I'm so glad I stumbled across this book on social media! I instantly fell in love with the cute cover art and title, and the content of the book was just as much fun. Heroine Dylan Apel is a boutique owner/clothing designer in a small Alabama town. She has a special gift with needle and thread that makes her customers feel transformed when they put on her clothes. What she doesn't know is that her gift is a magical one (ditto for her sister who creates bliss-inducing desserts at the bakery next door). Dylan only learns the truth when her most obnoxious client is incinerated by a dress that Dylan had planned to wear herself. Seems a malevolent witch wants Dylan's powers and will stop at nothing to get them. So, Dylan has to learn how to harness her magic, figure out the intricacies of witchy politics, and stay safe until the Summer Solstice. Fortunately, she has her sisters, her kooky, just-revived-from-a-catatonic-state grandmother, the South's Queen Witch, and a sexy bodyguard to help her solve the mystery of who wants to hurt her.
This book has it all - magic, mystery, family secrets, humor, and romance, and it was a fast-paced, entertaining read from beginning to end! I appreciated that there were several twists and turns in the plot that I did not see coming. (I spent most of the book being sure I know who the evil, power-stealing witch was only to end up being dead wrong!) I've read quite a few books involving characters with supernatural powers, plus I've watched many TV shows in that genre (including all 8 seasons of Charmed which was about a trio of witchy sisters), so I didn't expect this book to feel as clever and fresh as it did. Kudos to Ms. Boyles for reinventing the wheel and doing some really imaginative world-building in this book. I particularly liked the idea of there being Witch Police and how strict (and scary!) they were.
As much as I enjoyed all of the female characters in the book, I ended up being most fascinated by Roman Bane, the enigmatic bodyguard Dylan finds herself crushing on despite knowing what a bad idea it is. Roman had such a complex and tragic backstory, plus let's be honest, he's HOT. (I kept imagining Alexander Skarsgard as the character since he was described as being tall, with longish blond hair.) I can't wait to see where the Dylan/Roman relationship goes in future books, especially since things left off in a very interesting place for them. Also, I want to find out what happens with Dylan's other sisters. (Middle sister Sera has powers and an unhappy love life while Reid, the youngest Apel sibling, seems to have missed out on inheriting any witchly gifts and she's got a thing for their hunky next-door neighbor.)
I will be counting down the days until Book 2 of this series is released!
A cozy mystery set in a small Southern town. It's the story of three enterprising women who are unaware that they have magical powers. This first book in the series features Dylan Apel the oldest of the siblings. A murder is committed in her shop and Dylan unwittingly finds herself the prime suspect.
The novel itself is written in a light, breezy engaging vein. There is also a touch of romance. I enjoyed the dialogue between the sisters Dylan, Sera and Reid. Milly an older witch who mentors the women was the standout character to my mind, Milly was fiesty, snarky and had some attitude.
'Scared Witchless' was absolutely awesome. The storyline pulled me in from the start. The way it played out had me laughing and shaking my head as Dylan, Sera and Reid went about their day to day lives. Learning that only two of the three are witches were simply hilarious. Poor Reid. I loved the humor throughout. The southern slang and charm were spot on. I can't wait to read more of the 'Bless Your Witch Series'. Roman, the assassin, was fun. I look forward to seeing how his presence plays out. A great add to your tbr list.
This is a cute read. Dylan’s an in demand dress designer in her hometown. Everyone loves her dresses. Then, she finds out she’s a witch and someone is out to kill her. When the Queen Witch shows up to make sure Dylan learns everything she needs to, Dylan realizes that she doesn’t have much time to learn what she needs to learn in order to protect herself. Someone has just killed her favorite client and used the dress Dylan designed for herself to do it. Add in a super-hot bodyguard and a crazy grandma and you have one heck of a story. I enjoyed reading this and am going to get the next one in the series. If you’re a fan of paranormal, witches, and cozy mysteries, I definitely recommend you check out this book!
Cutesy southern paranormal mystery revolving around three sisters: the dressmaker, the culinary artist, and the archetypical clueless teenager. This is one instance where I wish that I had not bought it as audio.
This was an exceptional book. Although you think it is just a light reading topic you soon become engrossed in the storyline and forget there is no such thing as witches and magic begins to seem possible. These girls are such believable characters as they struggle to learn how to protect themselves from other witches. I could not put the book down. It is a good story that makes an unbelievable subject seem so very real .
This was a real fun book. When Dylan finds out she's really a witch, she's shocked and disbelieving. It's fun to see Dylan and her sister Sera learn how to be witches. Throw in some wacky relatives and a little romance, and I'm hooked. I've already purchased the next three books in the series, hoping in the next book baby sister Reid will find she has powers too
