Magic Uncorked

Magic Uncorked by Annabel Chase
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book felt so real, even with the witchy elements. The story is built on characters who were unique and believable, not flawless or perfect.

Libbie has a pretty OK life at the start of this book. She’s got two great kids, a standing cocktail club gathering every Friday, a job, a boyfriend, and a very supportive ex-husband. She might not speak up as much as she should, but she gets by. After the organizer of the cocktail club ends up passing away suddenly, the girls all need to accept the fact that they have inherited witch powers. Libbie is the first to “receive” them, I’m the form of some magical cocktail recipes. The first one ends up giving her the confidence to stand up for herself and shaking her life up.

On Libbie’s journey, we get to watch her grow into a confident woman, not afraid to go after what she wants and have greater control over her life. While I am usually only reading smutty paranormal romance books, this one was noticeably absent of smut. I have to admit, though, that I didn’t miss it, especially because Libbie has an opportunity to go down that path and decides instead to focus on herself. I see that there are several more books in this series, so I will add the next one to my to-read pile right now!
