What good is a witch with no magic?I’m Lexi Balefire and I wear a lot of hats, but none of them are tall and pointy. I spend half my time making love matches that last forever, and the other half trying to keep my faerie godmothers from turning each other into toads. Or worse.I come from a long line of witches, some of them wicked, but none of that will matter if my magic doesn’t awaken before … will matter if my magic doesn’t awaken before midnight on my next birthday. If I miss that deadline, I’ll never be a true witch.
If my mother and grandmotherhadn’t used their magic to kill each other, one of them might have been able to give me the keys to the mystery and I’d be one step closer to claiming my Fate Weaver heritage.
Now, I guess I’ll have to figure it out on my own.

This is a fun story. Lexi owns a matchmaking business but is single herself..its not that shes ugly, but living with 4 faerie godmothers doesnt help…especially when they are sisters and real faeries !! Each sister has their own magic elements. Lexi was handed down a family gift and is the witches ” keeper of the ritual flame” in her fireplace. She must tend to by feeding it magic because if the fire went out..oh boy bad things would happen. Only problem is that she has no magic…sure she has dabbeld with a few spells that turned out with disasterous results. With most witches, they get their powers at age 14, but not Lexi lol. Her 25 th birthday is getting closer and its her last chance to “find” her powers or she looses the honor of keeping the flame! I really like her character because she doesnt give up. She tries extra hard at everything she does. She has a cat named Satan, a business partner named Flix and a sexy new neighbor named Kin. Even though the characters dont always get along, this storyline really works. This is the first book in a series and I really cant wait to see what happens next..lots of secrets come out towards the end of the book and possibly a new love for Lexi…maybe????
Wow! If you love magical mayhem and chaos, with witches and fairy Godmothers, you’ll love this book! Move over Cinderella, she has four Godmothers! Poor little orphan, Not! Her Godmothers ride in to the rescue, even when they battle it out, there is never a dull moment in her life! However if her magic doesn’t come in by her birthday she stands to lose everything! Will she find love? Will she keep her magical Godmothers, or will they cease to exist? Can they really forget her? How will it all play out?
I love this series! I just went through and re-read the whole thing because the new one just released and had forgotten how awesome these characters are. The story has plenty of wit and magic, and the romantic elements are great, too. Read it – you’ll be glad you did!
Funny story. Things always work out for Lexi. Maybe a bit too well. A heightened or more clear and present danger would be better. Personally, I love suspense and this book doesn’t have much. Yet the story is entertaining.
cute
The proofreader doesn’t know the difference between break and brake.
Did not read all of it.
Fun read.
I think it would be better if characters were fleshed out more. I’d like to read more by this author.
No to put of it
Just not my type of story. Others may like it though. I’ve read much better witch stories. Nora Roberts writes what I believe is a better storyline.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Really liked this series.
A light fun read……
Good story line and a fun book to read.
Fun, light read
weird!
Even with a Fairy Godmother nothing is ever easy and Alexis Balefire is on the edge of a major meltdown. This book was funny and told a great story. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
While I did enjoy this book, I did not care for the writing style as it seemed too casual in wording. The content of the story was interesting and different something that I do appreciate in books
The author writes with an entertaining sense of hyperbole.
