REVIEW:
As a huge fan of Karen’s writing this series has been a real gem of an offering in the fantasy world. For a while I was left wondering what the hell she could do that would really challenge her principle magician within her writing that wouldn’t appear OTT or even forced. What she comes up with in this offering is definitely something that will entertain the reader and give them the magical ride of their life. Add to the mix great dialogue, a whole host of characters that you’d love to share a jar or two with and backed up with a reasonable paced story arc. A real treat against the usual hum drum magical offerings.
BOOK BLURB:

Old enemies and new combine forces to thwart him. Once again, innocent lives are on the line. He needs his friends. He can't do this alone. But Princess Melissande and Reg have troubles of their own. With the help of Monk Markham's brilliant, beautiful sister, they've opened a one-stop-shop witching locum agency, where magical problems are solved for a price. Problem is, the girls are struggling to keep the business afloat. Things are looking grim for Witches Incorporated - and that's before they accidentally cross paths with Gerald's saboteur. Suddenly everybody's lives are on the line and Gerald realises, too late, that there's a reason government agents aren't supposed to have friends ...
REVIEW:
As a fan of the original novel by Karen, I really couldn’t wait to get this novel, so when it landed I set myself up for a wonderful day of reading pleasure. What unfurled was a tale that not only explored the world that the characters inhabit a bit deeper but went on to expose the seedier side of things as this Fantasy Crime novel exposed the hidden truths behind the ruthlessness that people are prepared to go to in order to make a few dollars more. Add to the mix (and lets face it with cakes involved there is a mix,) a book that’s not afraid to laugh at itself and you’ve got a story that’s light hearted and an easy read with a fistful of twists that will keep you guessing. Its great fun and if I get my way I want Reg the owl to get a tale at some point about her life. She’s an absolute cracker and demonstrates that even supporting characters are as magical as the leads.
