Never Been Witched

Ms. Blair tackles some controversial subjects in this story and she does it with flair. From the angel, to the ghosts, to the religious fanatic, the supporting characters were big as life and necessary to this most delightful romance between a paranormal debunker (with a secret past) and a witch who sees the future, whether she wants to see it or not. Without giving anything away, I loved the little girl, the passion and compassion, the seduction and love scenes. Heck, I just loved the love. Family. That's what it's all about. That's what all Blair's witches have been about. Funny, poignant, sassy, sexy, and filled with surprises, like all the witches who came before it. NEVER BEEN WITCHED rocked!

A perfect ending for the perfect series, If you have never read Annette Blair before I highly recommend that you do, Start with The Kitchen Witch and just keep going, you will become as addicted as I have.

The first book I read from Annette Blair was "Sex and the Psychic Witch" and I was hooked. Ms. Blair writes enthusiastically, enthralling and quite humorously. From the first pages she keeps you engaged. I have read both the Triplet Witch Trilogy collection and the Accidental Witch Trilogy. For those who do not believe in Psychics or Visions and or witches - you will find it spell binding and for those who do believe - it becomes your reality. You can feel the need, the emotion and the hope in the quest to use your gift and help others. "Never Been Witched" was long awaited for me and I was not disappointed at all.

Destiny Cartwright is the middle witch. Her visions are of the future. Destiny clears her mind, picks up her paint brush, and a picture forms. It has been that way for as long as she can remember. However, when a certain architect, Morgan Jarvis, comes near, Destiny has trouble clearing her mind and focusing. The man unnerves her. Morgan does not want to be around Destiny either for the same reason. So as the friends and relatives go on a short trip to Scotland, Destiny and Morgan remain behind. Of course, neither knows the other stayed behind, but everyone else does and uses the fact to bring the two together. Destiny goes to the Paxton Lighthouse for some meditation time. While in her safe circle late one night, Destiny learns that the spirit of the last lighthouse keeper, Horace, is still present. There is also a young girl spirit, Meggie "Megs", who passed on just before entering her teen years. With Megs is Buffy, the name Megs gave to her silent and loving angel. Yes, a real angel. Megs is Morgan's twin sister and she has remained to help her brother remember certain things and accept other things. But to do this, Megs needs Destiny's help. Morgan never speaks of his past. When he finds Destiny down stairs in his lighthouse all he wants is for her to leave! Well, it is not his lighthouse yet. But the paperwork is all but finished. Problem is that they are both stuck on the little island until the boat returns later in the week. Morgan knows that Destiny and her sisters are physic and witches. After all, her sisters married his friends. So when Destiny starts speaking about the spirits and the angel he is not too surprised. Yet Morgan is downright shocked when Destiny starts talking about Megs. He never spoke of her or of the angel picture she drew long ago and named Buffy. To Morgan, his future is not looking too bright. On the plus side, Destiny is one hot witch. Things could be worse. (And with that jinx, it does.) ***** This is the third, and last, sister's story in the Triplet Witch Trilogy. If you missed the stories of Harmony and Storm you will not have any troubles. Each book is a stand-alone story. This time the author combines magic and love in such a way that even a statue would find its heart moved. There are many silent messages for readers to discover and I, as the reader, found myself amazed at how many times I compared events in the story to events in my own life's past. No, I am not psychic (or am I?), but I have no doubt that all readers will find themselves finishing this story with hearts warmed. The sisters and their new husbands are totally out of the story until near the end. Total concentration is on Destiny, Morgan, and the spirits. (For full effect, read this on Valentine's Day or an anniversary of some sort.) The character of Megs is especially well done. Anyone who has kids or siblings aged twelve or thirteen cannot help but believe so. She comes across as mature while still exhibiting a tantrum or two. A

The middle witch of triplets, Destiny Cartwright has visions of the future that she depicts by painting a picture of what she saw. However recently an anomaly has occurred; for the first time in her life, Destiny cannot focus on the vision. She realizes this abnormality only happens when architect Morgan Jarvis is nearby. He frightens her. Morgan shares Destiny's unease. When everyone goes off to Scotland, neither Destiny nor Morgan goes with their friends and family; neither is aware that the other stayed behind. Needing time to think about how she feels Destiny travels to the Paxton Lighthouse to reflect on what she wants. She meets two spirits there; the last lighthouse keeper Horace and tweener girl "Megs"; also there is Buffy the guardian angel watching over the girl. Megs has remained behind to help her twin Morgan but has failed until now. She hopes Destiny can assist her. Morgan arrives at the lighthouse he just bought and demands Destiny leave though she cannot until the boat returns to pick her up. When Destiny mentions the lighthouse is home to two spirits and an angel, he does not blink. When she mentions Megs, he is shocked and further disturbed with Buffy as he recalls the picture his sister drew of her angel. The final Triplet Witch romantic fantasy (see SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH AND GONE WITH THE WITCH) is a superb tale starring a likable lead couple in denial and a matchmaking ghostly sibling with her own angel. As with the previous two the story line is whimsical but heart-wrenching as in many ways Megs steals the show as a young teen spirit who is part mature and part kid. Magician Annette Blair provides a terrific finish to an entertaining saga. Harriet Klausner
