Everyone in Witch Central knows about Jamie Sullivan's precog vision: the one he saw when he first laid eyes on the woman who would one day be his wife.

Now Nat and Jamie have it all. A fiery, adorable daughter; the kind of marriage that lasts to forever and beyond; and deep roots in the love, antics, and magic of Witch Central's leading family.

Those parts of the vision have all come true. All that is missing is one small boy with dancing eyes.

And all the magic in the universe can't seem to make him real.

26 of 30 people found the following review helpful. Debora Geary always manages to find the magic By Amazon Customer Geary has created a really entertaining and rich world here -- and even if you don't like everyone in this world there are plenty of people to love. I think Geary's unique take on melding the modern day world with an "olden" charm is what makes the series soar. Geary herself seems to be a down-to-earth woman that's about spreading magic and not promoting herself, and I think that's why I love the books so much. This go around isn't spectacularly different than any of the other books, but Geary manages to give each new book in her series a specific focus that is unique to that book. That's a pretty tremendous ability for an author. By having such a wide cast of characters, and focusing on one group of those characters in each book, Geary also doesn't give her readers fatigue. How many series has everyone else read where there is no growth and no movement for the characters? Where it's clear the author just keeps churning them out for money? That's not the case with these books. There's always growth. There's always a lesson to learn. And, quite frankly, there's always family love. What's not to love?Edited to add: The ending of this book really stuck with me. It's been weeks since I read it and yet this ending is still popping up in my head from time to time. That's the mark of a great storyteller.

For Some Reason I didn't like this one as well as the others By Kindle Customer It dealt with whether or not one of the characters (Nat) could get pregnant or not. It came across too sickening sweet for me this time - I wanted to stop at one point as I thought to myself, "you've written 300+ pages about a couple's quest to conceive a child??!!" and I NEVER stop on a book and not one who's characters I really do love. I continued to read it to see what the outcome would be and enjoyed the ending but didn't enjoy the story as much this time. I still love the characters and enjoyed hearing what all the goings on were but this one just had too much of the "I love you" sort of kumbaya type of stuff in it this time and not enough "story" - we all know the family loves each other and supports each other - I think it was overdone here. I did enjoy the side story about Trinity which I think helped save the book for me in the end up. I will still order and read the next book though.

21 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Witch Central series ia resounding success! By Amazon Customer I have just finished a book that had me laughing so hard my sides are aching. It also had tears of sorrow for the pain of characters who have become more real to me than my in-laws are. As I have said before a really good author convinces you to set aside disbelief for the story. A great author convinces the reader to return to their world with joyous anticipation of rejoining near and dear friends. The people Debora Geary writes about are very real to her readers. I often think she is simply reporting on her family's antics. Now I face a long six months waiting on her next report on my friends.Thanks so very much Debora on a wonderful read!

