“This is a silly but engaging series about werewolves, witches, vampires, and demons. Some cool relationships and decent sex scenes. A good beach-type or poolside read!”

“Paige Winterbourne has spent much of her twenty-threes years of life in trouble with the Elders who felt her defiant ways made her unfit to succeed her highly regarded mother as head of the American Coven of Witches. However, nine months ago, the Elders and Paige no longer had time when her mother was murdered. Paige “adopted” a young teen witch Savannah Levine who also saw her mom die. Conversely Savannah's dad, the powerful sorcerer Kristof Nash, wants his child who he ignored for years as he recognizes the evil potential.

Besides the common thread of mourning their losses, Paige knows that Kristof dabbles in malevolence and will use his offspring in the dispute against witches and others. Kristof will do anything to obtain control of this “weapon” including murder and framing Paige as the culprit. Her best hope to stop Kristof is attorney Lucas Cortez who is a sorcerer and everyone knows that sorcerers and witches are like oil and water so why does she think he is such a hunk? ”
“Kelley Armstrong's Dime Store Magic is book 3 in the fantastic Women of the Otherworld series. This is the story of Paige Winterborne, the young leader of the American Coven, and my absolute least favorite character from the previous book. In Stolen (book 2 of the series,) Paige loses her mother and gains a ward, a powerful young witch named Savannah. Dime Store Magic continues the story with both the usual struggles of raising a teenage girl, and the unusual issues you face when that emotionally volatile girl is also a witch coming into her real powers.

As I said before, Paige is not really my favorite character. Fortunately, raising Savannah has made her much more sympathetic. Although I'm still not in love with her, I don't dislike her anymore. Paige does the best she can for Savannah - protecting her from her father's Cabal and a nasty custody battle, while trying to instill good values in her. Her beloved Coven has all but abandoned her, believing that Savannah is more trouble than she is worth. Much to their dismay however, Paige will not give up on the girl - it's one of her best qualities as far as I am concerned.
As with the previous two books, Dime Store Magic is a well-written, fun piece of paranormal/fantasy fiction. I was sad not to see more of Elena Michaels in this book, but perhaps her story is over. I'd like to see where Paige and Savannah go in the future, and whether or not their sexy sorcerer lawyer, Lucas Cortez goes with them. I'll definitely be looking for the next book at the library. This is an excellent and complex series that is full of surprises and interesting characters.”
“Strong willed women, great world to read about. Savanah the witch is becominga women and strong too.. Cortez is a doll.”

“Moving right along in the Women of the Otherworld series brings me to Dime Store Magic. This may be my favorite in the series thus far. There's Cabals and Covens, spells and sorcery, walking dead and ghostly spirits....pretty much everything supernatural you could want in a novel.

This book has a change in main characters from the previous two. In Dime Store Magic, Paige and her young witch ward Savannah take center stage. These two witches team up with a very dashing and gallant young sorcerer lawyer named Lucas Cortez to try to fight a powerful Cabal bent on taking Savannah. There is lots of great action, a little light romance and plenty of spell casting. As always Kelley Armstrong's wit, humor and sharp dialogue make for a very fun read.”
“No, there's nothing tremendously ground-breaking about The Women of the Underworld series, but there's nothing wrong with that. Fun, holds a good balance of urban fantasy and paranormal romance (yes, there IS a difference), though you will find yourself caring about some characters more than others. ”

“I didn't think I was going to like this book. I guess I empathized with Clay too much and didn't care for Paige. But I ended up loving it. ”
