Book Blurb:

In the small town of Duvall, Texas, the only thing that causes more trouble than gossip is magic.

The family magic seems to have skipped Tammy Jo Trask. All she gets in the way of the supernatural are a few untimely visits from the long dead, smart-mouthed family ghost, Edie. But when her locket, an heirloom that happens to hold Edie’s soul, is stolen in the midst of a town-wide crime spree, it’s time for Tammy to find her inner witch.

After a few bad experiences with her magic, Tammy turns to the only one who can help: the very rich and highly magical Bryn Lyons. He might have all the answers, but the locket isn’t the only thing passed down in Tammy’s family. She also inherited a warning…to stay away from anyone named Lyons.

My Thoughts: 

I enjoyed this story overall even though I didn't always like how the characters behaved and wasn't always believable. It was good enough that I will try the next book in the series.

Tammy Jo Trask: is a 20-something yr old pastry chef who is related to a long line of witches. She's not always the best judge of character and maybe a little naive at times. 

Bryn Lyons: A rich good lookin "witch" that Tammy is supposed to stay away from but that just doesn't happen. 

Zach: A Sheriff Deputy and Tammy Jo's ex-husband, even though he acts as though they're still together. 

Edie & Locket:  Tammy Jo's relative -- family spirit who is attached to the family heirloom, a locket.
