I was hooked from the first page! Kimberly Frost does not disappoint in this tale of Tamara Trask, a witch from Texas, whose magic is mostly dysfunctional. A dire situation compels her to try a few spells which leads to all sorts of mayhem. A very enjoyable read!

I was totally hooked from the get go! I loved this book and the next in the series, Barely Bewitched.

This is the first book in the Southern Witch Novel series and my first witch book. I loved it and finished it in 2 days. It is funny and very addictive. Sometimes I wanted to strangle Tammy Jo other times I wanted to hug her. I am so excited to find out what happens to her next, the book definitely left me wanting more.

Tammy Jo Trask comes from a long line of witches in the small town of Duvall, Texas. She however does not seem to have inherited the family magic, the only thing supernatural she has, is her long dead aunt Edie who visits every once in while, mostly at the wrong time. After attending a party and having her locket, which also holds Edie's soul, stolen by a couple of thieves, she decides it is time to take some action and get in touch with her witch side. Since her family is not available to help, the only other magic person she can turn too is Bryn Lyons, the sexy master wizard. Being a Trask however she was given a list of names no to associate with and Lyons is definitely on that list. With werewolves invading, vampires cross-dressing and a jealous ex-husband she still has feeling for, what's a good would-be witch to do…go to the sexy wizard or stay way from him and the feelings he brings out in her…hmmmm?

This is the first in Kimberly Frost's debut paranormal series, the Southern Witch novels, which are set in Texas and follow Tammy Jo Trask, a would-be witch who comes from a long line of witches but sadly appears to have no power herself.

Tammy Jo is having a bad week. One bad event after another just seems to pile up on her: She finally stands up to her arch-nemesis from high school and gets fired from her job as a pastry chef; On her way home she runs into the back of the mayor's wife's car and her police officer, ex-husband- and on- again off- again boyfriend -has arrives on the scene; She loses her locket - a family heirloom that actually holds the soul of her dead aunt; Her house gets broken into; Her neighbour drugs her; and, she keeps running into- and needing help from- sexy Bryn Lyons, the man that's right smack dab in the middle of her "List of Nine" men she can't associate with or it'll mean the destruction of her family. And this is not even including a whole host of other issues, the least of which is a pack of rabid werewolves is after her.

This was a fun novel filled with some crazy hijinks and a few good laughs. Tammy Jo is still mostly in love with her ex-husband, and they've continued their relationship even though they're divorced. He's a Texas good 'ol boy who thinks Tammy's place is barefoot in the kitchen fetching beer for him while he watches football. She might still be involved with her ex-husband, but that doesn't mean she isn't attracted to the off-limits Bryn Lyons. Bryn is sexy as hell, rich and just happens to be a master wizard on top of it. Tammy Jo needs his help to find her locket before her aunt's soul ends up disappearing. Bryn flirts with her, but it turns out what little magic she does have increases his own by quite a bit. Tammy Jo isn't sure Bryn really wants her and not just her magic.

This story is very reminiscent Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. It's cute and light, without a lot of substance. If you don't take it too seriously I think you'll enjoy it.
