Review: even better than the first
Rating: 4 out of 5

If anything I think that Bewitched, Blooded and Bewildered is even better thanBlood, Smoke and Mirrors. Cat really comes into her own in this one, no more Mrs. Nice Witch. She fully accepts herself as a bad witch and runs with it. She has the mouth of a sailor and a seriously rapier wit. I only wish I could be half as sharp in real life. I laughed out loud more than once, especially at some of the modern media references (fighting Louis, turning into Darth Vader, Bruce Wayne and Batman)...all very funny. The book also felt more focused than the last, leaving fewer questions at the end. I still feel sorry for poor Zach, but am looking forward to seeing what happens to Portia and Faust. Honestly, I probably would have the book it five stars if it hadn't ended so abruptly. I didn't see it coming at all. At 92% (on the Kindle) it suddenly ended. It was so unexpected that I was literally startled when the "more books by Robyn Bachar" screen came up instead of the start of the next chapter. This left me feeling like it was unfinished. Of course, in a sense it isn't since it is part of a series. But it feels very much like I just read the first 10 or so chapters of a larger book than an entire story. A challenge was overcome, as opposed to the challenge (if that makes any sense.) Either way I'll be reading the next one.
