Sex and the Psychic Witch (Triplet Witch Trilogy, #1) Reviews
-
i can deal with the fact that the author can't spell or identify homonyms [because at least she can tell a good story!] - but it makes me want to buy the copy editor a matching dictionary and thesaurus.

Meh, I liked it alright. To be truthful, I almost put it away after the first few chapters. This author's writing style is not my favorite. She tries so hard to be witty in every line that she actually turns out NOT witty at all. There's so much banter between the hero and heroine that at times it barely made sense, and greatly distracted me from the main plot, which was actually not that bad.
I grew more interested when King's family showed up, and the ending was nice.
The love scenes were so oddly placed and seemed to come out of nowhere.
I'm not sure if I'll read the next book in this series. I would like to see what happens with Storm and Destiny, but the snarky banter really gets on my nerves. -
When I first started this book I was completely bored and confused. The writing isnt that great. It only got interesting once the characters finally started getting it on. After that the story finally began to surface but not much. If youre looking for something hot and quick to read then check it out. But as far as the supernatural elements of this novel, dont count on it too much. I would have preferred more witchy witches rather than the wiccan types to read about.

Harmony Cartwright, one of the three triplet witches, sees darkness and despair when she tries on an antique gown. Traveling to its source, Paxton Castle, she must tame a witchly ghost bent on retribution while also taming the resistant but handsome owner of the castle, King Paxton.
I just didn't get into this one much. King is a terrible hero, always brooding and never connecting. His surprise daughter and grandson were too much. Also, Harmony's portrayal just seemed off, like the author was trying too hard. I found myself just wanting it to be over many times. -
This super-cute paranormal romance is part one of a three part series involving the Cartwright triplets. Each triplet is a witch in her own right. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with, not to mention they are identical knockouts. Harmony as psychometry as her talent. She touches an object and immediately knows of their former owners. This talent has its uses as Harmony is co-owner of a vintage clothing and curio store with her sisters. A recent find of a dress with a ring sewn into its hem has Harmony on the hunt for the original, albeit dead, owner of the items. It brings her to King Paxton. King has a ghost problem. Not that he calls it that. But he has a castle he wants to dispose of after he renovates it which is hard to do when a ghost is doing its best to make renovations impossible. As soon as Harmony arrives onsite she knows she has found the right place. It isn't merely that the ghost quiets at her presence, it's because there is a lot more malevolence waiting for her in the castle. On the plus side, the castle has a lot of vintage clothing just waiting for her to go through and make an offer! King doesn't know what to make of Harmony. Well, he does, but he doesn't want to. She quiets the ghost he doesn't want to admit is haunting the place. She ignites the libido he doesn't want to admit he still has. And she may have a way to save the day which his ego is having a hard time with. None of which stops Harmony for an instant. This is cute, sexy, funny and delightful.

This book introduces the Cartwright sisters-Harmony, Destiny and Storm-triplets and long lost sisters to Victoria Cartwright the main character in The Scot, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Unlike their sister Victoria, these ladies embrace their witchy ways.
This book is about Harmony. She is able to read objects and get information about their owners from objects. This leads her to a haunted castle that is being renovated. The workers can't get there job done with the spooky happenings and Harmony feels compelled to get involved. She takes a job keeping the ghost quite and a romance ensues with the owner of the house (Not the ghost) and with the power of three (the other sisters get involved) they overcome the ghosty problem and live happily ever after.
I find this series cute and there are pretty good sex scenes. It's not a deep thinkier series - which is probabaly a du. Just fun, light, sexy reading.

I was very excited to start reading The Triplet Witch Trilogy by Annette Blair, but I was quickly disappointed. I expected a fun, light-hearted chick-litish paranormal, but all I got was a sex-filled, annoying book. I don't really have too much to say except that I just didn't like it. The writing got on my nerves, especially the dialogue. And it felt like the plot was thrown together, with random events thrown in. And with the exception of Jake, the two-year-old little boy, I didn't really care about any of the characters. I have the next two books in the series to read, and since I am one of those people that has to follow through, I will read them next. I can only hope that I like them more than this one.

