Review - The Professor Woos The Witch


The Professor Woos The Witch by Kristen Painter

4 gnomes out of 5 gnomes

I adore this series, it’s just so much fun. The characters, mythology, and town itself make for some really compelling reading. Plus this series is definitely great to read in October around Halloween.

I’ve always wanted to know more about Pandora and what her deal is. Her whole witchy family is a blast to read about. It was great seeing more of them and Pandora.

Cole is an interesting case, I really liked the mythology associated with him because it wasn’t where I thought the book was going to go. I like how this book showed him dealing with finding out that all this supernatural stuff is very much real.

The relationship in this one was well done too. I like that they took things slow and stop to really figure things out.

Having a teenager in the mix this time helped the story too. The kids of Nocturne Falls are some really interesting characters.

Things that were awesome:

Learning more about witches in Nocturne Falls
Characters
Relationships
Family Dynamics

I liked the twists and turns of it all and that final confrontation does come as a surprise. I’m looking forward to reading whatever is next in this series.

Mini Review - Outlander

5 out of 5 gnomes

I’ll admit, the giant size of this book, the number of books in this series, and the fact that it was first released in 1991 (when I was in first grade) made me hesitant to read the series. Once I became a book blogger though and heard great things about it and then when the TV show started I knew I wanted to read it.

At first I just read enough to keep up with the TV show but then once I got to a certain point I just had to keep reading. It has a little bit of everything: time travel, romance, surprising characters, witch craft, and a plethora of awesome characters.

Claire’s story is well done and I don’t plan to read the second book right away I just might wait until the second season of the TV show starts. I love contrasting between the book and what happens on the show.

Overall I would definitely recommend checking out this series both in book and TV form.
