Three Fold Rules
5 stars
I love Paranormal Women's Fiction - stories about older characters finding magic sometimes love. It's a refreshing change of pace from the standard tropes where young people have all the fun. Second Chance Magic did not disappoint me.
Lorna Addams and her two friends discover the key to a hidden door and a book that has been lost for a generation. Opening the book opens a new chapter in each of their lives. This one happens to be about Lorna.
The characters are warm, funny, and engaging. We don't see much of the small town but the sketch is more than enough to establish the setting and set the mood for the story.
The plot? I loved it. Just enough predictability to make me feel like I knew what was happening, but just enough twistedness to keep it from being too cliché.
Highly Recommended.
