review 1: This is a hard book to review. For one thing, it's a novella and so only contains a few chapters but then I knew that when I ordered it and the price reflected that. That's not a criticism in any way. I'm just stating why I appeared to finish it so fast.As one can gather from the title the book deals with sex and magic as well as combining the two. Therefore, its few chapters are very steamy and erotic. I won't comment on the magic suffice to say it's not 'fantasy' magic with special effects. Given that the author is a witch herself, I suspect that the magic is real enough. Not being a witch myself (being the athiest that I am kind of precludes that) I'm unable to say for sure.So there is sex and magic in a novella entitled Sex Magick so why only four stars and not five?We... morell, nothing happens. There is no plot. What is written is written well but other than the fact I liked what was there, there is no impetus for me to buy the follow-up. I can only assume that this is more a story of the two lives of Noelle, the witch and Wynn, a shapeshifter. As such there would be no plot as the story would just follow how they lived there lives.I'll very likely get the follow up. After all, the price is nothing at all to complain about and it's rare that I don't collect an entire series.
review 2: Laura Stamps' Rune Witch Trilogy gets a running start with Sex Magick. Noelle and Wynn are such an eclectic couple. I really enjoyed Sex Magick, it was the quick and fun read.I loved Wynn, he was so easy going, and comfortable in his own skin. Laura Stamps has a way of making Wynn sound so unbelievable sexy, with his long black hair, that you want him in your bedroom. Wynn is also a cat shapeshifter, purrifict. Noelle, is on the short side at only 5 feet, but she has a strong personality that it makes up for it. She has a goth look going on with her short dark spiky hair, and it works for her. She is 35, and has avoided any long term relationships until she met Wynn. One of my favorite things about Noelle and Wynn was how playful they were with each other. That is something every committed couple needs. The only thing I didn't care for was that Noelle and Wynn decide to cast a sex magick spell to help her stock portfolio. I guess I had a problem with that because using magic to gain money seemed like stealing to me, and against everything I believe in. But boy does the casting o the spell sound steamy. Sex Magick is very descriptive but I never felt that Laura Stamps went over the edge. There are some sizzling and steamy scenes, that will leave you needing a cold shower. But there is a lot of typical day stuff int he book such as shopping and cooking, that I am not really convinced needed to be there. It was nice hearing about their everyday life, but it seemed to miss something. I did really enjoy how the magic was interwoven throughout Sex Magick.The cliff hanger will leave you wondering what happened to Noelle to make her avoid long term relationships. What will happen now that Wynn wants to marry her? It will leave you wanting the next book immediately. Overall I enjoyed this novella and I look forward to reading Bewitched at the Beach and The Harvest Moon. I am dying to know if Wynn can convince Noelle to marry him. Sex Magick was a unique read and I would recommend it to any erotica book lover. less
