Petty Magic by Camille Deangelis

A nice distracting bit of witchery, this is the story of Evelyn, beldame from the House of Harbinger.  The story has witchcraft of the most uplifting and useful kind as well as the kind used entirely for selfish reasons. It's got fantasy, romance, adventure, mystery and nostalgia, all rolled together and told from the somewhat flippant but very likeable voice of Evelyn.
This is sort of like Anne Rice-lite.  If you like romance novels and witch stories with a bit more of a literary flair, then you'll enjoy Petty Magic. 
320 fairly fast moving pages.
