Warning: *NOT* A STAND-ALONE READ

5. April 2014 - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Verifizierter Kauf

CHARMED: A SUGAR MAPLE SHORT STORY by Barbara Bretton is a paranormal (romance?), evidently (from liberal backstory) a continuation of previous book(s). Having not read the other books in this series, specifically one(s) that preceded it, I was quite lost as to the unique world the author had created wherein this short story takes place. The back story fills in a lot of holes (but not enough to stand alone), i.e., the point-of-view character, Chloe, is half-sorceress, half-human in a town in Vermont where EVERYONE is magick. Chloe is married to the "love of her life, Luke," who is 100% human. They're pregnant, and this is somehow (but I couldn't see how) a HUGE development. And when this secret is revealed, everything falls apart. The secret is revealed by a heretofore unknown magick person who was simply in town to attend one of Chloe's knitting conventions.

This short story runs 26 pages (minus front- and back-matter). It was well-written. Seemed charming and interesting. I might have to go find the previous books in Bretton's series so I can understand more of the story setting.

Why?

I’m not sure what this short story had to add to the series. The inference that the flesh and blood heroine of the story immediately falls in love with a ghost and will have a relationship seems far fetched even for a fantasy. I’ve been going through the series and I’ve found some inconsistencies in the characters and lack of explanations/resolution of plot lines. It seems as though the author doesn’t remember the abilities of the characters she created.

Very disappointed.....

To be fair, I wasn't aware that this was a romance book involving the paranormal. If I had, I wouldn't have ordered it. I have bought and read a lot of Barbara Bretton books in the past and have always loved them. So naturally I automatically grabbed this one, too. When I first started to read this, I thought; what the heck? I went back and started over thinking that I must have been mistaken, but no....it was what I first thought it was. :(

But I went on to read it anyway, even though I'm not one to read this kind of book. The writing was good, but I felt so lost not knowing any of the back story, which I suppose came from all the books beforehand.

So with that; I want to give a warning to all of you who may not have read the other books in this series. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE BOOK!

I read all four print novels in this marvelous series and was so happy to find I had a short story on my Kindle just waiting for me.

Sugar Maple is a town hiding in plain sight. Why is it hidden? Well, because Sugar Maple is a magical town where the Sorceress, Witches, and Fae, among others, can exist peacefully. During the day it is a normal Vermont town, during the night, the magical come out safely.

Chloe Hobbs, a Socrceress and knitting shop owner, lives with her husband, the Police Chief, and only human, happily in town. She has a fabulous store and gives knitting classes. One student is a favorite, but she has a secret that will astound even this magical group.

This was a short story that made me speed through the pages. I love this series.

Really enjoyed and will read this series

I have trouble rating very short books so you can tell I really enjoyed this one.
I will agree with another reviewer that one portion of the story had a somewhat abrupt ending. I hope that means we will see that character return in future novels.
I liked the setting, the intrigue, the friendship between the characters.
I will be reading more of this series soon.
I downloaded this book, it was not gifted.
