Review by: Kristen H. on Jan. 21, 2012 :
This book was a pleasure to read! I would put this in the "literary candy" category meaning that this is the kind of book that you just want to cozy up with and spend the day devouring. The storyline is saucy, clever, creative, and very sensual and I mean that in the sense that the story is full of love, music, food, and amazing scenery. I wish I could spend a day in New York City with Evie Songbottom! She's the whisky drinking, good food and music loving fairy godmother narrator. I am waiting rather impatiently for the sequel!!!!

This review is from: The Fiddler's Talisman (Kindle Edition)
Really cute, fun story with endearing characters...I love the fairy godmother in a bar scenes, really funny and the voice of Evie, our fairy godmother narrator, makes the book just fly along. Great blend of magic and fantasy and absolutely grounded reality, along with history and classical music and everyday relationship woes. The love story is refreshingly innocent, too, and doesn't insist on the kind of cynicism common in a lot of similar fare. I also thought the book gave a nice take on New York itself, almost an "old fashioned" view of the city, like used to be portrayed more in movies a few decades ago, that I found faintly nostalgic. The setting and how it is experienced through the characters grounds the book even further, blending fantasy with reality in a convincing and almost seamless way.

Definitely promises to be a great series - I look forward to more!