Aaron's Rod, by D. H. Lawrence

From Library Journal Lawrence's 1921 novel of protagonist Aaron Sisson also depicts the decline of civilization following World War I. The original manuscript was heavily edited to meet the morals of the time, but this edition restores the text to its pristine condition. It also includes a scholarly introduction and notes by Scottish lecturer Steven Vine.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Review Novel by D.H. Lawrence, published in 1922. Lawrence constructed a parallel between the power that was miraculously manifested in the blossoming rod wielded by the biblical figure Aaron and the effect of the flute played by the protagonist of the novel, Aaron Sisson. Sisson is an amateur flutist who works in a coal mine. He abandons his wife and the life he has known to travel and seek new adventures, making his living as a flutist. While he is in Florence, Italy, his flute is shattered during political riots. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. An odyssey of passion, individuality and art By TheIrrationalMan Aaron Sisson, a coal miner and amateur flutist in the Midlands, abandons his wife and two children and escapes to Italy in the hope of throwing off the trammels of his environment and realising his individual potentials. His dream is to become recognised as a master flutist. In Florence, he mixes in intellectual and artistic circles and has an affair with an aristocratic lady who redeems him in his own eyes. Like the majority of Lawrence's novels, the central theme is the relations between men and women, though this time, it is given a twist owing to Lawrence nourishing his mind on a reading of Nietzsche, who was then gradually becoming recognised in England. In his analysis of the concept of "love" between the sexes, Lawrence perceives it as a function of the will to power, a cycle of reciprocal domination and surrender, in which the man must conquer and the woman must submit. Elements of the rejection of the "herd morality" on Aaron's part and his endeavour at self-development are both ideas of peculiarly Nietzschean provenance. The fact that Aaron realises himself through music is another echo of Nietzsche, who regarded music as the purest and most supreme of the arts, in which the passions achieve immense gratification. The title refers to the rod of Aaron in the Old Testament, one of Moses's renegade priests who built the golden calf in the desert for the worship of the Israelites. The rod, his symbol of authority and independence, finds its echo in Aaron's flute, which is broken later in the novel during an anarchist riot. There is a price to pay, Lawrence seems to imply, for daring to oppose orthodoxy and to try to create a new life for oneself. Unlike Lawrence's more famous works, such as "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and "Women in Love", which are both admirable for their rich, poetic prose, "Aaron's Rod" is drably written and occasionally tedious, with a narrative that is sometimes poorly connected, as it dwells on irrelevancies. However, the message, that of an individual fulfilling his duty to himself, is an encouraging and refreshing one.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Blue Ball'd By Christopher Nelson Strangely, this was my first full-length D.H. Lawrence novel. Thankfully, I'd read enough of his short stories and essays to know that Aaron's Rod isn't indicative of his artistic capabilities. I was more impressed by the concept behind the novel than its execution. Essentially, Aaron Sisson's abandonment of his family and job in order to join a travelling orchestra is meant to symbolize the power and passion of "individual freedom," "personal friendship", "masculinity" and "art". I think he only half-succeeds. Just as Aaron comes across as an "incomplete" man searching for meaning in post World War I Europe, I think the novel is too loosely constructed, and Lawrence's characters, too thinly drawn. But on a symbolic level, they are full of Lawrentian psychology. The characters of Rawden Lilly, Struthers, the Bricknells, and others all overtly represent various aspects of male and female polarities; however, they are un-memorable and sometimes difficult to relate to.I was hoping this would be more of an "artist's novel" containing interesting descriptions of Aaron's life in Florence with his bohemian friends, and to a certain extent it is, but Lawrence seemed more interested in symbolism than in telling a good story. Though scattered as a story, the concepts of individuality and society are clearly portrayed throughout "Aaron's Rod", and towards the end, when the anarchist's bomb goes off, we sense a "breaking" (the blue ball/ornament at the beginning, and the flute/rod at the end) of an outdated mode of thinking (i.e. patriarchy, male dominance, etc.) in favor not necessarily of feminity, but an integration of the two. This particular Penguin edition has an excellent introduction and helpful end-notes by Steven Vine which help explain Lawrence and his symbolism to those unfamiliar with his works. I might re-read this novel once I've read more of Lawrence, and come back to it one day from a different viewpoint, but for now, I'd have to say that unless you're a real Lawrence afficionado, I'd hold off on this one until you figure out whether or not you like Lawrence enough to proceed to something as scattered, cold, and dry as this novel comes across.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of my favorite books, but this edition is a disgrace By Robert F. Gaydos I'm not going to waste anyone's time by spouting the virtues of this book, other than it is one of those that gets better with each successive read and only makes you want to know more about Lawrence, since a lot of it is autobiographical. It's a very philisophical, thoughtful, reflective book, not heavy on plot. It might really be insubstantial if not for the quality of Lawrence's prose.Now, for this Public Domain edition (at a not so bargain price). Mmmmmm, let's see...about 12 missing pages (that's right, completely missing), pages that look like they were copied by a 3 year old, or an 87 year old lush librarian --- smudgy, misshapen words, etc. Hey, I know this work is in the public domain....that's no excuse to grab some piece of deteriorating crap off the shelf, copy it and then attempt to profit by duping people that what they're getting is a quality product.It's not like there aren't better, complete versions out there...THEY'RE ON THE WEB!!!This edition is lazy, a travesty, and should be banned from being sold by Amazon as fradulent advertising.