Book one of the series involving the Cartwright Triplets. Originally introduced in the book, "The Scot, The Witch and the Wardrobe"
Harmony, the buyer for her sisters' vintage curio shop, can read objects and learn of their former owners. Now, a Celtic ring leads her to a castle on the coast of Massachusetts. King Paxton's money-pit is cursed, and he hopes that this leggy blonde can help him find peace with an angry ghost, a disgruntled renovation crew-and his own heart. -
I feel bad rating this one because I never finished the book. Which is annoying since I was so thrilled with the earlier trilogy that I thought one about the triplets would be fantastic, so I ran out and bought the first one the second I found it... but she lost me with all the flowery metaphors in the land of sex.
-
So I actually ended up really liking this book. I'll start the second book in the trilogy tomorrow, but I really hope the phrase "man brain" is kept to a minimum in that one. I am sad to report that the mystery of Dracula and the yard sale from chapter one was not revealed.

fun but sexy

DNF! This book is just awful! I only made it in 39 pages before giving up. I had hoped that this story would be cute and charming but I was so terribly wrong! At the beginning you are thrown into this cluster of chicks talking.
Harmony, Destiny, and Storm. Apparently they are triplets and run a curio shop in Salem. The sisters can get vibes from items and some of them have clairvoyance. The sister, Harmony, gets drawn to an old dress that shows up at their vintage shop.
After some very confusing, pointless, and stupid conversations that did not endear any of the characters to me, Harmony decides that the dress 'speaks' to her and that she must go to the place that was in her vision.
Turns out that she already knows that place! Convenient right? Anyway, the lead then goes to this castle where she apparently bewitches all the male construction workers because she is just so hot! Like OMG, so hot hot hot! She's a showstopper! Bleh!
Having to read about Harmony's 'goddess' good looks was nauseating! And of course, the person who is having work done on the castle is this dark, brooding man. His name is King, and he is apparently too sexy for his shirt.
The 'plot' in this is just pathetic and juvenile. Not to mention that it is completely overridden by all the lustful gazes they pass back and forth. I can't remember what page it started to happen on, but nearly all the pages are stuffed with how Harmony and King want to rip each others clothes off.
They have known one another for about 5min and already want to do that? Harmony seems to be a bit of a ho, and she also seems to be rather proud of that. Wanting and willing to jump a guys bones after knowing him for a few minutes doesn't give me the best impression of her.
Then again, what should I expect from a book called 'Sex and the Psychic Witch'. Truthfully, I was hoping for something fun to read. I wanted light romantic comedy. What I got was obnoxious characters trying to be witty.
Basically this is like a softcore porn movie put into book form. The author tried to make an engaging plot even though it feels completely pointless and is put on the back burner. No thank you! I can't take anymore torture. Stay away from this book! It's garbage. -
Annette Blair is one of those authors that just writes some incredibly sweet, cute, easy readers. And I always forget how much I love her work until the next time I pick up a novel. Sex and the Psychic Witch has a little more sass than her Accidental Witch Trilogy. But in the best way possible – I love Harmony’s ability to stand up for herself in spite of everything she’s put up against.
There is something fun and mystical about twins and triplets, particularly triplets since there is the Triple Aspect of the Goddess and all… but I don’t get to read about them much in my many, many books. I love that this is a trilogy based solely on a set of triplets, each finding their own way to a happily ever after and love. Plus, you can already tell who they’re each going to pair up with. And I do really love the fact that they’re each going to end up with a man who is in his own trio-friendship. It works beautifully – I know that my sister’s eventual partner is going to have to make friends with mine, and I can’t imagine that extra connectivity of being a triplet.
Harmony is an absolute spitfire. I love her penchant for ironic tees. Her ability to give King the message loud and clear, according to what she wears and find a way to hold onto her own identity. Even when she’s being partnered with a man who is ramrod straight, domineering and unwilling to yield. Plus, there’s the whole added complication of an angry ghost.
Sex and the Psychic Witch is a great little love story. But, what I love even more is the fact that there is a supernatural mayday. The preceding trilogy, Accidental Witch Trilogy touched on witchcraft, but it didn’t really use it as a major storyline. This trilogy is going to be quite different, probably because the triplets actually embrace their powers and find a way to work it into their daily lives. -
***NOTE MY REVIEWS OFTEN CONTAIN SPOILERS***
Harmony Cartwright is a psychometric witch, meaning things call to her and tell her the stories of their former owners. When a dress in a rummage sale summons her she find in the hem a Celtic ring and a vision of a castle – ghost and all. She knows it’s a cosmic calling, a problem only she can fix and she leaves her sisters to fulfill her duty. What she didn’t count on was the castle’s sexy owner King Paxton - a hard-nosed technocrat standing in her way. She’s quickly drawn into a world with an angry ghost seeking vindication – taking her anger out on Paxton descendents and a sexual attraction like one she’s never known. But while she’s saving King from his ghost, will she manage to save her heart from him?
