Magic Of The Loch is a great magical paranormal read based on the Loch Ness Monster myth. I would love to go to Scotland. I just can’t imagine what I would do if I came face to face with Nessie. For this reason, I admired Michaela. She knew she was going to die and lived every day like it was her last and loved like there was no tomorrow.

First thing I have to point out is the speech. The author keeps up with that Scottish brogue throughout the book, and I can totally hear Sean Connery's voice speaking. It's pretty awesome. It's such a simple thing, but it totally got me. Another fairly simple thing is the way the magic worked. Shape shifters didn't need to strip down to shift, and when they came out of the water and shifted back to human, they'd be bone dry and clothed. So cool.

Nutt pens a story that will leave you breathless with "Magic of the Loch." Alan and his brother, Hyatt, are cursed to haunt Loch Ness as preternatural creatures throughout time. Can love break the curse?
The story opens with a fast paced prologue that explains the curse Alan and Hyatt fall under. The curse can only be broken when the men find their soul mates. Fast forward to modern day Scotland. Michaela Grant suffers from an aneurysm. She travels to Loch Ness for a great adventure before her in...more

Ms. Nutt has created a wonderful romance surrounded by the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Alan and Hyatt are two brothers cursed to spend eternity as the Loch Ness Monster. Every century they are given a short span of time to roam the earth as both human and the monster in order to search for a true love that will break their curse.
Michaela is suffering from a brain aneurysm and is given very little time to live, so she fulfills a lifelong dream and visits Scotland. Soon her world is full of m...more

I enjoyed this story which beautifully combined a contemporary setting with elements of myth, the supernatural and an all time favorite of mine: the legend of the Lochness Monster. Kudos to Karen Michelle Nutt for giving it such a clever spin and writing an engaging tale.
I was a little concerned when I began reading that the heroine might be a bit maudlin given her situation, but she was far from it. I normally latch onto heroes more than their female counterparts, but I adored Michaela Grant....more

It's been done again. Magic of the Loch is like some of the others by this author, with the ability to draw you in and tie you to the characters in order to feel as they do, including all the love respect they share. Even after finishing the last page, you yearn for more and await the chance to greet the characters again like they were old friends. You laugh and you cry while you traverse the magical tale that is spun out before you. This is one of the ones I look forward to reading again and ag...more

This is a new spin on the Nessie story and I must say, I love it! The characters, the speech, the setting, the plot and subplots are all woven into a mystical tapestry that is unique and entertaining. The story is one which keeps the reader turning pages to see what happens next!
An absolutely enchanting story! Loved it!
