Miranda Moon has been cursed. Ever since she had the misfortune to come in contact with a crude love spell, she’s had one bad date after another. After lighting a man’s hair on fire and ending up on a blind date with her cousin, she’s ready to lose herself in the books she writes and live her life as a spinster… until Gideon Alexander, the one man she’s always wanted, walks back into her life.

Gideon Alexander doesn’t date. He’s been burned one too many times. But when he’s asked to plan the Keating Hollow Christmas ball with his old friend Miranda Moon, suddenly he finds himself breaking his own rules. Maybe dating the sexy author is just what his scarred heart needs. The only problem? Miranda’s curse has the potential to destroy their relationship before it ever begins.

Trouble getting into this one. Might re-read later. Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) The Witches of Keating Hollow series has been a blast. I’ve been devouring the books off Kindle Unlimited.

I just love the small town of Keating Hollow. It’s a wonderful magical community where everyone knows everyone and what’s going on. Each book in the series brings us a new couple to enjoy as well as new drama and emotional struggles. I just love the light magical feel and the heartfelt romances. This series is full of facing what life throughs at us, healing oneself, finding love and family and friendships.

I recommend reading this series in order.

*****

Miranda Moon came in contact with a crude love spell and she’s had one bad date after another. Gideon Alexander has been burned one too many times and no longer dates. When Gideon runs into Miranda on his vacation will this be their second chance at the one that got away or will bad luck continue to curse Miranda?

It’s a magical tale with a cherry Christmas celebration. The chemistry between these two is off the charts; however they both need to deal with the past before they can move forward. We are treated to some regulars popping up and a sneak peek into the next couple.

I liked the humor in this story and the romance. As always I had a blast and can’t get enough of the cute town and how everyone just seems to find tranquility and their HEA’s.

Rated: 4 Stars

However, they need to deal with the past before they can move forward. I was happy to see some of the series regulars pop up in the story. It was nice to find out how Silas and Levi are getting along. I enjoy Deanna Chase’s engaging writing style which makes the book just fly by. Essence of the Witch deals with second chances, miscommunication, and misunderstandings. There are intimate situations and some foul language. I did appreciate that there was less of it in this edition and more creative phrases used instead. I enjoyed the sneak peek at the next which will feature Cameron and Wanda. It looks like it will be a humorous story. Essence of the Witch is a bewitching tale with glammed up golf carts, flirty fairies, gregarious girlfriends, a cheery Christmas celebration, swaying snowmen and an unpredicted proclamation.

Each visit to Keating Hollow has me wanting to take and trip and visit these characters that have become like friends. An enjoyable book in a great series. Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) Another chapter in the saga of the Witches of Keating Hollow set during the Christmas holiday. Miranda is a romance author and her first book is being made into a movie which is about her romance with Gideon. Of course the names are changed in the story. He was her first love and the one that got away and she never really got over him after so many years. He feels the same about her and when he ends up in Keating Hollow for vacation the romance begins again, but can they get past all the meddling by his father to reach their HEA? If you love a good second chance romance this is a book for you. The story ends with another relationship brewing in Keating Hollow, can’t wait for the next installment in the series.

Witches of Keating Hollow
Miranda Moon had a Blind date with a screen writer. He was her favorite and a long time friend had set them up but he couldn't make it and sent his assistant in him place. he was hot eye candy so why not right? Things were going great until out of nowhere her ex from college showed up Gideon the same ex that dumped and she wrote her first hit book about only she gave them the happy ending they didn't get. But when Gideon showed up just to say hi everything went bad. Lol I'll let you read to find out what happens but it doesn't stop here some one is messing with her movie her first too. Seems everyone knows about who is playing in it and everything about it but her? So what's going on? Who is out to get her? Then there is her ex. He is the only man she has ever loved but she knows he will be leaving again. What is she going to do? I love the characters in this story there so life like ! They put you into the story and keep you hang one each page. There is drama, mystery, betrayal, spice, and so much more. I couldn't put it down. This story is not to be missed my magic romance fans pals. Your going to love this one
This story is amazing I loved it
Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) This book is chicken soup for your heart and soul. I can’t wait for the next trip back to Keating Hollow. Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) The main characters are similar like the last book; yet instead of having too many similarities, they are more complimentary than the previous couple. I appreciate the candidness in conversations between them as their relationship develops instead of falling back on the tried and true miscommunications or lack thereof. Ever since Miranda first appeared in one of the early stories, I was intrigued by her, but it was awfully convenient for her to have moved to Keating Hollow for this book. I wish she had made a cameo in a previous book to set this book up better. And her personality was a bit more toned down than she first appeared. I wish more of that fire, passion, and snark would have come through.

Since a few people have now been affected by a love spell, or curse, I sincerely hope that Chase is setting us up to reveal the mystery of whose spells are backfiring, or why they’re trying to spell love interests in the first place. It’s nice that the recent book characters are tied in, yet I’m starting to miss seeing the details and interactions with the Townsend family; especially their father who spent so long battling cancer and is now in remission. Their family dynamic really added a next level to the series that’s now somewhat missing. I’m cautiously optimistic for the plots for future books, but right now there isn’t any major conflict to really tie together the series, so I wonder how much longer it will keep going.
Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) Paranormal writer Miranda Moon couldn't believe the bad luck she's had lately with her dates. Normally, her curvy body in tight fitting dresses was enough to bring men to their knees. For the last few weeks, they have been falling at her feet... literally. She hasn't had one successful date... her dating fails included a blind date with her cousin! She really couldn't believe her luck. She felt like she was cursed! Content with her new life in Keating Hollow, parked at her usual table at Incantation Cafe while busily working on her new book, she decided to swear off men... until the one that got away strolled right back into her life!

Ace Media studio exec, Gideon Armstrong couldn't believe his eyes. There she was, in all of her beautiful glory... the one he let slip away 15 years before. In Keating Hollow for a vacation from the Hollywood media scene, Gideon was just looking for some off-the-radar R&R. He never dreamed he'd see her again.

Would they be able to get past their past and the studio exec who had stopped at nothing to prevent Gideon and Miranda from living their perfect lives? Would her very first book, the one that told the love story of she and Gideon be the catalyst to bring them back together to live the ending she wrote in the book? Will love truly conquer all? Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8) Audio book review

Book 8 in this fantastic witches series . This story will suck you in and not let you go . Deanna Chase wrote a story that you will see each character interwoven in each story. Once you listen to a story and see a side character you wish that heroine will get her own story.

Gideon and Miranda have been high school sweethearts, but something tore them apart . Miranda is trying to move on , she goes on a few dates but the dates turn out so bad that you will laugh over those dates . You will route for Miranda and Gideon to open their eyes and see the love between them .

Gabra Zackman performance is fantastic. She brought this story to live . You can tell each character by the tone of Gabra voice Essence of the Witch (Witches of Keating Hollow, #8)
