Moonville #2
Rating: 3.5/5
Spice: 0/5
Plot: 4/5
Primary Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy Romance
Blurb: From the acclaimed author of Old Flames and New Fortunes comes a steamy enemies-to-lovers romantasy about a paranormal skeptic who is roped into a ghost hunting romp by the charming boy next door . . . who might just show her what real fantasies are made of. Paranormal skeptic Zelda Tempest is hoping for a much-needed creativity boost for a new paranormal mystery novel. But despite the alleged magic of her hometown, Moonville, Ohio, she’s as stuck as ever. With two witch sisters, not believing in magic is strange for a Tempest, but no one is more disappointed than Morgan Angelopoulos, the charming man next door. So, to cure her of her writer's block and her disbelief in magic, Morgan ropes her into a ghost-hunting romp, only for Zelda to discover something else bizarre, never-before-seen creatures that appear as ordinary pets to everyone else. Curious about what else might be lurking in Moonville's woods, Zelda and Morgan embark on a quest to uncover the true magic that lies in their midsts . . . and perhaps, just maybe, they will find that the magic they're searching for has been with them all along.
The Good:
* I found the romance with Morgan to be confusing, entertaining and maybe a little bit cute. Definitely funny.
* The camping trip in the woods that Zelda and Morgan take goes OFF.
* I liked the continuation of the story from book one, there really wasn’t a gap in the storyline.
The Meh:
* The plot was chaotic and difficult to follow at times
* The weird typewriter spelling thing with the jumbled up letters, I figured it out but it’s confusing
Bottom Line:
This is a confusing, magical, whimsical little story. It’s definitely original. Morgan brings a lot of humor to the storyline and Zelda brings confusion, writer’s block and a discovery of magic. It’s fast paced and entertaining but I felt like I didn’t understand what was happening at least 40% of the time. I am really excited to see what happens in the third book and I hope that it’s a little less chaotic and a lot less confusing.
