As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.

It was okay

Not the romance I thought it would be. It’s a book about the various forms of love. Don’t expect a lot of action, but the storyline is nice.

In this captivating dual narrative novel, a modern-day woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home’s previous owner, a quintessential 1950s housewife. As she discovers remarkable parallels between this woman’s life and her own, it causes her to question the foundation of her own relationship with her husband - and what it means to be a wife fighting for her place in a patriarchal society.

Great story!

Love the two different stories in different time periods. They coincided well and each came to a nice end.

When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one’s more surprised than she is. Julian’s relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she’s baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire—Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor—pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn’t had a boyfriend since college?

Bad Writing
Revisado: 10-19-15
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator was fine.
What could Beatriz Williams have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The author needs to learn to write better. Honestly. Way more description than is necessary and there's a lot of "he said" and then "I said" and "he said", etc. The story also starts in the past (the preface) without real indication of how she got there, and then each chapter switched from past to present. It just feels like the author couldn't decide what era she wanted the story set in, so she chose to incorporate both. I will admit that I have not finished the book, and I'm not entirely sure I want to. The only reason I started to read this is because it's the book that was selected for this month in my book club. I'm glad I used my credit instead of actually paying for this, but even then I'm not sure it was worth my precious credit. Essentially, it comes down to really bad writing and a boring plot. It's basically Fifty Shades of Grey without the kinky stuff. I really was disappointed in the lack of lead in with the romance. They went from instant attraction to the I'm-so-in-love-with-you-that-i-never-want-to-let-you-go moment. There was no build up to it, which takes all the fun out of reading a romance, in my opinion.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of January LaVoy?
I don't know. I didn't have an issue with the narrator so much as I did with the book.
