Book Blurb:
September, 2019, B.C. (Before Covid): Clementine, Cecilia and Colette La Luneau live together in their childhood home in the prosperous town of Westwick. Although each sister works a traditional day job, they supplement their incomes with witchcraft: candle magic and voodoo (Clementine), mediumship (Cecilia), and Tarot (Colette). The sisters love one another and their shared mystical interests, but each longs for a different kind of love, whether she admits it or not. As autumn turns to winter, Cupid helpfully points his arrow at each sister in turn. But what of the frightening omens that predict terror on the horizon? Do the sisters receive foreshadowing from the universe of a looming threat, or are the occurrences meaningless? Colleen McManus Hein’s latest paranormal romance illuminates life before Covid-19, when the La Luneau sisters still innocently cling to a belief in fairy tale endings. The book is written in "television style," with the plot unfolding in scene after vivid scene, just like your favorite binge-worthy streaming series. Tune in today!
My Review:
Clementine, Cecelia, and Colette are the three witches of Warwick. Each has a special mystical gift though only use their gift to help others, not to make money. When a large owl breaks their window, the sisters wonder if it is an omen or just happenstance. The sisters soon find themselves embroiled in three very different romantic relationships. As they navigate through falling in love and the obstacles which present themselves, one thing is clear: love is the greatest mystical gift of all. Can each sister focus on their own happiness or are they cursed from finding their own happily ever after?
La Luneau Sisters is such a fun paranormal romance and one I read in two sittings. The plot is not new (sister witches) but the story unfolds in such a way as to make the reader give props to the author for its originality. Instead of chapters, you get scenes. It’s like watching your favorite Netflix series, only in book form. The characters are well-developed, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the wackiness the sisters get themselves into. The old man next door added some terrific conflict. The love interests of the sisters are very different from each other, yet they complement the sisters wonderfully. The romances are slow-building with plenty of sexual tension. The ending surprised me and left it open for a second book or more. If you’re a fan of Charmed or love witchy romances, pick this up today. Trust me, you’ll love this feel-good romance.
