An Unlikely Witch by Debora Geary
3.0
This is another very reluctant 3-star rating.
I was very sad earlier this year when I discovered that Geary had chosen to quit writing her witch central books. This book (fortunately for me, but sad for her) has made me much less sad. I have no idea if this was written during the personal upheaval that caused her decision to stop these, but I hope, for her sake as an author, that this is what happened.
First, I figured out how this book was going to end very early on. No, not the exact specifics of the who and how, but the general outcome. Second, this book seemed to ramble all over the place. Geary's constant need to add more and more characters each book has made these really hard to follow, especially if you don't read them back-to-back. Third, as others have said, they are getting both more maudlin and more cheesy.
Yes, I will read the final one. No, I will not waste my Kindle loans on the novellas from the series. (And that is saying a lot given the overall low quality of the books available for loan on Kindle.) And chances are I will not be trying anything from her new series under her new pen name. So sad to see this series go out like this.
