Moonlight and Magic

by Darynda Jones

About this book

Annette Osmund spent her life pretending to be psychic, never suspecting that the magic she faked was actually dormant in her blood. Now, at forty, her world has shifted into a realm of spells and secrets. Alongside her best friend, Defiance, Annette must navigate the overwhelming discovery that she is a rare, multi-talented witch—an alchemist, healer, and charmling. As she struggles to control the volatile power surging through her veins, she finds herself relying on a dangerous source of knowledge: the gorgeous, spectral warlock haunting her new home.

This enchanting installment of the Betwixt and Between series perfectly captures the paranormal romance genre, blending supernatural stakes with the relatable charm of middle-aged heroines starting over. Readers will love the witty banter and the slow-burn chemistry between a powerful witch and her mysterious, ghostly mentor. It is a refreshing take on magical tropes, prioritizing character growth and humor over predictable outcomes.

Whether you are a longtime fan of Darynda Jones or looking for your next addictive escape, this story offers a masterful mix of mystery and heart. Dive into a world where midlife is just the beginning of the adventure, and discover why these two best friends are destined for greatness.

Darynda Jones is a masterful storyteller! She has a way of spinning humor, mystery and a touch of romance into her stories. I love that her heroines are middle aged and very realistically portrayed, well, besides the fact that they possess a bit of magic. Well, and their house is actually the great grandfather of one of the current residents. There’s just so much fun and a little craziness in this series that you will laugh, be a little scared now and then, and love the characters. ) One person...

Moonlight and Magic is the fourth book in Jones’ Betwixt and Between series that follows two forty-something women who suddenly find out that they are powerful witches, charmlings. The first three books were about Defiance. This one is about Annette. Having powers came as a huge surprise to Annette, because unlike Deph, she knows who her parents are and they’re not magical at all. So, it must mean her father isn’t who she thought. Determined to find out the truth, she travels back home to ask...

I have loved every book written by Darynda Jones. This book is no exception.

The vulnerability and quick wit of the main charachters make them so endearing and loveable. A plot with twists and turns that kept me enthralled. The it was unpredictable. I didn't want to put this down. My only complaint is that it was over too soon and now I have to wait for the next book. This author quickly became my favorite when I found the Charley Davidson reaper series. I binge read the first ten books of that series and then painstakingly had to wait for each book to come out after...

Absolutely Awesome!!!
