Witch Got Your Tongue
The
Plot:
Aren
McAllister is a beautiful but shy and withdrawn young woman who has battled a
stuttering problem her entire life. But then, seemingly by accident, she
discovers that she wields an incredible power: she is actually a witch and can
cast potent spells—but only by singing them.
This
discovery throws Aren into a dangerous power struggle between different
factions in the society of witches who live among humans, unknown by them. And
for the first time she encounters a romance that may change her life as much or
more than the powers she never knew she had.
A Peck of Pickled Warlocks
She
has been lied to her whole life. Her father is trapped in a hostile world, and
it’s her fault. Her former lover is a warlock who can’t be trusted. Her only
hope to put things right is a thousand-year-old talisman that once belonged to
a handsome warrior who was also the most powerful warlock in all the land.
Aren
McAllister, the tongue-tied witch, is back in A Peck of Pickled Warlocks. In this sequel to the critically
acclaimed Witch Got Your Tongue, Aren
searches for a way to rescue her father from the other-worldly realm of the
witches’ council. From the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast to the bright lights
of Las Vegas to the dangerous depths of an abandoned silver mine.

Review:
Again, I've reviewed two books in a series together because they simply need to be read that way. I
greatly enjoy humorous books, and these did not disappoint. All her life,
Aren has stuttered, and has felt inferior to her brother, the warlock her
parents always wanted. Little did she know why she stuttered, or why she never
really sang around the house, in the shower, or along with the radio when she
drove. Then her temp agency sends her to an “entertainment” agency on
Halloween, and she finds herself wearing a skimpy witch costume, singing a
telegram that sounds kind of like a curse. She’s even more shocked when the man
to whom she sang the curse shows up at the agency complaining it worked.
The
only problem I had with both books was stilted dialog, and Witch Got Your Tongue had a cliff-hanger ending. I suggest buying
both Witch… and A Peck of Pickled Warlocks together so you can go straight from one
to the other. And both books come with a warning: choking hazard. You will
laugh. A lot. Also set aside a good block of time. You won’t
be able to put them down.
