And the continued lack of security as the book continues bothered me – bordering TSTL (too stupid to live). Additionally, I felt the lack of police presence at Annette’s mom’s home after what goes down is ridiculous. Although the author gives reasons, I was dismayed that Annette didn’t figure out what was going on with the phantom warlock. With that said, I had some issues with the story. I liked seeing Annette have a heart-to-heart with her family. I love the humor, which remains consistently strong, and there is a fabulous Buffy reference. I enjoyed seeing Annette find her own voice and way of doing things as she gains confidence. While it took a bit, the overall story did grab me. There is all sorts of trouble brewing back at mom’s, including a condescending cousin, a lost ghost child, an evil stepfather, and a mysterious shadow warlock who may or may not be helping Annette. Now that Annette knows she’s a witch, she heads back to Arizona to visit her mom to find out who her real father is (because now she realizes it isn’t the man who raised her). Annette and Deph have similar personalities, which is part of the reason I had trouble adjusting to the change. I will admit that I didn’t care for it at first, but by the end of the book, I’d been able to wrap my head around the change. At first I was totally thrown for a loop that the series changed main characters and the narrator, while still first person POV, is no longer Defiance. Picking up shortly after the conclusion of the previous book, Moonlight and Magic shifts gears and moves Annette, the previous sidekick character, into the role of protagonist.