Review

“A dark, complex mystery with well-developed characters deeply rooted in their small-town rural setting. Larry D. Sweazy gives mystery readers a rich, satisfying read.” —KAT MARTIN, New York Times-bestselling author of Against the Wind “See Also Murder is a riveting and expertly crafted story about the toll a series of murders takes on a salt-of-the-earth North Dakota farming community in 1964. The book is populated by a rich cast of three-dimensional characters, each of whom is affected not only by the crimes that take place but also by the harsh and relentless wear and tear of the weather and the lingering aftereffects of the Second World War. And who better to save the day than Sweazy's protagonist, Marjorie Trumaine, a gritty, thoughtful, and determined freelance book indexer who is just as comfortable using her considerable mind as she is the .22 she dutifully carries when danger lurks? I couldn't put this book down. It's one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time, and I look forward to more in this engaging and powerful series.” —DAVID BELL, award-winning and bestselling author of Somebody I Used to Know “For a mystery to work, we must be engaged in time, place, and people. See Also Murder does this in spades. Sweazy has a created a new, relatable, and endearing hero in Marjorie Trumaine, the indexer who becomes a detective, and by writing in her voice, a voice of the prairie, demonstrates again that he is as fine a genre writer as exists. But Sweazy goes further. By taking us to the isolated plains of the Midwest during the 1960s, he has found his own perfect backdrop for murder. Like Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles or Elmore Leonard’s Detroit, Larry Sweazy can claim the Dakotas as his own, with every approaching lone car a threat, and every silhouette on the horizon a possible killer. In See Also Murder, [he] shows us his landscape brilliantly, and proves that miles of open nothing can be as dark and dangerous as a rain-soaked back alley.” —C. COURTNEY JOYNER, author of Shotgun “See Also Murder begins as a deceptively quiet work but is quick to snare the unsuspecting reader with powerful writing and a precise sense of place. Confident, stark descriptions whistle through these haunting pages, borne on unrelenting prairie winds that strip deceptions and leave little hidden. Here is that rare combination of artistic use of language and crackerjack storytelling in a mystery filled with moments of bold, sudden revelation. Equally impressive are reflective passages of admiration for everyday beauty appreciated by unlikely heroic protagonist, farm wife, and indexer Marjorie Trumaine, even in the midst of unexpected brutal circumstances. Sweazy’s powerful mystery will guide the reader wide-eyed into the wee hours, savoring the task of picking at the tight weave of crime within. The only disappointment comes in waiting for a second book in what is sure to be a long-lived series.” —MATTHEW P. MAYO, Spur Award-winning author of Tucker’s Reckoning

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. See Also Murder By - A Marjorie Trumaine has gone through so much over the past few years. She and her husband Hank used to run their farm together in North Dakota. But Hark has had a very serious accident leaving him almost completely paralyzed and blind. Marjorie now cares for her husband and the farm with the help of her neighbors and friends. Marjorie is an avid reader and was able to take a class that now has her employed as an indexer. This keeps their bills paid and food on their table.One day when Sheriff Hilo Jenkins comes to the door and it isn't to have a visit with his close friend Hank, Marjorie is puzzled. Sheriff Jenkins informs her that their neighbor's Mr. and Mrs. Knudson have been murdered and an amulet was found clutched in Mr. Erik Knudson's hand. Sheriff Hilo Jenkins quietly asks Marjorie to help him investigate this amulet and find out as much about it as she possibly can.Because of her husband's close friendship with the sheriff and her worry of the murder being so close, she agrees to find out all she can. But when she starts to feel like she's being watched, and more murders occur, she becomes more determined to help solve this mystery. What can these amulets mean? Who is killing the good people of their small town and why?Author Larry Sweazy had me up late two nights in row lost in his beautifully written mystery. His writing made me feel like I was right there with Marjorie. I was thrilled with the twists and turns that were taken. It also made me realize what it was like to solve a murder and to take care of her ill husband without all of the new gadgets that we have today. I highly recommend See Also Murder to anyone that loves a good old-fashioned mystery with a strong, intelligent heroine. This one will surely keep you up at night!

