Pentacles and Pelting Plants<\/a><\/em> (2021) Amy Lane (Hedge Witches Lonely Hearts Club)<\/p>\n

\"Pentacles<\/a>Jordan’s coven screwed up.<\/p>\n

Badly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more personal than that,\u201d he said. \u201cThe magic itself was offended. We hadn\u2019t just told a polite lie on paper\u2014 we\u2019d told a polite lie to ourselves.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tow of their friends as lost in space and time, the problems in their neighborhood are getting worse, and they can’t seem to figure out how to make things better, so they ask them magic for assistance.<\/p>\n

What the get is a pissed-off wizard who was pulled through a portal halfway across the country.<\/p>\n

And what does Mack the wizard get in repayment?<\/p>\n

To sleep in a vengeful witches cottage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you kidding me?\u201d he asked from the doorway. <\/p>\n

True to form, the music was barely quiet enough to make it possible to fall asleep while listening to it, but loud enough to seep into the dreams of anyone in the cottage. \u201cCould be worse,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cI had a week of \u2018Wichita Lineman\u2019 last winter. Enjoy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I particularly liked about this book was the focus on what the magic could do. It was interesting to consider, and just as likely as those with magical power would be just as obnoxious as those with political and financial power. (ie Mack’s family)<\/p>\n
