Magic and Mayhem #3
A Witch in Time
One of these things is not like the others—life threatening community theatre, wire hangers, chipmunks, tree-house sex-capades with a hot werewolf and head-shrinking with a porno-loving rabbit Shifter.
Actually none of these things are even remotely like the others, but it’s my life and I’m going to make the pieces fit into a perfect puzzle—even if I have to shove it together and glue it with magic.
New leaf, new leaf, new freakin’ leaf.
Caring for people wasn’t in my repertoire until I landed in Assjacket, West Virginia. Falling in love wasn’t anywhere on my agenda. It’s messy. However, I’ve been told messy is what showers and therapy are for. I’m hoping that info is correct because Goddess knows I’m trying.
Never until now have I been a witch that wanted it all—the guy, the job, the friends and the place called home. Now I just have to fix my slightly irresponsible and somewhat unstable witchy ways so I deserve it.
I’m going for perfect…or at least a loose definition of the word.
Messy…here I come.

THE REVIEW
Why this book?
I love this series
What I thought
This was my least favorite book of the series,but Just like the other books in this series; this book was highly entertaining. I read it straight through I couldn't stop. It wasn't as funny as the other 2, but there still were times I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. I just love the crazy characters and the crazy situations they get themselves into. One thing that bugged me though was the thespian/Lesbian joke got old fast. Overall an enjoyable read that I recommend.

Instead of fun and enjoyable, this one was just exhausting. The thespian/lesbian joke got REALLY OLD REALLY SOON and reading it in almost in every freaking chapter was grating to say the least. Zelda's insistence on being unlovable was starting to get pretty annoying too, but thankfully by the end she had a change of heart.

Love these books
These books kinda remind me of Janet Evanowich's Stephanie Plum series but in paranormal format. The writing is witty and fun. I love the characters, they are fun and interesting. Unlike the Evanowich series, Zelda changes from being a horrible wanker shifter whisper to an experienced one, she continued to get better at her job and relationships. The relationship between Zelda and Mac is wonderful and it was great to see their relationship change and deepen. Definitely cannot wait to read another book by this author, all of her books so far have been so much fun.

The Magic and Mayhem Series has been amazing from the beginning. Each one is a story in itself while following this crazy Witch who is the new Shifter Whisper. But this book was a little different. It was Zelda's time to heal herself, and of course in the Peterman way. Crazy, fun, loving, with a side of sexy. Plus we get a few new characters to add to the mix!!
A total must read this spring!!

I really needed this book, another hilarious addition to the series! This author never fails to make me laugh. Also loved the ending! Full review to come soon!

Robyn Peterman has done it again! I swear this series just gets better and better with each book. A Witch in Time is without a doubt the best and my new favorite - I just loved it!
I love Zelda - she's funny, sassy, and has that whole amusing selfish thing going on along with the caring, heart of gold side of her that she keeps on the down low. She's her same awesome and amusing self, but she does have this insecure, indecisive side to her as well that kind of made me itch with frustration but didn't full-on annoy me because everybody and I know what she's worth and how lovable she is except for her. Don't worry, though, Zelda tries to figure it and she does and that made me love her even more!
Although I think A Witch in Time is the best book in the Magic and Mayhem series, I didn't always think that. It had the humor and crazy antics, but there was that little frustration I had about Zelda's doubts and the book just hadn't punched me in the gut yet or brought out the harder emotions. And it took a while, but then Ms. Peterman definitely delivered. A Witch in Time was funny and silly, a little maddening and crazy, but it was also beautiful, touching, and deep. It was supertastic and I can't wait for whatever comes next!
A Witch in Time is the third book in this series and it must be read after the first two. It's told in Zelda's POV and the ending had me sighing and melting - it was so awesome!

Marie's Tempting Reads Review:
Magic, Mayhem, fun, sexy good time...THAT is exactly what I got in A Witch In Time the third book in Robyn Peterman's Magic and Mayhem series. I am always eager to read one of Miss Peterman's books because I KNOW that she will deliver a book that is fun and full of laughs, outrageous things, and sexy alpha males. Heck, I grinned even before I started it because, again, I KNEW what was to come!
I love Zelda and Mac! These two are combustible together and add in the fun and completely insane shifters, this book was a GUARANTEE win! I enjoyed the many array of shifters. Things are always popping up that will leave you rolling on the floor laughing, and shaking your head with the outrageous things that seem to come out of some of their mouths. It is pure fun and always a good time. I would absolutely LOOOOVE more in this series!
A Witch In Time gets a OUTRAGEOUSLY FUN FOUR SHOOTING STARS! This book will keep you giggling and smiling long after you read the book. Keep these books coming Robyn Peterman...I NEED MORE!

