Review: A Wicked Witchy Menage
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 30, 2011
First book in Wicked  series, followed byWicked Bad: Wicked, Book 2.Plot:Young female Magians (witches) are being killed. For some reason the only person who can help is "human" Callie. She has to go undercover, with two beaus, to smoke out the murderer. Only Tucker and Tyghe are not exactly uninterested in Callie, Callie isn't exactly un-magical and the Bad Guy is not someone anyone would have expected.Comments:- A short book (1488 kindle locations) but a complete story. Although it is the first in a series, the plot was completed, no hanging plot-threads as such.- The end of this book comes upon us very quickly. All this build up to find the murderer and *bam* it's over. Very disappointing. Yes, I like how it all came out, I like the HEA, I like who Callie becomes, but for all the long-winded clothes shopping and angst over placing Callie in such danger, the lack of action/danger/suspense is seriously disappointing- Sex is m/f (with possibility of being caught) and m/f/m. There are handcuffs and "rough" play (but no violence). The goal is a committed m/f/m relationship, and the males are brothers so no m/m. The sex is HOT and (mostly) loving. The three are forced together by fate/destiny so with that we get the "is this really who we want/what we want" angst. It makes the sex at times "unwanted", "I'm only here, I only lust for you, because we have no choice". A bit primal and feral. In the end, they come together with love as well as desire (how else do they get their HEA?) but it takes a few practice runs.- Callie should be an amazingly strong, interesting character. Instead she seems to have her fabulous traits ignored. Annoying.Opinion:So much possibility. What a shame it couldn't be seen through to the end. Loved the beginning. Loved the idea of loving Tucker and distant Tyghe being part of the Triune. Hated the reason Callie was left in an (apparently) abusive home, that Tyghe who treated her as a nothing her whole life was "forgiven", that presumably Moira knew all of this and did nothing, that this "human" was the only one to go undercover (if it had been Tucker's idea, as a cop, okay, but it wasn't), that Mitchell was pretty much ignored. Maybe there is more in the later books, but it does not appear so. If this is the sum and total of Callie's story I am very disappointed. After finishing this book I don't remember the wicked sex, the loving bonds, the exciting finale; I remember a character I wanted to know more about, who's story was half told. Definitely could have been better.
