Three Salem witches, a Fixer Upper and a Dune Road

… and no they don’t go into a bar!
A young adult series including “The Salem Witch Tryouts”, “Competition's a Witch” and “She's a Witch Girl” by Kelly McClymer was funny if a little to wordy!
A teenage girl with a witch mother and mortal father has to move to Salem for LA and adjust to the magic world. It is a cute story! Very fluffy, stress-free and at times funny. But because I have never been a cheerleader I didn’t get what all the fuss was about! Huh!


The Fixer Upper” by Mary Kay Andrews was great story. Dempsey a naïve lobbyist is fired and is blamed for her boss’s fraud. She moves to a small town in South to renovate an old mansion her father is inherited. If everything was that easy! FBI is pressuring Dempsey to help arrest her former boss, her old family house has an unwanted un-paying occupant, her hippy mom comes to town, town’s lawyers have a few proposition and uhhh… she has no money, no job, no perspective.
The characters are lively and the plot is simple but enchanting.

Dune Road” by Jane Green is like her other books. Some picturesque scenes and scenery, a simple plot and a happy ending! Her books are very relaxing to read, the tension is low and plot line is so out there and unrealistic that you can not get anxious over it! My only objection is: How many bad thing and bad people can come into a story in a given time? A bad sister, an abusive ex, a bad babysitter and loss of job and money, all in one book?! I think this book was a little cramped with villains!
