August TBR complete!

Title: A Fistful Of Charms

Author: Kim Harrison

Year published: 2006

Book Description: Witch Rachel Morgan must leave The Hollows to find her ex-boyfriend, Nick, who has spirited her partner's son away and is engaging in illegal activities. Young Jax, a pixie, could be in danger from the cool weather. When Rachel learns that her ex-boyfriend has stolen a priceless were artifact, things get much more tense. To further complicate things, she and Jenks had a major falling out when she withheld some information from him, fearing that he'd share it with others. They have to learn to regain their professional relationship if Jax and Nick are to be saved.

Why did you get this book? Because I own the entire series, though I cheated and read this as a library book.

Did you enjoy the book? I did! I loved the fact that Jenks was a large part of the story and I enjoyed see Nick's true colors finally emerge. The book was different from what I expected, and isn't my favorite of the series, but I did enjoy it!

Was the author new to you and would you read something by this author again? she's not new to me and I absolutely will read more of her books.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? It is on my keeper shelf :)

huuge stress off my shoulders

The lease on our townhome will expire at the end of Sept. We REALLY didn't want to move again., esp. since we moved into our first townhome and the owners sold it after we'd been there only 4.5 mos. BY some miracle we found this place, two streets away and virtually the same floor plan.

Anyway...we heard back from the landlord, who is going to extend our lease by three years, with an option to buy. I'm absolutely THRILLED!
