The family magic seems to have skipped over Tammy Jo Trask. All she gets are a few untimely visits from long-dead, smart-mouthed family ghost Edie. But when her locket-an heirloom that happens to hold Edie's soul-is stolen in the midst of a town-wide crime spree, it's time for Tammy to find her inner witch.
After a few experiences with her dysfunctional magic, Tammy turns to the only person in small-town Duval, Texas, who can help: the very rich and highly magical Bryn Lyons. He might have all the answers-and a 007 savoir faire to boot-but the locket isn't the only heirloom passed down in Tammy's family. She also inherited a warning: stay away from Lyons.
From the beginning I expected a very light story. It's funny and it's well written.
What was missing? Well, when reading from a first POV, you expect the character to be as smart as you, or smarter. Tammy Jo is just so bluh. I didn't like the main character, and I didn't like how every supernatural being was thrown into the mix so quickly.
I just can't take her serious, and the story is not very realitisc in terms of events. Shooting a shot gun is bound to call attention. If someone drugged you, you wouldn't just walk away and forget about it.
Her ex-husband treats her really nice and at the same time condenscending.
Reading Tammy Jo just wasn't as fun as the funny lines in it. It was very frustrating, and I found myself skipping pages and pages at a time.
I don't think I will read the other books in this series.
