Summary: "For a hundred years no one talked about it…all the people, mainly women, who had mysteriously disappeared in this picture perfect town nestled in between lush rolling hills and a lake that stretched out like the sea itself. No one wanted to remember that at one time the ignorance of not knowing was what fueled the mob, and a mob it was, when provoked by bible thumpers and boredom."
Meet "Alexi", not your typical teenage girl, as she invites you into her world in the small town of "Ravenswood". Alexi has suffered a loss, but despite her hidden sadness, she manages to find a shining light in the darkness as she goes on an adventure of a lifetime. Alexi is soon to discover her witchy past and along with her best friend "Logan" and the mysterious new boy who moves to town, that of "Kyle Huntington" , things are set into motion and all of Ravenswood secrets are soon to be uncovered. "Stuff & Things and what boredom brings" is book one in "a witches tale" series by paranormal author Rue Volley (Blood & Light Vampire Series/ Razor Saga/Vampire Fetish series). It is sure to delight with its humour and unexpected twists and turns. This story embraces witchcraft and other paranormal what-not’s.
The Review
WOW just WOW, Miss Rue has taken us on yet another of her fantastic journeys into her head, I love it, I want to move in there Please, I don’t mind pitching a tent, if that’s what it takes, What can I say about A Witches Tale, The characters were just perfect, The star for me was Alexi, she was so funny at times, but then had moments of total anguish, Logan her sidekick in crime, well he was so funny, he came across as a bit gay to start with, but then you realise his utter devotion to Alexi, I adored her dad and so wish mine was like that, he was very open and down with the kids , loved A Witches Tale, can you tell? One of my favourite parts was the chat about Condoms, every girl’s worst nightmare’s the “sex” chat, Rue made me cringe along with Alexi when her dad started going through it with her, I loved everything about this book, I got a little confused about the 100 years part at the beginning but hey, I read on and it was so worth it, it soon became apparent what that was all about, I got stuck in and never looked back, I really was not expecting Kyle to be what he was, I was so shocked, I knew he would be different but was so not expecting that, especially after reading other books Rue has written, I was expecting a vampire, I was not disappointed though, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh, a great adventure, to shed a tear or two, or generally just wants a great book, look no further, I would happily let my daughter read this and she is 12, I really want book 2 NOW Pretty Please with fairy dust on top, you cannot leave it like that, does he or doesn’t he? Will we ever find out, I give this book 5/5

What do you get when you have: 1) Many generations of female witches with the same name 2) A cursed town 3) A trio of teenage friends 4) A Murder or two 5) A few different immortals 6) Wonderfil laugh out loud moments 7) And last but not least an ending that will have you turning pages looking for more?????? A fantastic book called: A Witches Story: Stuff and Things and What Boredom Brings!! I hungrily look forward to book 2. This was a r2r for me and I loved every morsel of it!

So I started this book this morning, and I couldn't put it down! I laughed out loud more times than I could count, and the ending left me wanting more! So yes, I did finish it in one day and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one! I seriously adore Rue Volley! ...more
