EPIC battle royale ✨❤
Our beloved friends from Mosswood are in yet another pickle. Enough is enough....Rosie and Declan have the long awaited face off with their biggest foes-- yup, those rascally wizards. Two specific wizards get special "high noon" treatment 😉. Talk about "the one we've ALL been waiting for!". There's oodles of snark, action, intrigue, and a brilliant cast of characters that always leaves you wanting to return. Though our visit was short this time, I thoroughly enjoyed this jam packed read. Plus...how can you go wrong with a visit from our friendly neighborhood vampire BFF, Dracula 😉✨? Watching Gabe and Maggie truly come into their own was also an absolute joy. This reader gives two thumbs up indeed.

The Wizard, the Witch and the War...as the title says, the war has finally come to Rosie and family. Writing about a war could get monotonous but Louisa West manages to keep the reader on the edge of her seat. There is never a dull moment in this book. This has been such a great series and I enjoy it more and more with each new book. It has definitely been worth the wait. Louisa is a great writer and story teller and I can't wait for her next book!

Worth the wait.
Definitely worth the wait. Another fine mess that no one knows how they will get sorted. It becomes a battle of magic, wills and nearly life. Old allies pull through in a big way. The is some treachery along the way but, gets handled eventually. I guess alla well that ends well. Good hook.

I love the rest of the books in this series but I had a hard time getting into this one. I think it just felt so unrealistic that a war would break out and everyone would take the time to talk, shower and eat before going to help. I also had a hard time with the main character doing all of that pregnant with no consequences.

Final Battle
This book is a continuous battle of between the witches and the evil wizards with each family member stepping up and playing their part, including Dracula. While it is a battle there is a lot of love and heart and Rosie is true to her nature. Wondering what is left for the final book.

The witch and wizard war
In this book, Louisa West keeps you on the edge of your seat. Rosie finds out that the Council is under attack. They go to help. Fox cottage is also under attack. Merlin makes an entrance, and they must make sure the wizards don't help Morgana escape. I loved reading this book and couldn't put it down.

Less loss than expected
Well, it was a whirlwind of a battle. I thought we were going to lose some major characters as we did with Carol Ann. It was good to see everyone's powers and some deserving justice.

Love this series!
All the characters feel real like you would meet them in your own life. We all know someone like Tammy, Rosie Ben, Prissy, etc.
