Review Quotes:
Praise for The Sea Wicche Chronicles:
"A supernatural mystery with a well-developed protagonist...and a swoon-worthy love interest." Kirkus Reviews on Bewitched: The Sea Wicche Chronicles
"EDITOR'S PICK: Kelly (author of the Sam Quinn series) kicks off this paranormal romance series with a spirited defense of the villain from The Little Mermaid and then the introduction of a wicche artist named Arwyn and a construction working werewolf named Declan. Together take on familial expectations, a dangerous sorcerer, and the nebulous evil slowly poisoning the local community in the first book of the Sea Witch Chronicles. ...This story hits all the right beats for a paranormal romance, and the complicating factors make the prospect of future books enticing." Book Life (On Bewitched)
"A paranormal romantic fantasy novel with a hint of a murder mystery and the first book in a new series featuring a clairvoyant wicche who runs a seaside art gallery.
While Seana Kelly's previous, immensely popular, Sam Quinn series featured a werewolf who runs a bar/bookstore, this first volume in the "Sea Wicche Chronicles" find Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the titular sea wicche, opening up a tea room/art gallery. This familiarity in set-up will delight Kelly's loyal readers as will the arrival of this book's very own werewolf character within its first few pages. ...Kelly gets the balance right between a good-natured, cozy romp, with just a side of romance, and a harder, more sinister edge. Though never quite straying into full detective thriller territory, BEWICCHED certainly has more suspenseful elements than most light fantasy novels. The plotting is good and the author gives her new character plenty to do in her first outing. And Arwyn is an instantly engaging creation with enough quirks and force of will to propel her through many future escapades. ...With an intriguing back story that can be expected to be further revealed, Seana Kelly's BEWICCHED (The Sea Wicche Chronicles) is a well-written contemporary fantasy novel that skillfully introduces a new character-driven series.
