As you might know if you tried visiting Witch Central (Nova Scotia branch) previously, you do need to read the series in order. I'd also recommend the offshoot trilogy, but I digress......There is a quiet, irresistible & magical rightness about this tale. It doesn't have the rapid pacing of the last couple books, but you are dealing with the Irish & the Scott's; both known for winding around the point of a story,before drawing all the threads of the tapestry together, into a tightly knit, well woven creation. For me, it was also delightful to see Marcus grudgingly grow into the leading man; yet the author skillfully never lets the reader forget he's a father, now, & a good one. Wee Morgan has taught her adoptive Da as much as he's been teaching her. In some ways, that's my favorite thing about this story. Then again, there's Cassidy, Rosie (her fiddle) & her magical music/musical magic. And having a leading lady who is in her mid 40's is, frankly, a courageous move for the author; one I applaud. Romance doesn't have to end once you've passed 35. I won't say anything else on this issue, or specifics of the story - I hate spoilers - except that Cass is a grand addition to Debora's magical world.
