Interview with author and book review @ [...]I received a copy of this book courtesy Pan Macmillan, Momentum and netgalley.ReviewLove the cover of this book! It tells the readers that alcohol is included in this romance book. The title is clever. I didn't connect the title to "witches" until I started reading it.No more Salem the witchcraft trails here. This book is based in modern time when a family has special "abilities" to sense customer's mood and "brew" them drinks that make them feel better.In the beginning of the book, I felt like a lot of characters were being thrown at me. Once I learn all the characters, it was a fun read :)DescriptionCalypso Shakespeare knows what the future has in store for her, and not just because she's psychic.The "gifted" Shakespeare women have always had their one true love. Problem is, Calypso's came and went and didn't work out too well. She doesn't need a crystal ball to see that she'll never love again. Even her gift of mixing magical cocktails can't help heal her own bruised heart.Instead she concentrates on concocting potions that help other people find love. A dash of this, a pinch of that, a nip of liquor, muddle with flower petals and then part the veils and cast a spell. Calypso's supernatural services are in demand everywhere. It's the perfect life for a wanderer like Calypso.Calypso drifts between bars in Paris and Vienna, and her own tiny Cauldron in the basement of her parents' haunted London pub. She's regularly on the road or at her Cornwall cottage harvesting herbs and checking her distillery. She's never in one place for long. Certainly not long enough to date. Calypso's future is clear: Cocktails and travel. And that's just fine.That is until Taran Dee shows up and Calypso finds she has real trouble brewingTrouble Brewing is the second book in the Shakespeare Sisters series. The first book is Forecast.
