Loved it! Excellently written!This was the first witch book I have ever read written by a man. I did not know what to expect. This book was a very pleasant surprise. I am not the only one who thinks so - this book is getting great reviews on B&N;, Amazon and Goodreads. It kinda of reminded me a little of "Practical Magic", and "Discovery of Witches" (2 of my favorite witch books!), it had that flavor to it.There was only one part that I did not like (and I will not give it away) otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars from me. The rest of the story I loved. This is your basic "Good vs. Bad" just like in "The Stand" you have Guardian Angels and even Lucifer himself but with the new added twist of some witches thrown in the mix.There is great character development - I absolutely loved Angela! I didn't know if I liked Reggie at first but he did grow on me. I also liked all the other witches (they totally reminded me of the witches in "Practical Magic") as well as the "Templars". Oh! and I learned what a Templar was -"a member of a religious military order founded by Crusaders in Jerusalem about 1118, and suppressed in 1312." and "The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon , commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple or simply as Templars, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages."Needless to say they were the good guys! It was a very interesting mix of characters.There are lots of little surprises in this book that will make you smile and giggle. And towards the end I had tears in my eyes - twice! Any book that makes me cry is a good book in my book, LOL.This story had a GREAT ending! It was very well thought out and creative.Surprisingly and happily this is a very clean book - no swearing or sex! Thanks for that - Bruce!I have one question for Bruce - Will there be more  Cabbottown Witch books? I do hope so!
