Rory MacKenzie has been treated as a pariah for his entire life because his
ancestor lost the woman he loved and by sending her his greatest piece of work,
he cursed the village for all eternity. Victoria Cartwright has inherited the
key to a mysterious wardrobe that will only reveal its treasures for the woman
with the magic of her ancestors. When Vickie opens the wardrobe and finds a
beautifully carved unicorn, she and Rory find themselves thrown together by the
choices of their ancestors.
This is the final book in the Accidental
Witch Trilogy (after The Kitchen Witch and My Favorite Witch) and this time focuses on Vickie. Although the series began
as pure contemporary romances, the magical aspect has steadily grown and this
sits very close to being a paranoraml romance. I've wanted to know more about
Vickie since she was introduced so it's great to see things from her
perspective.
The storyline is well plotted and maintains a steady pace
throughout. There are a few twists and turns which keep things interesting, one
of which introduces Harmony, Destiny and Storm who are set to star in the
Triplet Witch trilogy which follows on from this. The romance between Vickie and
Rory is well written. Vickie dislikes Rory from the start and Rory isn't looking
for romance so they each resist the feelings developing between
them.
Unlike in the previous books, Vickie is very body conscious and
this is well dealt with as unlike other romances she doesn't suddenly realise
her beauty when a hot guy takes an interest. The other aspect of the book that
is particularly well done is the scars both Vickie and Rory carry from their
childhoods and gradually begin to heal with the support of each other.
I
was really surprised by how much I liked Vickie's antique store. Vintage fashion
has been a key element in the books since the beginning so it was really great
to read more about it. The magic in the story is also unique as rather than cast
spells, Vickie seems to make rhyming wishes that come true in some hilarious
ways.
All in all, this was a great read and I'm looking forward to the
first Triplet Witch book Sex and the Psychic Witch.
