Beguiled

Betwixt & Between Series, Book 3

De: Darynda Jones

Narrado por: Traci Odom

Newly indoctrinated witch, and a charmling to boot, Defiance Dayne discovers there's more to life after 40 than she'd ever imagined possible. Especially since one neighbor is trying to seduce her, another neighbor is trying to steal her house out from under her, and a third neighbor is trying to get her kicked off the planet. Oh for three, but things start to look up when a new witch moves to town, one who says she's been sent to thwart an attempt on the charmling's life.

Dephne decides she has three things to do before she can die. Find out who killed her beloved grandmother, teach her BFF, Annette, the finer points of spellcasting before she blows up the world, and figure out how serious her relationship with the Adonis living in her basement really is. If it's heading in the direction she's hoping for, she can die happy. Though, admittedly, she'd rather not.

None of that will matter, however, if she can't figure out how to foil the supernatural assassin who's been sent to kill her. Until then, it's business - and hopefully romance - as usual. Now if she can only figure out how to tame a lacuna wolf.

When is the next book coming out?

I am liking this series. This book lagged and lolly gagged a bit at the start as if the author was having trouble getting around to the point. It gained momentum further into the book. I really want to know what's next. Traci Odom is the perfect narrator for the banter that goes on between the main characters. i don't know how she can nuance so many voices, but she does it really well. It's not perfect, but it is intriguing.

not like Charley Davidson?

the reviews says its not like Charley Davidson. I disagree. Maybe not quite the same but Defiance and Annette have similar snarky personalities as Charley and Cookie. I really like the series

Another Great Series

Each book adds a new character that builds a rather complex story that makes it hard to wait for the nest book

So thrilled to find a new series by Darynda!

Just as much fun as Charley Davidson series - and while Roane isn’t quite Reyes Farrow, he is up there! Was thrilled to discover a new series.

Good book, waiting for the next in this series

I have enjoyed all three books in this series. The ending in the first two was disappointing... like she just stopped. The ending to the third book was much better. Reflecting on these endings makes me wonder if there is even going to be another book in the series. Overall was a wonderful read... a little too saucy at times, but thankfully she only went "there" a few times in the series so I was able to get through those spots. Great fantastical story, all in all.
