This is the first book in a series, and I won the second book in the series on Goodreads, so of course I had to go to the library and pick up this book to read first. can't read them out of order!! So, the back of the book mentions a witch of a mother-in-law, who is a real life witch. Ok, but it took a long time into the story to get to that actual point, in fact it was almost the middle of the story before that was discovered, so I felt a little lost for awhile. Jane Boyle is our main character, and is living in Paris, working as an architect when she meets the perfect man, and after a whirlwind romance, Malcom proposes to her and of course she accepts. Her only requirement is that they stop back at her grandmother's out of the way farm to say goodbye. Here Jane finds that her grandmother has passed away, and left her a note tell Jane that she is a witch. Now Jane is confused, but thinks she is going to hide this all from Malcom, and go on with her new life. They arrive in New York to met the family, and Jane feels even more lost. Her mother-in-law seems to like her, but also seems to want to rule her life. Jane does manage to get a part-time job and a friend, which makes things a little better, except that her friend has secrets, and knows more about Jane's new family that she is telling at the moment. The first few chapters are a little hard to get through. I had to keep going back because the back cover mentions that Lynne, the mother-in-law is a witch, and she is, but the first of the book we find out that Jane is a witch and she is just discovering that and trying to learn about her powers, and so I felt a little confused. Finally, a huge confrontation between her and fiance Malcom near the middle of the book explains it all and makes sense of everything. Of course another confrontation with Malcom at the end of the book, leads into the second book. Although it started slowly for me, and I had trouble following along, I think because I got too caught up in the teaser on the back of the book, should have just ignored it altogether, I liked the book, and am currently reading the second. It is a different format, not a cozy-mystery, which I have been reading alot of lately, but a fun and social book. I enjoyed it.
