Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sharon Karaa is a mass of contradictions but two facets of her character have always battled for supremacy; her logical self (let's call him Frank) and her artistic side (lets her call Misty).

Until recently, Frank won every battle, forcing Sharon into a life based on most probable outcome and, to give him his credit, it has led to a fairly comfortable if rather boring life so far.

Then Misty took up kickboxing and gave Frank a good kick in the goodies.

Sharon lives with her husband in a little village north of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

**spoiler alert**

Book 2 is Natalia’s story, and if possible it is even better than the first book. Natalia has already shown herself to be fierce and loyal and just a complete badass, with supermodel good looks. It would be easy to hate her for the supermodel looks, but how can you when she has unfailingly protected and defended Lauren in book one? Now we get to delve into her personal life, and it isn’t what I expected.

The opening is a bit clunky, again. There’s something about obvious scene-setting explanations that don’t appeal to me in books. They always sound like the scene-setting explanation in play scripts, which isn’t to be shared with the audience, but is given as an aid to the actors. I prefer to jump right in and have the backstory revealed to me as the story unfolds. The obviousness here is quickly forgiven, as I got sucked up into Natalia’s life.

All of our old friends are back, and a few new ones are added to the mix: a blonde Adonis angel, and a tall, dark, and handsome demon. There’s no shortage of eye candy here, or chaos. Do you expect anything less, with Agnes and Geordie hanging around?

Natalia cracks me up with her antics. Getting kicked out of Hell for making it snow? Hysterical! Being pissed off about having to hang out in a sunny, flower-filled field, because it is too happy? Ha! She makes me laugh. “What are these feelings I am having???” Funny stuff.

There was a point that I was groaning, as I thought I knew how things were going to play out. It seemed so obvious, and so identical to a situation in the first book. Surprise! It didn’t go that way at all. Not being a fan of the obvious, or of formulaic writing, I was quite pleased that I couldn’t accurately anticipate anything in this book. Except that there is a HEA. I won’t say with who, though….

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and am a smidge impatient for book three. Alas, I don’t think it has been written yet, so I have a bit of a wait ahead of me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Two Of The Series
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2015

Second book in the series and this one focuses on Laurens Familiar a demon that was kicked out of hell as being to much of a prankster. Fun, light and entertaining. Follows the standard trope and there is a lot of running back and forth between Heaven and Hell in this one. She finds she has to choose between two brothers (One Angel, One Demon).

Author is British and as such be aware that what appears at first to be spelling errors is really just the difference in how we spell many common words. Phrasing is also different at times. If you realize that and turn off editor mode it really is an entertaining story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit For Sharon
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2014

Sharon's second book is a hit. The new characters have all the depth and personality that the original cast of characters posses. Her descriptions of them physically and their personalities make them come alive as you read. She is so descriptive that I could picture each person.
As to the plot, it has a nice pace that keeps the things moving. Plenty of action, romance and drama. Just the right mix. I love the contrast of good vs. evil in this book. Good vs. Evil plays a large role in this book. Good does triumph but not in the traditional way. It takes a surprising twist.
Her description of Satan at times had me laughing out loud. He came off as a spoiled child that moves home to daddy when he doesn't get his way. Not what most people picture.
If you like stories that have just the right amount of dark vs. light then please try out Sharon's books. Even though they have a dark side, the dark side is not so dark that you want to put it down because it gets to depressing or scary. It is a fun dark side with lots of twists and turns.
This is an entertaining read, that has left me wanting more. It has all the elements that I like in a book: comedy, conflict, drama, romance and fun. I can't wait for her next book to come out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun-Well Worth Reading
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016

I have just completed all three books in tbe series. I loved this one so much I went right to book three. I love series with characters that continue in all the books. These books can stand alone but knowing the back story definitely adds to the story. This book was a very different plot from the first. I found them equally well written with well developed, unique charactets and plots that kept you enthralled. It was impossible to figure out where each plot would go, so like so many other reviewers I just had to keep reading to the end! You will love these characters and wish they were your friends. You will laugh and maybe even shed a few tears while sharing the lives of the characters.

This is the first time I have read anything by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. Story was a bit odd to start with but became interesting rather quickly. Personally I would have liked to see her get both men rather than choose one. But interesting read. Look forward to reading the rest of the series

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016

On a whole I enjoyed this book, however, I'm not sure that everyone will care for the description of some of the characters. I know that I didn't. However, I gave it 5stars because I did get lots of laughs from it and I did really like most of the characters. Anyone reading this book must remember that it's all in fun and not to take some of it too seriously.

The first book in the series was good, but this one was better! I loved getting to ride along on Natalia's journey of self discovery, and especially liked her sessions with Freud. Abaddon was hot, hot, hot and I rooted for him the whole time. There was a lot of action in this book and the ending was perfect but wasn't easy to guess. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Another hilarious episode in the Northern Witches saga.
Sharon has such a way of describing her characters that they really come to life and almost leap from the pages.
This isn't merely a funny book though, it delves into relationships and redemption in a way that has you gripped until the end. An amazing cast and a rollicking tale, I cannot get enough of this series!
