New Witch on the Block

Written by Louisa West

Narrated by Johanna Parker

She thought she was running away from her past, not catching up with it.

Rosemary Bell just wants to live a quiet, happy life and raise her daughter as far away from her toxic ex-husband as she can get. But when they move into a decrepit cottage in the woods of Mosswood, Georgia, Rosie realizes her life will never be simple.

A gang of meddling neighborhood do-gooders want to run her out of town. The vicious laundromat machines keep eating her spare change. Not to mention her buff Irish stalker who insists that he's a Witch King and that it's her royal destiny to be his Queen.

And to top it all off, strange things keep happening around Rosie when she least expects it . . .

She could deal with it all, but her ex won't rest until he tracks her down. When her ability to protect her daughter is threatened, Rosie shows them all that nobody messes with the new witch on the block.

So funny!! LOL'd so many times. Loved the characters - I SO want a Declan. Well written, looking forward to the next. I enjoyed the narrators Scottish accent.

This was an easy read and entertaining. Our protagonist, Rosemary (Rosie) exhibited all the personality traits that I love. She’s intelligent, resilient, self-reliant and has oodles of gumption. The supporting cast are a diverse group, showcasing lots of different characteristics. I loved reading about Rosie’s midlife coming-of-age challenges and seeing her blossom in confidence. Rosemary Bell is fleeing an abusive biker husband. She and her daughter, Maggie, end up in a small cottage out in the woods in a small town. She is relieved to get away.
However, she runs into more trouble as the do gooders in town have decided to run her out of town based on made up lies. Her ex is still trying to track her down.
And she starts to realize she has a lot of power as a witch.
