Super book
Magic Princess is a thoroughly thought-out paranormal story filled with wit and snarky humor.
This is a great introduction to Whimsical Cove as we meet Adelaide and Leighton, a rookie witch and her hybrid protector. As Adelaide is eased into her new life, she makes wonderful friends: Delaina, a fairy; Piper and Skip, vamps; Scott, another witch; and a few extras along the way.
There were many highs and lows circulating with a fast pace that was a bit confusing in the beginning, but as more information was divulged, the story became clear — Adelaide was wanted by an evil force who would stop at nothing to have her. Many intense details came together to bring us to this pivotal point, but unfortunately, the climax fell flat for me.
Regardless of the anticlimactic battle, Maureen Shigeno delivered a solid launch to the Whimsical Cove series. I look forward to book 2.

I absolutely loved this book! It is the first that I’ve read by Maureen, and I was blown away. The journey of self discovery and love that Addie has to travel throughout the book is an exhausting one. She’s gone so long not knowing who or what she is. With the help of Leighton, she discovers a strength she didn’t know she had. Expect several surprises and plot twists while reading this! Based on the ending, there has to be another book coming, and I’m excited to see what Maureen has in store for us!
This is the first book by Maureen Shigeno I have ever read and I am a fan. This book was so entertaining to read and a page turner. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It has a lot of action packed twists and turns and some steamy romance mixed in. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
