A new to me author. I’m now a fan can’t wait to see what this series has next: creative and engaging storyline and the characters where beautiful written and intriguing. I got lost for hours n this book I couldn’t put it down I didn’t want it to end. Now I’m looking forward to reading the next book
This book is about Belle, Miri’s younger sister. Her family isn’t welcome in the French Quarter as everyone there strongly lets her know. But she and a friend have some serious magic-related issues coming from black magic in the Quarter, and Belle is ready to protect them any way that she can. She is learning to use her magic and seems to get little help from her brother. But maybe joining a coven with Luna, a new friend, can help her? When Belle’s mother’s body is overtaken by black magic, Belle is ready to get rid of the Bokur and the black magic being used against her family. Can she and her coven friends take on the evil? Or is she heading for disaster?
This sounds like a ‘David and Goliath’ story to me, with the inexperienced Belle going up again something very black-magic-evil. Her little coven doesn’t sound like it has enough oomph either. But what she lacks in her magic, she makes up for in her courage and love for her family. Grab your copy and see if she can keep her loved ones protected.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Belle is the youngest family member and she is a witch. The family lives in Algiers close to her grandma and they had to find a new place to live because of Caleb. Belle makes friends with Jeanna and James and they are in a coven. Miri is getting married but she did not tell her man about being a witch. Now would be time to get the book. I will be getting more from this author.
I really liked this book. There was plenty of action and magic. Miri is getting married and things were fairly hectic, but something else was going on. Miri and Belle’s mother was acting weirdly and Belle suspected that she was under some magical influence. Belle has met and is enamored with a girl called Luna, who also has problems. Belle enlists the help of her small coven and her brother to sort things out, but it was not going to be easy. The local Bokor is at the bottom of things and he is really powerful. They had to not only figure out what the connection was, but work out how to fix it.
The family that informs, guides, and pushes to excel might be safer than this one, that has tried to hide the truths of powerful magicks.
Without proper guidance and direction, other forces may control, direct or destroy what was meant to be, and twist things into something else
Intense action and drama
“You’re not welcome here,” he says with a hiss. ” – Evil
James, Jeanna, Belle, Miri; young kitchen witches in a battle for their lives. Caleb, evil incarnate, but incarcerated; or is he? Caleb still exerts control over Belle’s mom, and Belle is desperate to break that hold… But can she?
In an attempt to learn how to help her mother, Belle and James arrange a meeting with James’ brother John. On their way to the meeting, Belle and James discover another young witch, Luna, who is desperately seeking answers of her own…
Evil oozes and swirls, creeping like an evil fog, twisting and twining… Grasping for more… More power, more souls… More… Belle and her friends must find a way to overcome the evil that is closing in around them… Or become a part of it…
I really enjoyed reading this book at a time we all need a little magic in our lives. Bewitching Belle is book 2 in the gifted girl series, telling the story of Belle sister to Miri and Michael and her magical journey. Two years later Belle and her mini coven are learning as they go when the threat of an evil Bokor threatens them and their magical existence. A new friend on the scene, lots of mischief and enough action to keep your attention from beginning to end. This is a very well written book and is a must read. Can be read as a stand alone but better to be read after book 1 so you can get a better sense of who everyone is and their journey separately and together.

The series continues with Miri’s sister Belle. Belle is at her wits end. Her mother is acting possessed, and the new friend she met Luna, is going through almost an identical situation with her dad. He is acting weird like Belle’s mom. The more Belle, Luna, James, and Jeanna, delvie into the situation, they realize the Bokor, and dark magic wielder is responsible, and one of his pratctioners was Caleb, Belle’s mom’s ex who is now in prison. Somehow he has stolen her soul and bound to him. How can they release her mom, and also release Luna’s dad from his bondage. They get some help from Belle’s brother Michael, but after asking James’ brother John for help, they just might find out the he is also aligned with the Bokor. They are all in danger, so how can they defeat such a powerful evil man? I see at the end of the book the next story will be about Miri’s daughter. I hope there will be a book about Michael soon. And what is John’s deal? Will there be a story about him also? I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
…and the story continues! Time has moved on since book one. Miri and Philip are now engaged, and Belle is fully immersed in her kitchen magic and learning more with her mini coven. Formed with two friends get coven gives her a sense of peace, and might not yet be complete . A familiar evil rises again, and reeks havoc among those held dear. Yet this time Belle, her family, and friends aren’t caught completely unaware. Enjoy seeing the growth in this amazing young witch. A few secrets come to light, and a few surprises along the way. Yet at the heart of it all is FAMILY. Family of the heart, family by blood, and family by choice. With family anything is possible! I LOVED seeing the growth in Belle and her siblings, and look forward to the next book about a very special family member
This story is written well, it gets you set up in the 90’s era and is very detailed in the New Orleans background and the witching world.
This story begins with our previous story’s little sister, Mirabelle. Her character development throughout the story was crafted beautifully and her family still having decent roles through the story makes it all the more magical.
I look forward to reading the next book!

I have all the nostalgia feels with the introduction of this book. It’s perfect at taking right back to the 90’s to help get your head in the right space. Right off the bat the detail in the imagines is phenomenal love the little touches.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
You know how you read a book and get upset life gets in the way that’s how I feel having to stop reading this. This book is everything I could have wanted in a sequel. Characters who sat wrong with me in the first book stood up and showed me better. Everything about this book pulled me further into the world of Magic that Debra Kristi has created.
I’m more invested than I was going into this book to see how the series continues.
A fantastic addition to the series. This story is very gripping right from the start with twists and turns. That’s a real page Turner. If your a lover of Magic and fantasy you are definitely gonna love this. The scenes are epic. I felt like I was living through the characters vicariously. I definitely recommend this more than five star read.

This is the 2nd in the Gifted Girl series. It can be read as a stand alone but why would you want to when this series is getting better with each book! I loved Belles story…. Wish I had some of her kitchen magic.
