What Witches Want - Book Review by Dawn Thomas

In this book she is the leading character. Her business is thriving and she is becoming comfortable in her new life in a new city. The book begins with her receiving a “gift” from the faeries – a small kitten. For Savannah the kitten brings joy and happiness that is associated with young kittens. She gets another message that she should be open to love. At first Savannah is concerned that she isn’t ready for a new relationship but puts it in the hands of the Goddess. She also learns about being an empath and gets a better understanding of emotions.    

Later in the book another woman is introduced. Noel becomes a neighbor and friend during a time when Savannah needs one the most. Ravena (makes organic catnip mice and herbal remedies) and Mirabella (an abstract artist) have smaller roles than they did in the first book. It is good to see where they are in their lives. I would have missed them if they hadn’t included.    

It is very easy to relate to these women. Each one brings something different to the story. They are like most women. They worry about everyday things and wonder what tomorrow will bring. The book has a message of faith, hope and love. It is easy to read about these emotions but it is another thing to really feel them. I could feel the hope and faith Savannah had that she would find love and happiness. It is a wonderful book that makes you feel good about life.
