Barely Bewitched was a fun, magical mess. Tammy Jo, the southern witch with powers that don't seem to work properly, has been found guilty for her illegal use of magic she and Bryn performed when they rid the town of the werewolves last week. The World Association of Magic (WAM) Conclave sends Jordan Perth, a wizard sent to assist her in training for her Initial Challenge. If she "should fail to comply with the completion of the Initial Challenge ... {she} will be subject to incarceration or extermination." In addition to Mr. Perth, Incendio, a fire starter who has a history with the women of Tammy Jo's family, is sent to help. Incendio has a wild temper and believes he's above the law, human and witch.She continues to fight with Jenna Reitgarten, the obnoxious girl who stole her family's jewelry. Jenna is determined to get Tammy Jo to leave the town. Tammy Jo cursed Jenna with the hiccups, which she's still suffering from after one week. TJ's determined to get her jewelry back and decides she has to take matters into her own hands.She's still in an on-again off-again relationship with her ex-husband, sheriff, Zach. Neither one of them can let go even knowing how badly things were when they were married. Tammy's growing and changing in ways that Zach has a hard time understanding. But, he's always around trying to keep her safe. TJ can't get over her physical attraction to him. Edie, her ghostly aunt and Mercutio, her cat, are there to help her as she gets herself into and out of trouble throughout the story. Her relationship with Bryn grows more complicated as they work together to try to find a way out of trouble with WAM. He brings out the magic in her and she helps him do things no one else can.I enjoyed Barely Bewitched a lot more than Would-Be Witch, next year. [Format Read: eBook]
