review 1: This was a surprise! I bought it without reading a sample or any reviews - I've read enough of Derr's stuff to trust that I'll like it, whatever it is - but it wasn't the least bit fairytalesque. It was, however, one of the most unique contemporary short fantasies I've read in a long time. With a main character that somehow has my love of herbs and my over-the-top threats (one line is actually one I've used, word for word) and my exhaustion with corporate life. I wanted to hug him. And smoke one of his funny cigarettes.This was a good short read. I'm pleased.
review 2: Jordan is a practicing hedge witch who gets the chance to improve his finances and maybe the reputation of hedge witches when he gets a job at a big magic firm. They have previously hired the mo... morere prestigious elemental witch, so he’s determined to make a go of it. The fact that he hates it is beside the point. As he is unwinding one night outside his motel room, smoking herb and kicking back in his pajama pants, herb and flower tattoos on display, he meets the gorgeous Shayne. I did blink a little bit at Jordan wanting to dispel the idea that hedge witches are herb-smoking hippies as he is acting like an herb-smoking hippie, but okay. Even as Jordan is just holding out that after his probationary period his job will get better, he is happier with more money for himself and his brother and now has a new guy in the form of Shayne. I read Jayden’s story first (Beach Remedy) and he seems a lot more scatterbrained here. The brothers snipe at each other and you can see the love behind it. They have been all for each other for years and you can tell. I liked that a lot. There are some secrets being held and some problems at work that have to be worked through. Jordan is a great character, honorable and loyal. Shayne is a bit more complicated. Jayden’s protection of Jordan towards the end was the best. Those brothers have each other’s backs. I did want a little more groveling, as well. I like the setting for this story and I’m hoping there will be more in this world in the future. less
