About this ebook
What's worse than fighting with allies? Fighting without them.
Wizard and archivist Lily Singer wishes life would just leave her alone. But after opening the "Pandora's box" of her dark family past, larger plots are put into motion and people start getting hurt. From conducting genetic experiments to awakening a wizard of ancient legend, her enemies have no intention of making life easy.
Now Lily must reconcile old grudges, make questionable allies, and bend the law to fix a problem that's not even her fault. Worse, she's having inconvenient feelings for her ne'er-do-well witch friend while trying to date an overeager FBI agent. With old and new allies making life complicated, can Lily and her friends work together to save the day? Or will they let their differences divide them as evil runs rampant?
With 400+ five star ratings on Amazon and Goodreads and over 50,000 copies downloaded, this urban fantasy series full of adventure and snarky humor is guaranteed to cause loud snorts of laughter, tea cravings, and sleep loss. Don't start reading at night or you'll never go to bed! Great for fans of urban fantasy from Harry Potter to Harry Dresden. Grab Book 3: Allies, and get ready for a wild adventure.

Reviews for Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus Allies
12 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As I continue my habit of reading books in series out of order, this is book three of the Lily Singer adventures. Sebastian and Lily are, however reluctantly, starting to face up to their feelings about each other. Even Madam Barrington is beginning to be forced to reevaluate her opinion of Sebastian.
All this reexamining is helped along by the fact that Lily now knows a good deal of the information about her past that first her mother and then her mentor, Madam Barrington, had kept from her in a not altogether well-thought-out plan "for her own protection."
Sebastian is still keeping secrets "for her own good." Her new maybe-boyfriend, FBI Agent Richard Grant, is also keeping secrets, and some of that may also be "for her own good," although some of it is just for the sake of his case.
What adds insult to injury is that her cat, Sir Edgar Allan Kipling, is in cahoots with Sebastian to protect her...
You can see why Lily might be getting a little bit frustrated with people in her life trying to protect her by keeping secrets.
Lily is trying to be more confident and assertive. Sebastian is trying to be more thoughtful about what Lily really wants.
But the big issue is that they're discovering that Lily's father, John Faust LeFay, has been kidnapping children for years. The fact that he's recently kidnapped his brother, Lily's Uncle Allen, is a minor point by comparison.
It's a story that keeps moving, and things keep happening, and you won't get bored. Still just a light, entertaining read, but still a lot of fun.
Recommended.
