Monday, 5 P.M. – Greenwich Mean Time

Bournemouth, England

Spells: 2

Sexy rock stars: 1

Jealous boyfriends who are not returning my calls: 1

I’m so bad at this man thing. After spending most of my life single (for witches it’s practically an occupational hazard), I finally found someone to love. OK, so then he got killed, but he’s recuperating nicely. And I should be home, nursing him – maybe just a little bit naughtily – back to health.

But no. The prime minister asked if I could look after this rock star buddy of his, Zane. Creepy Goth guys in cloaks keep showing up at his concerts and zapping his mojo. Hmm, smells like teen warlock to me. Anyway, I owe the PM, and Zane is fun, too – I mean, what girl wouldn’t want to hang with the hottest man in music? How was I to know the press would be lying in wait when we stumbled out of his limo?

Look, everyone has vices. Right now, I’d like to indulge in one of mine and blow some people up so I can get back to my sweety in Texas. But if these caped dudes don’t show themselves before another paparazzi shot of Zane and me hits the tabloids, I may not have a boyfriend to go home to....

The storyline was quick-witted and fast paced. It kept me turning the page to find out what happened next. The characters were just that: real characters, funny, qwirky, and some down right sarcastic. The ending was sort of abrupt and unexpected. The book can hold it's own and is absorbing although I would have appreciated a better ending. All in all I'd probably read this again, if I run out of new books to read.
