and fun.

Why trilogies should never have a second part. Equally fluffy, only read it because the e-book was available at the library for my instant gratification.

2nd in the series. Just as fun as the first - romance, friendship, and light-hearted writing that takes you away and let's you just have a good time.