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A very good new mystery series By Epilady Set in a small North Dakota town, we meet Marjorie. She's the wife of a disabled man (Hank), and so the brunt of maintaining the farm falls to Marjorie (and some teenage neighbors). Marjorie had been enrolled in a correspondence course to teach indexing so she could earn extra money. That course come in handy when the Sheriff asks for her help solving the murder of the teenager's parents. Oddly, a Norse amulet was found in the closed fist of the dead father, and Marjorie begins researching it. The story is told through Marjorie's eyes alone, which means the reader uncovers information at the same time she does.It might be easy for some readers to figure out who the murderer is, but it's still a fun read. Characters are well developed, have a good story, and dialogue was believable. Those readers who enjoy organization will appreciate how indexing is interwoven into figuring out the mystery.This is set to become a series, and this reader looks forward to the next one! Very enjoyable read.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A good old fashioned mystery By Amelia G Earhart This whole story starts out with a great mystery – one that is close to Marjorie Trumaine by distance and by friendship—and causes her involvement in researching a clue left at the murders, an amulet with Norse runes. All very clever and interesting.This mystery will have Marjorie Trumaine questioning everything and everyone that she knows and believes.I love the old fashioned sensibilities to this story, even of not being able to bring a phone to her husband because the cord would never be long enough. Even the typeface is like a typewriter. All very charming and reminiscent of life. This is a first rate story.

All William wanted was to save the world. Now he cannot even save himself. William Brook is an idealistic young cleric, desperate to escape dreary England for a mission adventure in exotic lands. It's his worst nightmare come true when he is posted to a parish in a tiny backwater village, populated with small-minded people and husband-hunting mamas. He’s determined not to form any ties and to escape the country as an independent single man. A free spirit, Cecilia Grant is perfectly content to remain in her family home in Amberley village - when she's not wandering the countryside at all hours painting. Marriage options are few, but that won't stop her mother from engineering a match with one of the ruling family's sons. Cecilia attempts to win the man, but what is it about the new vicar and his brooding ways that is so appealing? Could he be the only one who has ever really understood her, and can she discover what he is running away from? As William struggles not to fall in love with the lady's intoxicating beauty and mysterious eccentricity, he finds himself drawn into the lives of the villagers, despite their best efforts to alienate the newcomer. When he makes it clear he's not sticking around, Cecilia strives to restrain her blossoming feelings for him. Just when it seems love may triumph, dark secrets are revealed in Amberley and a scandal from William’s past may see the end of not only his career, but his chance at finding an everlasting love. The Vagabond Vicar is an unashamedly romantic historical novel you'll fall in love with. If you love Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, can't get enough of Downton Abbey or Cranford, or just prefer old-fashioned boy-meets-girl stories, try reading Charlotte Brentwood. Fans of traditional regency romance or clean historical romance won't be disappointed. PRAISE FOR THE VAGABOND VICAR “I am completely, unabashedly in love with this book. Many books claim ‘fans of Jane Austen will love this’ - this one lives up to the claim. It's an enchanting read that pulls you into it and carries you happily along. It was so refreshing to read a high-quality book that was clean all the way through.” Heather from Word Menagerie (5/5 stars) “I absolutely adored this novel. It’s a beautiful, historical version of boy-meets-girl. The narrative is wonderfully written, with exquisite attention to detail. William Brook is likely to get fans fluttering and cheeks flushing.” Alexia Bullard for eBook Review Gal (5/5 stars) “As an avid admirer of Jane Austen’s work, this sweet Regency romance was right up my alley. The romance between William and Cecilia was nicely woven together with the happenings of the village, which gave it a nice village chronicle feel, similar to Cranford and other such stories. Great story with interesting characters.” Midnight Attic Reader (5/5 stars) “Secrets, lies, scandal and misunderstandings, they are all in this delightful tale from Ms. Brentwood, as well as young love. ...A gem of a find, pure entertainment, and a trip back to a time when social proprieties could make or break a young woman.” Dii from Tome Tender (5/5 stars) Sensuality level: sweet,clean (only kissing) Please note, although there is some mention of religious subject matter due to the hero's occupation, this is not an "inspirational" novel.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Thoroughly enjoyable read By Jillian As a huge Austen/Brontë fan I've been disappointed time and time again by modern "historical fiction" that promised a good read but turned out to just be soft porn in bonnets.This is not one of those books.This is one for the romantics, the detail-oriented, those who love a good plot twist, likeable characters and believable dialogue. You'll find yourself torn between dismay and relief as the hero and heroine come to terms with their growing attraction for each other - an attraction which neither of them initially welcomes.And while the inevitable romance slowly unfolds, there is plenty of entertainment to be had in the myriad subplots - mysteries, intrigue and scandal amongst the upper class of picturesque Amberley.The Vagabond Vicar is a light-hearted, refreshing romp through the ins-and-outs of small town politics and romance. The attention to detail will astound you, the humour will amuse you, and the characters will captivate you. And before you know it, just like me, you'll be sitting around impatiently awaiting a sequel...

