AUTHOR'S PREFERRED EDITION!
A cozy paranormal romance by USA Today bestselling author Mindy Klasky.
Librarian Jane Madison’s life has turned upside down since she discovered she’s a witch. The local coven has issued an invitation she can’t refuse—work a spell to protect their new safehold or lose her beloved arcane books, her sassy feline familiar, and her brooding astral protector, David Montrose.
But the coven’s test isn’t the only challenge Jane faces. There’s her new boyfriend, a handsome Brit who seems determined to distract her from magic. And a witchy friend who has a distinctly loose grasp on arcane ethics. Not to mention a long-absent mother, a mojito-loving best friend, and a boss who expects Jane to step up to the next level in library management.
Is sorcery the answer to all of Jane’s problems? Or is magic only another name for disaster?

Sorcery and the Single Girl Jane Madison Series Book 2 edition by Mindy Klasky Literature Fiction eBooks
I read the first book in this series as part of anthology. While I didn't love the first book, I liked some of the characters (David, in particular) enough to try out the second book. What I disliked about the first book was the immaturity of the heroine, Jane. After she got bamboozled in the first book, I expected Jane to have grown up, become tougher, wiser and less naïve. I was wrong. In this book, Jane goes from naïve to stupid. In this book, Jane once again trusts the wrong people, ignores HUGE red flags of their ulterior motives, and throws tantrums when her family and friends try to warn her. I really grew to detest Jane in this book, especially when she breaks the cardinal girlfriend rule – she dumps her loyal best friend in favor of a new man and new girlfriends. I became so frustrated with Jane that I stopped reading the book about halfway through and just skimmed the second half. The only reason I continued to skim, rather than just giving up on the book entirely, was that I wanted to see Jane get her comeuppance. Yes, by the end of the book, I was rooting against Jane.Jane just doesn’t work for me as a heroine. In addition to her immaturity and selfishness, she’s very inconsistent. Jane is portrayed as a self-conscious and shy character, especially in relationships. She’s so submissive during dates it’s sickening. Yet, we are supposed to believe that when a handsome man - described as the best of all movie actors rolled into one - pursues her, she doesn’t suspect ulterior motives? Really? After what happened to her in the last book?
This book is essentially a rinse, wash, repeat of the first one. There are more “mojito therapy” scenes, tales of Melissa’s first dates (which become lamer and lamer), Jane’s experiences making coffee at the library, and brunches with grandma and mom. I am puzzled as to why the author used the same exact plot from the first book in this book, especially since the plot is not effective in the first place. Readers of this genre usually want kick-ass heroines (see Kate Daniels, Rachel Morgan, etc.) who triumph over evil, not a weak heroine who gets played for a fool.
It’s probably obvious from the tenor of my review, but in case it’s not, allow me to state it clearly: I hated this book. I will not be reading any more of this series.

Sorcery and the Single Girl Jane Madison Series Book 2 edition by Mindy Klasky Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Full disclosure-- I'm friends with the author! But sent an an e-mail inviting me to write a review, so I am.
One reason I enjoyed reading this book is the local color. I live in the DC suburbs and I worked next to Georgetown for 20+ years, and Mindy got all the local scenes right--except Cake Walk is made up, and I really wish that place was as real as The Four Seasons because I am dying to try Almond Lust.
So, after setting the scene, how is the story? I liked the mix of magic with personal problems--the abandonment issues with her mother, trust issues with guys (after having been burned), and trying to fit into the local coven at the same time.
Third, I like Jane. She's not perfect, and she's not horrible, she's very human (magical, but human). That makes it easier to relate to her (OK, continuing the full disclosure, I used to be a librarian, too, so that helps).
And it's just plain fun to read.
So after reading book one, I had to go on to this one. Of course, Jane keeps making poor decisions, but even though I understand why, it is still very predictable! Lake of communication between her and her warder is the basis for most of Jane's problems (well, that and her inability to think things through). I enjoyed the ending, but the story itself fell kind of short of my expectations. Again, her love life was a mess, and it was easy to figure out what was going to happen long before Jane figured it out. That kind of thing leaves me irritated because the main character isn't supposed to be so vapid. I think the story is worth reading, but it could have been more enjoyable with a few tweeks.
The characters were unique. Jane has great friends and together they can do anything. She needs to balance her friends, her family with her beloved grandmother and strained relationship with her mother, and her work and witchcraft training. I really liked the fantasy of witches with how Jane is naïve, trusting, and sweet. It both works for her and gets her in trouble. The coven has given her a hard job, but one of the witches might not be as benevolent as she seems. I enjoyed every part of this story, but it still seems like parts of it dragged on. I still don't fully like how a gay male is literally the straight female's pet, but this story is still really good.
Wow! Wow...oh...wow...oh...wow!!! Do not expect the expected with this one. I knew that this book was going to be more intriguing but I didn't expect a little mystery to be a much bigger mystery. So much so that I had a really hard time putting down Sorcery and the Single Girl by Mindy Klasky.
Jane is back again, but this time things are bit more complicated. The I.B. is gone, but a new mystery man named Graeme has shown up. The Washington Coven has just summon Jane and Neko has been on the prowl and brought home a new playmate named Jacques who happens to be one of the men Melissa has dated.
Grandma and Clara are worried about Jane. Jane is besotted with Graeme and Melissa is feeling a bit left out. Neko is being...well...he's being Neko. All is not well though because Jane has been requested to do something very, very important for the coven. If she is not successful, she'll lose everything. And where is David, Jane's trusty warder, you might ask? He's doing his darndest to protect her, keep her focused and prepare her for the biggest magical challenge she'll have faced so far.
In the meantime, someone or something is sending out messages and this is where the mystery comes in. Believe me when I tell you I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure this one out. It took awhile and was delightfully surprised at the end when I realized that I didn't have the whole thing solved.
Ms. Klasky has really developed the characters in this book and it was truly exciting to see how the dynamics change within their environment. Truly makes me wonder where they might be heading. Although...I pretty sure I know where that might be...or do I...
