The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker

Review: I will admit I picked up this book almost wholly based on the title which sadly turned out to be the best part of the 500+ page book. At the outset, the synopsis on the back was misleading. It only covered the first 50 pages at which point the story goes in an completely different direction. In addition, this book was entirely too long with large portions having to do with banalities. I don’t like to denigrate someone’s labor of love especially since I have such affection for the written word but this book was terrible, just terrible.