I hadn’t intended to read another Blair novel quite so soon, obviously I have review requests to get through and the many other things a book blogger obligates themselves to do, but her work has become almost like an addiction and since I learned in the last Blair novel I read that the Triplet Witch Trilogy was actually a spinoff of The Accidental Witch Trilogy I couldn’t resist. As I mentioned in my review of the final installment of the Accidental Witch Trilogy – The Scot The Witch and the Wardrobe Blair had moved the trilogy into the edges of paranormal romance though the contemporary back bone of the story remained the center of the plot. With this novel and trilogy she moves the book firmly into the paranormal romance genre in my personal opinion, because in this book the paranormal plot is equal to the romance in importance. Though I really enjoyed the book, I will say I think she has more of a talent for contemporary than for paranormal. The work is reminiscent of some of the Nora Roberts Trilogies which is of course a good sign since Roberts has been the reigning queen of romance for a very long time. However Blair doesn’t manage to bring through that edge of your seat fright that Roberts portrays in similar titles. Blair has a talent for lighthearted and humorous romance, she excels at it, so even though some of the scenes should have been dark and frightening they never managed to create that fear. Don’t get me wrong I loved the witches, the castle and the ghosts, however the lighthearted tone of the book sort of negates the fear factor. As always it’s a delightful romance written in a close third person which does include, but does not abuse sex. She brings an empowered female lead – sex toy collection and all with a broody stubborn male lead. Blair has broody man down to an art. Many of the scenes in this novel are laugh out loud funny, including a scene where a ghost impales King with a wooden bayonet right where the sun doesn’t shine. It might have been scary told by any other writer, but I couldn’t stop laughing with the manner Blair told the tale. While we did see the return of the triplets introduced at the end of the previous trilogy, since of course this trilogy is there, other characters from the Accidental Witch trilogy were at best only mention and for the most part forgotten. As with all Blair’s titles Trilogy or not they include a full story arc, the trilogies are linked through their characters rather than their storylines. Similar to other titles she pulls on heart strings by bringing children into the mix, but unlike other titles the children here are a concern but not as much of a focus. I did like the scenes of magic and ghosts, but there was a humor to everything that separates this novel from your average paranormal romance. The love story was a little rushed everything falling into place in under a month, but the chemistry and destined feel were definitely there. The book also has some sexual scenes, much like her other titles which were a little hard to buy into. If everyone reached orgasm as easily as Blair’s female leads do we’d all be a much happier society. Another thing I didn’t like was the constant power of three mention ripped right from popular television show Charmed. More than just this contributed to the similarities between the trilogy and the show but I don’t see the need to list them. The romance was spicy and the other plot lines were extremely interesting. The book was a delightful read with a well written fast paced plot.
The characters though well developed are what most brings to mind Roberts trilogy work as we’re introduced to all female current and future leads as well as all male current and future leads within the first book. The women are triplets and the men are close friends and during this title you already know exactly who is going to hook up with whom. While I’ve mentioned knowing this isn’t detrimental in romance, rather expected because it’s the journey not the surprise that matters I couldn’t help but think of Roberts work while reading this. The characters are well developed during this novel. While they were flat in their introductory novel, during this one each clearly has her own personality though of course the rebel Storm stands apart more than the other two. Harmony however is a likeable character though she’s kind of low on the fault and insecurity factor which I didn’t really like. She was funny, but almost too perfect in how she’s portrayed. King on the other hand is filled with faults and is definitely the weaker of the two leading characters. He does however achieve character growth during the novel more than Harmony’s character does because she doesn’t come across as actually needing to grow during the novel. I did like that all of the male and female characters in the book had a flesh and singularity to them, distinctive characteristics that prevented them from falling flat on the page. There are more secondary characters than the ones listed and some of them still have that individualistic quality but most are just background characters.
Overall this in an enjoyable and hilarious read which I’d highly recommend to readers of both contemporary and paranormal romance. Just don’t walk into expecting the edgy fear factor normally associated with a paranormal romance. -
Весело-забавна книжка, малко ми липсват детайли от историята на полусестрата (мисия: да открия какво се е случило), и малко неща, които не получиха отговор в книгата, но все пак ме чакат още две... Следколедно лесно за преглъщане четиво.

This was a fun read. I really liked the characters, their personalities, the bantering, emotions, spunk and a good ending. Great for an anytime read or passing the long days. Interesting, intriguing, stubborn and creative. It has quite a bit of steaminess. Enjoy
-
Absolutely Fabulous!
-
Great story line but if you are offended by graphic sexual scenes avoid this book.
-
Just alright

The first chapter was so poorly written I actually groaned. However, I was glad I stuck it out both for the character interaction and the realistic portrayal of modern witchcraft.
Though horrible in the first chapter, the dialogue was pretty funny with a lot of really fun and sassy banter. I felt like the characters could be real people with real thoughts and emotions. I often found myself becoming emotionally involved with what the characters were saying and looked forward to watching them grow.
The best part for me, however, was the witchy parts. Psychic abilities aside, the depiction of ritual was accurate and appropriate. As a Wiccan, I often find modern fiction with witchy protaganists to be uncomfortable, embarassing, and sometimes even offensive. Not so with this book. I felt drawn into the ritual as though a part of it.
I will strongly consider looking for the other titles in this series.