5 Candi Kisses
Excellent Edition to the Magic & Mayham Series
The cast of characters is huge and they mostly all return for this next installment of the Magic & Mayham Series. Shifters of all kinds can be found in Assjacket West Virginia, from the Sexy Alpha King of the Shifters to the chipmunks. This story has everything you look for in a Robyn Peterman masterpiece.
Zelda is trying to figure out if she can love. Not just herself but anyone. Fabio (her Daddy) has faith that she will find her way to seeing that she is a good and worthwhile daughter, friend and mate. After having the mother from hell, Daddy’s little girl is skeptical, but does find that she can love and be loved and not spontaneously combust.
The humor, suspense, and love are evident in this book. Not only for the characters, but you can visually see an author’s writing that was LOVED… Robyn is one of my favorites and never disappoints. The ending is superb and to be continued, which makes me giddy as a school girl.

this book is nothing short of brilliant , i laughed so much reading parts of this , ie ber the lesbian honey badger conversation that i got some strange looks from the other people in the hospital where i was reading it .zelda is a witch thats done time in prison , is now the shifter whisper or is that wanker & is determined to turn over a new leaf or many new leaves . her dad has a career switch from gambler to director of the local community play & i will never associate bon jovi with music ever again . her therapist is a rabbit her boyfriend a werewolf , this book is zelda's journey to finding love & being loved , amazing .
April 28, 2016
I think of all the books in this series I liked this one the best.
While Robyn delivers the laughs, as always, there was a serious undertone to this one. Zelda is always wondering if she is good enough for Mac, why her Mother didn't love her, does she love her father... things that we wonder ourselves at times....
She ends up going for therapy to try and figure all these things out...all the while she is the star in a play her father is directing, and has some crazy chipmunks trying to kill her.
Want to laugh...smile....and feel good...this is a perfect read for you!!!

Oh my godesss
Once again Robyn Peterman knocks it out of the park. Woke up with this new saga on my kindle and had to start reading right away. All I can say is I want my own Mac and someone I can call yabawhoknowstomuch all for my very own. Thank you for your wicked sense of humor and your exquisite word choices. Neverdidithinkarunonsentence could be so funny. I can't wait to see what the next book will be like!!!!

Each book keeps getting better and better. Zelda is turning over a new leaf. Let the mayhem commence! Lots of laugh out loud moments with this fun cast of characters. This time there were a lot of tender moments with Zelda & Mac too. Sigh..I love me some Mac! You can't lose when you pick up one of Robyn Peterman's books!
April 27, 2016
I think this one is my favorite in this series! The Mommie Dearest musical had me rolling. I have loved seeing Zelda grow and finally realizing that she deserves to be loved and to love people as well. I really loved this one. And I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a good hilarious read! Great job Robyn!
April 28, 2016
Fun
I love the shifter community. A bunch of odd balls that are just what Zelda needs to overcome her emotional baggage. You think there is no way the story could funnier than the last and then the singing starts. Brilliant!

OMG!!
Robyn, I love you!! This is the best book so far! I learned so much, about myself and people around me. I know that may not have been your intention but I did. I don't want to give anything away but I learned. And I laughed my ass off through it!! Thank you.

Another winner! If you want to laugh until you cry, read one this author's book. This is book 3 in the series and is hysterical. Literally, if you're reading this in public, be prepared for strange looks as you laugh through the book. Fun plot and great humor - what could be better?
April 29, 2016
As in all of Robyn's books I loved it!! No one can make me laugh like her!! As usual I am already waiting for the next book!!

Excellent
This is really a great series. You can see Zelda grow as a character while still keeping her humor. I love zaney characters and stories that make me laugh and smile. Each book get better. The characters develop more and more. You get to follow along in their lives and learn a lot about life and love and keeping your humor when shit hits the fan. Because at some point it will and why not laugh and make it into a joke whenever you can. Laughter is healing in it's own way. And it's a heck of a lot better then keeping your head buried in the sand in denial or running away or just plain crying your way through. It's one of the reasons I like Zelda so much. She knows she's a mess but she keeps trying to improve and be the best mess she can be. She learned from her trauma to make sure she dosnt make the same mistakes for her kids that were made by her mother monster. One of the reasons I love this series are the nuggets of wisdom splashed in with humor. It's not what other believe that matters it's what you believe. Its also what you know to be true. We're all a little bit of a mess or Cray cray. It's learning to love ourselves despite our mess and in a nutshell that's what this story was about. Zelda had the hard part down. She already knew she was a bit of a mess it was learning to know it was ok to love herself mess and all so she could freely love others and accept that, mess and all, she deserved to be loved to. All that and She did it the right way, no shortcuts.. I'd be lucky to have Zelda as a friend. The author hid a deep and awesome message in a fun and zaney way. That is one kick ass author!

Wonderfully funny. I laughed out loud all the way through the book. It is charming and sexy, but most important it is gut busting funny. The language is blue and the humor racey (warning for those who don't appreciate that). I had so much fun with this book. It's one of those books that you have to read the two previous books to really appreciate the story. But the first two books are also really fun.

