Sugar, Spice, and Magical Midlife by Tara West

4 Stars

Fun Story.

This book is a fun read with a wide assortment of characters.  Our main female character is Luciella – Luci- a Witch who has hidden her talents and has divorced her husband of 20 years.  She’s hoping to have a more fun-filled life.  Ethyl, Luci’s cousin, is a Pixie and a Witch, works with her in Luci’s bakery.  Des is Luci’s 12-year-old autistic son who sounds much older and wiser.  And finally, our main male character is Ricardo -Ric – who is tall, well-muscled, handsome, and tattooed.  And something more….

With this cast of characters, plus others who are both good and bad and every king of supernatural, Tara West has written an engaging book that is humorous and real.  The story is fast paced but a bit sketchy at times.  But if you suspend your mind from all the paranormal aspects and just enjoy Luci’s life, the reader can’t help but want to encourage Tara West to further expand this series. 

I was given an ARC of this book from BookSirens and this is my honest opinion.
