Burgundy Hart #2
The Unlocked Legacy
Unregistered warlock? Check. Date with the Witches Council? Check. Inevitable explosions? Check. Hey, it’s not like Burgundy Jane Hart asked for this, no matter how dull life as Rock Grove’s librarian is. But ever since her father showed up and told her the truth – that she’s actually a warlock – she’s had plenty of time to think about her life choices.Between movie nights and town meetings, not to mention an unexpected promotion, Burgundy thinks she might get the hang of this warlock thing, after all. Oh, and get the girl. (Which one? Turns out, that’s trickier than she expected.)Except the Witches Council has other ideas and things take a dark turn even Burgundy couldn’t have foreseen. It’s live free or die when Rock Grove is placed under martial law, and only one person has the sass (or stupidity) to stand against the Finders. Decision’s made. It’s time for Burgundy to embrace her heritage as a warlock or risk losing everything she holds dear.

3.75. This is the sequel to The Cupid Conundrum. I read both back to back. I’m happy to say I thought this was a little better than the first book. Still not perfect but I’m getting into this series. If you are interested in trying this series I highly recommend starting at The Cupid Conundrum first. This is not a series that you can really skip books since they are too connected.
There was a pretty big twist in the first book that comes into play in this book. It is what made this book a lot of fun. The main character Burgundy is also getting a backbone and standing up for herself. I’m now really excited about book three.
Again like the first, this book didn’t have much romance. It is very light. There is a fade to black sex scene, but my main disappointment was not letting the two characters connect more. This book needed a few more chapters just for them.
This series is growing on me. It has some bumps but it hooks you into its world. The third book is suppose to be out this winter and I'm happy to hear it. This is currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

I enjoyed this book much more than the first.The stakes were higher and I appreciated Burgundy’s character a lot more. (Though she did frustrate me a few times. This isn’t to say I didn’t understand why she wanted to dig her heels in, I just wish she’d been less… naive about it.) I wish she and Charlotte had gotten more time together. I was also underwhelmed by a particular Jenna scene. But in spite of those complaints, I did feel like the writing was far stronger in this book and am interested to see what happens next in Burgundy’s life. (I really like the concept of the warlocks.)

Great 2nd installment
The story of Burgundy just keeps getting better! Enter a few more long lost family members and it is bound to get interesting. While Burgundy took a big step coming into her own in this book, I can’t wait for the next to she how she grows into herself and her potential while working to protect those she loves.

This honestly had the potential to be something amazing.... and instead its still half baked. I thought maybe book #1 was just a slow warm up and that things would get better with book 2 and they did.... but just no where near enough. Like the first book, this one needs an actual editor to go over it, there's several instances where words are missing entirely or the wrong tense is used. This book also goes really slowly and Burgundy once again doesn't figure out anything for herself and has to be told by other secondary characters what the hell is going on. Its pretty bad when your MC is nearly a Mary Sue.
Now IF the story was using supernatural as a metaphor for queerness and/or race, this would be better. The Villains and the nonWhiteNorm being the power of authority and eliminating the otherness would totally make sense. But the Villain in this, is Mediocre at best. There's no reason for the whole town to accept the Witch Authority, its not a governing body or part of the government.... its basically a cult (Christianity?) trying to superimpose its authority over others. Because really the whole town of supers could just band together and stomp the witches.
The potential for this to actually make a statement is there.... its just buried under the mediocre writing and narrative style. This could really be something... but instead it just feels uncompleted.... or like it was written but a kid who doesn't grasp that characters need to be breathing and fully fleshed out, or that it was a high school writing idea that was printed exactly as it was originally written.