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What I liked: It was a charming By Aneta Kochanska What I liked:It was a charming, sweet story with your obligatory HEA waiting like a faithful dog at the very end. No, in this genre, a traditional regency romance, such a remark is not a spoiler; it is rather a confirmation that the book won’t disappoint you. I liked the fact that the main hero was a very pious, very serious young vicar who didn’t want to marry but fell for an oddball of a miss. I am so tired with all those rakes. His love interest, Cecilia, was a girl artistically inclined, prone to daydreaming and too honest for her own good but not skilled in flirting or husband-hunting. Overall they made a charming couple.Of course there were some necessary obstacles. Firstly, William still dreamed about a mission in Africa or India so he was very unwilling to look for a bride. Then Cecilia’s mum proved to be a kind of a snob – she wanted her only daughter not only married but married well, with a title, a mansion, a fleet of carriages, a house in London and plenty of pin money to spend. In her opinion William’s modest income hardly qualified at all and there was another bachelor available, the younger son of the local, aristocratic Barrington family who seemed to be the perfect candidate (but not the perfect match).I was also glad Cecilia was given a lot of subtle sense of humour. The presence of a female sidekick in a form of Amy Miller who was working as a maid for the Barringtons and had secrets and problems of her own didn’t hurt either. Overall I suppose Miss Jane Austen would feel in Amberley completely at home most of the time – the author tried very hard to keep the world build properly anachronistic, in accordance with the era, which I appreciate a lot. It was a nice depiction of a time when a good reputation could be damaged by even an innocent secret, when young women pregnant out of wedlock were ostracized and being of a noble and rich gent carried a lot of weight.Oh and last but not least: the cover. It’s gorgeous and it reflects the innocent charm of that novel very well – definitely a good choice.What I didn’t like:The baddie, Barrington. I wish he was fleshed out better. I don’t want to spoil you; let me just say that, as a rake, he was surprisingly inept. I did hope for some more action from his side, some more nastiness and I was given just half-backed attempts at revenge which backfired anyway. I hate stupid baddies. Still I’ve found out he is given a book of his own so perhaps not all is lost.Apart from that the plot became a touch too predictable near the end and, as a result, the novel stopped being so absorbing but, as I said, it is hardly a flaw, being one of the main features of the genre.Final verdict:If you like original, Austen-like stories without any fanfiction play, with just a few chaste kisses between two main leads, this is definitely a Regency novel worth adding to your to-read list. Normally, I’m not a romance fan. I like my stories darker, with a lot of suspense, shadowy characters and death lurking around the corner; some purple prose doesn’t hurt either. Still I shamelessly admit I enjoyed The Vagabond Vicar a lot: it was a breeze to read, it was sweet and pretty straightforward without being simplistic. I guess from time to time everybody needs a little sugary snack – this was my bookish equivalent.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Love and Joy By Arietta I have a very soft spot for HR's that feature vicars, and this was a really wonderful story of a vicar who was zealous but also wounded, and whose over-riding ambition, to be a missionary, was thwarted by the wishes and instructions of his superior. So, off he went, reluctantly and somewhat dourly, to his first assignment at a country parish.I believe this is a first novel, and I think Ms. Brentwood did a great job.What stood out for me was the believability of the H and the h's personalities and temperaments, and the lovely way they fell for each other. They were not perfect. And in their mutual love, there was true joy. It was refreshing, and realistic. It made me happy. Two such people could really have existed and completed each other, and it was delightfully portrayed.If I were to offer the author any advice, it would be to avoid the hash/rehash inner musings of the characters. Most readers don't need things figured out or restated. That is something that drives me crazy. But it wasn't over the top!! So don't let it stop you from picking this up!Another reviewer mentioned the historical inaccuracies; for some this is a show-stopper. I am guessing that Ms. Brentwood might have been trying to convey that the H was the sort of fellow (and the h was the sort of woman) who was not swayed by convention, at least not when it got in the way of true charity and fellow-feeling. Maybe it was a bit heavy-handed on the part of the author, but this is her first novel, recall.All in all, I recommend this lovely novel and encourage Ms. Brentwood to delight us soon with another great tale.

