I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I had so much fun with this installment. After that bombshell ending in Betwixt I was looking forward to listening to Bewitched and Jones did not disappoint. It is the second book in the Betwixt and Between series. To recap the series tells the story of a forty something divorcee who discovered she had magical powers.

 Picking up six months from the ending of book one, the story provide humour and magic. It had me in stitches from the get go. Defiance fears her newly discovered powers, which is understandable. Discovering powers, which had been repressed and has the potential to both do harm and good while placing her in danger must  have been scary. Her fears grew to the point that she lied to friends and family that she had lost her powers. The one person she could not fool was Roane. I loved how he called her out on her lie. However, magical events to include passageways magically appearing, vines serving as her guardian and hidden dungeons left her reconsidering her stance.   Then with the residents seeking her help and revelations about her past how could she not stay. 

I enjoyed the rapport shared between the characters, I especially the ones sheared between Defiance and her best friend Annette. Annette is such a riot. She brought her own brand of humour to the story.  In addition to the humour, were the sizzling moments Defiance shared with Roane, which often got interrupted by her dads. Those interruptions made me giggle.

As much she tried avoiding it, danger landed on her doorstep, placing her in the position to use her magic to protect those she loves. At this point she gradually becomes confident in the use of her powers and embracing her destiny. 

Narration

Once again Traci Odom narrated and she did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.  She voiced each of the characters distinctively so I always knows who is speaking. She made adjustments to the voices where needed.  An  incident involving Annette, required her to make changes to her tone and she made the adjustment perfectly to fit the situation. 

Conclusion/Recommendation

Overall, a great addition to the series. Looking forward to see what is next in store for Defiance and company.  I would recommend it to fans of paranormal cozy mystery, paranormal women's fiction and unban fantasy.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading

Amazing

Darynda Jones is an incredible writer. Her books seem to come to life as you read them and they are incredibly hard to put down. 

Book 2 was just as amazing as book 1. And now I’m anxious for book 3. 

Defiance’s loyalty to her friends and family is astounding. And her powers are unmatched. She never gives up, even when she desperately wants to.
