What can I say about Alyssa Day that hasn’t already been said? This is one of those books that just make you feel good even as you go through the angst of the plot. The strong characters, the quirky personalities that are polar opposites, the non-stop chatter of a granny and of course the fated love romance. All that rolled up in the feel goods and humor. What more could you ask for? I loved it.
A wonder fun story of a family of witches and a P-Op Agent who is sent to deal with the supernatural. The characters and great and the story makes you laugh.
A super quick read that had me laughing out loud, cheering for Rose and Alejandro and wondering what would happen next.
What a fun read. I found myself smiling and laughing out loud. Will be reading more by Alyssa Day.
CUTE, SEXY, & DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING!!!

My Rating: Five Magically Delicious Stars*****
Wow! Color me impressed! This was my first time reading the work of Alyssa Day but it certainly won’t be my last! I loved Alejandro’s Sorceress! There’s nothing I enjoy more than a great book and Paranormal/Supernatural/Fantasy Romance has been one of my favorite subgenres for almost 60 years. I’m always on the lookout for a talented new author and Alyssa Day is most definitely gifted. Her charming, lighthearted prose is effortless, skilled, easy-to-follow, and quite captivating. I found myself immediately intrigued by the premise of a Paranormal Operations Division of the FBI and instantly smitten with the two protagonists, sassy garden witch Rose Cardinal and handsome FBI Paranormal Operatives Agent Alejandro Vasquez. The narrative was beautifully written in the third person with clearly discernible his and her perspectives. The dialogue was smart, snappy, well-executed, at times hilarious, and flowed effortlessly. I snickered, snorted, and cackled from the first page till the last, and by the end, I was happy, satisfied, and well entertained. Alejandro’s Sorceress may be relatively short, coming in at approximately 70 pages, but it packs quite a punch.
No spoilers from me, but I will say this… Handsome, dedicated P-Ops Agent determined to do his job, save his partner, and never fall in love again-check! Beautiful, independent, garden witch with a big attitude and very little use for government paranormal operatives-check! A wacky family of witches-check! An group of unwelcome magical garden pests-check! A visit from the Atlanteans-check! A surprising mysterious premonition-check! A dash of danger, a pinch of family drama, a barrel of laughs, and a whole lot of instant attraction, steamy passion, and heartwarming romance-You bet! That and a whole more!
Did I like this story? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! As soon as I finished this story, I raced back to Amazon and purchased the other two books available in this series. And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous Entertainment and an awesome read!
*Quite honestly, I’m not exactly sure how I got this book, possibly through a newsletter or contest of some kind. I was doing some reorganization for the new year and found it in my library. The cover caught my eye, so I decided to read the first few pages to test the waters and immediately thought, who is Alyssa Day, and why in the world haven’t I read this before now, then dove in. I loved it and now an official Alyssa Woods fan! This book was a wonderful way to end 2017 and ring in 2018! Thank you, Alyssa Woods, for a fabulously funny and delightfully entertaining book!
Loved it. I couldn’t stop reading. Loved the characters, and the humor.
Rose is a witch and her mother calls the P-Ops, that’s the paranormal division of the FBI, to take care of an infestation of creatures that turn things to stone. Alejandro and his partner Mac are sent to investigate. Alejandro feels an instant attraction to Rose. But when his partner is turned to stone by one of the creatures, Rose tries to get him out but her potions don’t work. After spending the night, Alejandro calls someone who can help and gets his friend un-stoned. He has fallen for Rose and tries his best to convince her to give them a chance.
First time reading this author and I cracked up. There’s witches, trolls, and all other paranormal beings. Magic and a granny who will tickle you pink. Short but good story. Plus sex.

Alejandro’s Sorceress clearly takes place in the world of the Warriors of Poseidon series, since it has some of the same Atlantans within the book. I have only read book one Atlantis Rising, but have the rest on my list to read. Alejandro’s Sorceress is not a hard book to get into even if you have not read the series yet. It clearly stands on its own. I was laughing, smiling, and have a blast reading this story!
The romance is fast paced, but cute. I prefer to spend more time with a couple, but the humor that Ms. Day added to this story drew me away from it being an insta-love. Rose, the garden witch was a great character. I enjoyed her strength, the crazy family she has, and that she takes no crap from an alpha male. Alejandro, a P-Cop was a fun character. He is alpha, cares about his friends, and wants to protect. I enjoyed seeing him get all alpha when his Atlantan friends show up. The epilogue was great. It had me smiling for the couple. I also liked the little peek we get into the Atlantis world.
Alejandro’s Sorceress is part of the Dark and Deadly box set. This was a fun, humors, and sweet romance. We have magic and fate. With a weird witch family and some hot Atlantans making an appearances. I had a smile on my face throughout this story!