"[...] "Yes, there's the bell." The significance of Bannon's arrival, and the fact that he was planning to stay, was slow in coming to Peterson. After supper, when they had returned to the room, his manner showed constraint. Finally he said:— "Is there any fuss up at the office?" "What about?" "Why—do they want to rush the job or something?" [...]".

55 of 56 people found the following review helpful. A story in which ability is what makes the hero. By A Customer Calumet "K" is not great literature; it is simply light popular fiction from 1901. But it is well worth reading nevertheless. Calumet "K" tells the story of how Charlie Bannon, the story's hero, attempts to complete construction of a Chicago grain elevator in the face of a series of hurdles that threaten to scuttle the project. How Bannon deals with these challenges will fill you with delight and admiration. But this story has a deeper significance. Bannon is presented as a hero because he is superbly competent. He is a man who can get things done in the face of unexpected challenges. He is also a man who loves his work. To Bannon, work is not just a job; it is a sacred calling. This exalted view of work is very rare in fiction -- the only other authors I know of who have captured it are Ayn Rand and, in some of his stories, Rudyard Kipling. Calumet "K" is worth reading for another reason: it gives a glimpse of the American sense of life of a century ago: the sense that the world is a benevolent place open to individual achievement, where competence is practical and is rewarded, and where men are free to achieve great things through their work. All of this is merely implicit; this is not a story of ideas. But the ideas it embodies are great.

By A Customer This novel reminds me of the John Wayne film, "Red River" which celebrates the kind of stubborn, fighting spirit that really won the west. This book is MUST reading for readers who are disgusted by the wimpy, wet noodle specimens of humanity that you encounter on the street every day. Don't let the crude writing technique put you off. This book is an oasis of sanity and would be a bargain at twice the price!

16 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Great example of its genre By richard@stiennon.com Calumet K is one of many books that I classify as "hero novels", books that could be termed Hortio ALger for adults.This short book is the story of one man's adventure in building one of the largest grain elevator's in the world. If you are an engineer or interested in the history of structures in the US this is a must read.Put this on your shelf next to "Banker and Bear", "Cash McCall", and "The Fountainhead".-RS
