Perfectly Wicked by Lindsay Lovise

 

I thought this was going to be a YA style book, maybe a bit like Harry Potter, but then I came to a scene that was certainly not YA! Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it, and it captured my interest throughout. It was a sort of Romcom with some magic thrown in, and I hope there is a sequel.

 

Holly and her sister have an orchard in America, which they run with their two Aunts. They are known for making the best cider in the region. They are also known for their orchard being haunted – which does them no favours. The orchard and business is about to go out of business. They have had an offer to buy them out from a rival orchard, so when a famous ghost hunter who runs a TV reality show, offers them a large sum to film at the orchard it seems to be the lesser of two evils and Holly, very reluctantly, accepts. What Holly doesn’t bank on is developing feelings for the reality host and she tries to ensure that this doesn’t endanger them all.

 

This reminded me a bit of Harry Potter in that I think it would appeal to a wide age range, and the magical side is at the centre of the narrative. I loved it as it had all the elements I love in a good book, and I am really hoping there will be a sequel.
