Witch Ever Way you look at it. By Jennie Orbell
Do you have the perfect life? Annie does. The perfect friend. The perfect business.
And the perfect grandmother. She doesn’t need anything else, and certainly not Mace Anderson, the too-clever-for-his-own-good new neighbour who has moved into Honeysuckle Cottage.
Unfortunately, Annie’s grandmother isn’t of the same opinion and has decided to use her ‘craft’ to spell the enigmatic Mace to fall in love with her granddaughter.

A witch’s life should be perfect, right?
But Annie has no intentions of becoming a witch like her grandmother. She is young, attractive, headstrong and single, and sometimes her life has a habit of turning itself upside down at a moment’s notice and she could use a magic wand.
In the beginning, this story was deliciously funny and I anticipated a fun read. However, mysterious forces were soon at work, and a serious thread became apparent.
Her best friend Lizzie, a widow, is struggling to bring up her young son, trying desperately to forget how her husband died and continue living her life without him.
Annie has dark memories too, a nasty accident that she refuses to think about.
Then an attractive man moves into the cottage just across the street, triggering her grandmother to conjure up wedding bells. But maybe he likes Lizzie instead?
A brilliantly intricate, well-written story. So much going on and at times I laughed aloud. The serious bits were incredibly sad, but it works out well in the end, after a well thought out twist that I didn’t see coming.
I would definitely recommend this well written book, for it has something for everyone and I defy you to read it with a straight face!