Fabulous!
Zelda is forced to face all of her insecurities, and the resulting story is tender, insight-filled, and hilariously funny. Highly recommended!

Snap this book up! And if you didn't read the first one's snap them up too!
First off, this is book three in the series, so I apologise if I give things away from the first books. But if you haven't read those by now then shame on you for missing another great Robyn Peterman series! Anyways, I bought the book because I'd read the first two and couldn't wait to gobble up the next story. As for this book I spent a lot of time cheering for Zelda and all the weird denizens in her life. Mac, the shifter king, is hot as all get out and so in love with Zelda that it spins her emotions out of control! Too funny, but in a very relatable way. The antics are non stop and the situations that Zelda and company get into are hilarious!
Her dad, Fabio, has alienated almost the whole town with his poke skills and his cheating skills (at poker). He's decided that putting on the town's annual play/musical is a great way to win friends and influence people. One catch, they'll only let him if Zelda agrees to be in the show. Mayhem ensues.
Mac on the other hand has only two things in mind. One, have amazing sex with Zelda. Two, get Zelda to agree to become his mate in full. Oh and I guess there's a third thing, protect Zelda at all costs! Something that he is scary good at.
Add in all the wonderful shifters, like Roger the porno loving therapist, Wanda, the owner of the best Diner in town and some chipmunk's and fat cats (and I do mean obese), a psycho ex-cell mate and everyone else and you have one really great and hilarious story.
Don't think too long about this one, just buy the series and enjoy!

A Witch in Time: Magic and Mayhem Book Threes is AWESOME! Robyn Peterman again comes up with a great story line with incredible humor. The main characters, Zelda and Mac, generate a lot of heat. Zelda is trying to come to grips with a lot of stuff including parental issues, new powers, falling in love, a horrible acting role, and someone out to get her. Mac's main goal is to convince Zelda that they are in love. The secondary characters are quite a unique bunch. They are strange yet oddly lovable and loyal. Their shenanigans will have your laughing out loud and ready to read many more Robyn Peterman books.

Book 3 is worth the price of admission!
A Witch in Time by Robyn Peterman is the third in the Magic and Meyhem series. Zelda has started to settle into her role as the Shifter Wanker, and now it's up to Mac to convince her that she's worthy of both receiving and giving love. Zelda and her dad are both trying to be better people, to earn their place in town, so there are some laugh out loud antics involving the local theaters musical theater, which her dad decides to direct. In this book we learn a little more about Zeldas powers and we get to see her grow as a person. The side characters are as funny as always, and I can't wait to see how things continue to unfold.

Still my cup of tea... but the element of humor was borderline funny and lame. Perhaps the book is too short for my liking. Still love her idea but some part of the theme was rather repetitive with other series. Still love her writing as usual and as always I really loved her characters. But the disgustingness of some humor was really a thing to considered before reading the book.
Overall a unfortunately-sadly-never-before-i-give-her-book-this-low 3.5 Stars read for me.

OMG!!!! This has got to be the funniest freaking book I have ever read! I mean laugh out loud embarrassingly so! If you have never read this series, seriously, drop what you are doing and buy them now! It is better if you read them in order, and this one is the best so far! Zelda is absolutely crazy, but in a sane way, and totally foul-mouthed, and Mac, her "mate" is just out of this world sexy. This series has a whole cast of characters that are just adorable and Zelda seems to collect them as well. I can not wait to read the next one in this series!!!!!
April 30, 2016
This is the 3rd in a series, but it has been a while since I read the other two. That being said, I think that this book could easily be a stand alone-the other books are a lead up.
I loved this book. It made me laugh, think about life, truths are learned, love live on and life is always unexpected. Probably especially if you are a witch-but still...
I especially appreciate the quote " Everyone is crazy. We all just wear it differently. Some you can see and some is disguised!
Another winner...lets hope that we don't have to wait long for the next installment.

When I need to transport myself to an alternate, outrageous place so I can laugh and enjoy myself; my go to author Robyn Peterman comes through. A WITCH IN TIME is crazy, ridiculously hilarious. Zelda is one awesome witch that surely deserves some Prada and Gucci items in her life. And should I mention, she can make things happen. Granted it's done in her own way. Don't miss out on this spectacularly humorous book.
April 1, 2016
This is my favorite so far. I was honored to be asked by the author to beta read this one. It is even better than the other two and I loved them immensely but this one took it to another level. I laughed, I cheered them on and then I cried not a bad cry but it did get me. If you have been reading this series you will adore this one. If not you need to go get the first one now and enjoy a great book.

Another great story
Life is not not boring, terrifying, but not boring. Zelda is back with questions of how people can love her, when she doesn't feel like she is capable of loving others. She is seeing Roger to help her with this issue, trying to help her dad be liked by the town folk, dealing with Sassy, surviving another attempt on her life and dealing with her mate, Max. And she wonders why she feels crazy.
