Book Description:
Tessa Von Hellengaard is a
real witch. Magical spells aside, she’s snarky and selfish, and the
other witches in her silent spell coven are fed up with her. Their
plan to reform Tessa involves taking away her magic, saddling her
with one hundred extra pounds, and sending her to a weight loss spa.
For good measure they call
in Liam Kennedy, a charming and sexy fairy godfather, to teach her
some manners. Desperate to regain her magic and determined to shed
the weight, Tessa soon realizes that protecting her heart from Liam
will prove to be her greatest challenge.
My Thoughts:
Perfect title...Check! Perfect Characters...Check! Perfect plot...Check!!
I LOVED IT!
Tessa has attitude and is a bit spoiled, you have to love her. Liam is strong, charming, and I'd love him for a fairy Godfather...
Anyday!
When Tessa has to learn life lessons before she can gain her seat at the United Paranormal Council, she is really taken to the edge of her limits, and patience. Especially when she is thrown into a retreat to lose a hundred extra pounds that she never had before. Will she be able to shed the weight or be stuck with the extra baggage for the rest of her life....without her magic or the council seat?
Mickelson did a beautiful job drawing the reader in, keeping you engaged and turning the pages to the end. This book was right up my alley, starting off with a great action scene and keeping up a pace to be able to read in one sitting.
It was a short read but not missing detail that had you wondering or wanting more information, and it ended with great finesse for such a short read. I would highly recommend this read to any paranormal lover, you're going to love it.
I give Witch Weigh...
Excerpt:
“Hey,
lady, anyone ever tell you you’re a real witch?”
“More
times than you can imagine.” Contessa Von Hellengaard, Tessa to her
few friends and many enemies alike, eyed the obstinate construction
worker who blocked the path of her sleek black Mercedes.
She
wondered how this mere mortal would like being turned into a fluffy
skunk. Her fingers itched to work their magic, but she kept them
gripped on the steering wheel. She was already in enough trouble with
the Upper Hallows Witch Council without casting what they would
consider another unnecessary spell. If she was detained any longer
she’d be late for her meeting with said council. Tessa knew they
were already ticked off enough without her adding another infraction
to their precious list.
She
leaned out the window. “Remove your overfed self from my way
immediately. I need to use this road and I don’t have time for your
ridiculous detour.”
“Guess
you should’ve used your broomstick then because there ain’t no
way I’m letting your car get through here.” He crossed his beefy
arms over his chest.
He
seemed altogether too amused with his juvenile humor for Tessa’s
liking. Broomstick indeed. She revved the motor to let him know she
meant business.
He
couldn’t say he hadn’t been warned.
She
pushed up her black lace sleeves and pointed to the orange and white
barricade. “Last warning. Remove yourself and that thing from my
way.”
He
laughed at her. Laughed. At her.
She
narrowed her eyes. This sorry excuse for a government employee was
not going to make her late for her meeting. Removing him from her
path, she decided, was a very necessary act indeed. She could make
the council members understand. But only if she got there on time.
With
the tip of her red lacquered fingernail she traced a circle in her
palm, silently reciting the spell that would get her what she wanted.
A small, satisfied smile tugged at her lips as the man in front of
her began to levitate. She stroked her index finger sideways to help
direct his ascension. His shocked expression and angry torrent of
curse words bothered her not at all. He continued to fuss and kick
even after he was hooked on to the high crane by the back of his
overalls. At over forty feet above the ground she could barely make
out his foul words.
Tessa
flicked her finger across her palm with one last quick swipe and
waited while the barricade went flying to the side of the road and
crashed on a pile of rocks.
She
waved farewell to the construction worker as she slipped her Mercedes
into drive. The fool would be wise to quit struggling or he’d soon
have a painful wedgie.
Silly
mortal. He had no reason to panic. Someone would be along to get him
down. Eventually.
