Product Description

Amazon.ca

On the surface, it's a common domestic situation. Typically rebellious teen Savannah is constantly butting heads with protective guardian mother Paige Winterbourne. But the standard teen traumas pale in comparison to Savannah's difficulties. To begin with, her mother Eve, a black witch, was murdered, and now evil telekinetic half-demon Leah O'Donnell is trying to gain custody of her, by legal or foul means. Standing in Leah's way is Paige, a rather typical twentysomething entrepreneur, trying to come to terms with this motherhood thing. That, and her status as leader of the American Coven.

Welcome to East Falls, a sleepy small town outside of Boston that turns out to be a veritable hotbed of occult activity. It is also the locale for Dime Store Magic, a thoroughly entertaining supernatural thriller. As with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dime Store Magic features a contemporary setting and outwardly normal characters. This device provides scope for humour and social satire, and Kelley Armstrong proves adept at both. For instance, there is Savannah's observation that "all the best sorcerers are lawyers. Well, until they get older and become politicians." In fact, a young sorcerer lawyer, Luis Cortez, becomes Paige and Savannah's best ally in the fight against the evil forces terrorizing them. In Dime Store Magic, the third in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series following Bitten and Stolen, she displays a nice ear for dialogue, an imaginative way of describing the differing characteristics of witches, demons, and sorcerers, and skill in piling on the suspense, which adds up to one fun read. --Kerry Doole --This text refers to the Paperback edition.



From Publishers Weekly

Unlike the Wizard of Oz, the witches in this sexy supernatural romance, including the murdered mother of 23-year-old heroine Paige Winterbourne, are not evil entities inhabiting a fairy tale land. They're an ages-old race of women so frightened by the possibility of exposure and endangerment that they've allowed their magical powers to atrophy. When Paige inherits her mom's mantle as Coven leader, however, she also inherits caretaking responsibility of Savannah Levine, an extremely gifted but rebellious 13-year-old who possesses her dead mother's penchant for dark magic-and for attracting the unwanted attention of darker magical beings (including Savannah's long-lost sorcerer father). The only person Paige can depend on is the one person she doesn't want to associate with: Lucas Cortez, an endearingly nerdy lawyer/sorcerer ("It was a sad world when a witch had to rely on a work-starved sorcerer for help"). As in Armstrong's debut novel Bitten, this story's special strength lies in its seamless incorporation of the supernatural into the real world. A convincing small-town setting, clever contemporary dialogue, compelling characterizations and a touch of cool humor make the tale's occasional vivid violence palatable and its fantasy elements both gripping and believable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dime Store Magic, Mar 7 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Dime Store Magic: Women of the Otherworld (Mass Market Paperback)
Kelley Armstrong is a very talented writer. I loved her first two books. The third was entertaining enough. I am hoping she goes back to writing about Elena and her pack. I found Paige the witch incredibly annoying. I actually prefered the supporting characters to the main character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkably Supernatural, Sep 6 2005
This review is from: Dime Store Magic: Women of the Otherworld (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not going to write another synopsis of the book, as there are already plenty posted below. I have been reading Kelley Armstrong's books when I first stumbled upon her first book, Bitten, and have been eagerly waiting for her books to come out ever since. I honestly buy her books the day they come out, and I can assure you, this one is amazing. She is such a talented writer! Her characters are always intriguing, realistic and exciting. Her stories are creative and imaginative and have me flipping through every single page in one sitting. This is the kind of book that you will enjoy and never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful world of magic, Feb 25 2004
By mel (Hamilton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dime Store Magic (Paperback)
Rather than giving another description of the book itself, I would rather like to say that this book is fabulous. It's definately a page turner, with such creative incites into the world of witches and magic. It's not a stereotypical 'supernatural' novel. I claim that it is original, humurous, witty, and fast paced. I did my best to slow my reading down with this one so I could have something to look forward to longer-but I just couldn't! I think this is the best book yet from Armstrong, although all three (Bitten, Stolen, and Dime Store Magic) are amazing. Buy them now!
