The Folklore of Forever

The Folklore of Forever by Sarah Hogle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book combines witches, skeptics, and small-town life into a series that I mistakenly started at book 2.

Zelda is the “weird” one in the family who does not believe in magic. She instead ran off to become a writer of a popular series but has since returned home to run a book store and do just about anything but write the promised next series. Her next door neighbor, Morgan, seems to be trying to lure her into some sort of relationship, but from a person who was definitely not into her growing up in a small town, this seems highly suspect.

This all comes out as part of his “plan” to get magical witch powers by pairing up with one of the town witches. I’ve got to admit, it took me a long time to get over his abrasive personality, but did find his banter entertaining. As a match for Zelda, who is exploring the possibility of having magic and embracing her forgotten childhood magics, he helps. Otherwise, I’d say she could do so much better. In a small town, though, I guess the choices are limited.
