 Sweet Satisfying Story of Romance & Empowerment October 22, 2008
This is a beautiful story about friendship, healing, and love. Although this is my first book by the author, it's actually Book 2 in the Witchery series. I jumped right in with ease, so I would consider this book a stand alone.
First, let me say, I loved that this book is sprinkled with details about Wiccan culture and traditions. Each witch is chosen by a Goddess at some point in their life, and their Goddess offers protection and guidance. Savannah has come to Columbia, South Carolina to start a new life without her emotionally abusive ex-husband Greer. A Wiccan Faery Witch, Savannah is surprised when her Egyptian Cat Goddess Bast brings an adorable kitten Re to her front door. Goddess Bast also indicates a new love will enter Savannah's life. But Savannah first goes through healing with the help of fellowship from her Wiccan friends, especially long-time friend Ravena and her new neighbor Noelle. During the first part of the book, you're immersed into Savannah's life and with the rich details, you truly feel as if you're going on this journey with her: dinners and afternoon iced teas with her girlfriends, dealing with the damage of her marriage to Greer, trying to keep her magikal handbag business successful, dealing with the riotous antics of her new kitten Re! (I've got a dog, but I'm seriously considering a cat now!). When Noelle and her sexy Wiccan boyfriend Wynn introduce Savannah to green witch Donnie - sparks immediately begin to fly. I loved that Savannah was very sensual and had no shame in giving in to her desires and heart. With gorgeous Donnie's long blond hair, lean killer body, and gentle spirit, can you blame her? But when Savannah's ex arrives in Columbia, she suddenly has two men in her life!
In addition to the love blossoming, this book has a chill factor that gave me goosebumps in a "Sleeping with the Enemy" sort of way. As Laura Stamps will tell you, she's been there - and it's clear she's writing from experience. The way the little subtleties begin to slowly escalates.....just read it! Don't worry, there's definitely a satisfying HEA and Savannah comes out on top. I can't wait to read Book 3 in this series, Call of the Witches - fortunately, I think its available this October. Enjoy!
 What Witches Want...is entertaining. October 7, 2008
Savannah Monroe is a thirty-five year old Wiccan Faery Witch who owns a successful business called `Savannah's Magickal Handbags'.
Her now ex-husband Reece is a negative man who had taken the joy out of everyday life for the loving and friendly Savannah. Moving to South Carolina was just what she needed for a new start and inspiration.
One morning Savannah finds a messenger of light; a small kitten that she happily welcomes into her home. Unsure of what the furry little bundle's appearance may...

 An Excellent continuation in the Witches of Dixie series August 1, 2008
This is a continuation of the story of the four witches from "Dixie". The first book was a series of short stories. We were introduced to four women all going through different issues in their lives. One of the women was Savannah Monroe. She had concerns her business of making magical handbags was beginning to decline. 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.

Since I hadn't read the first book, I was concerned I'd be missing something. The series isn't set up that way and the author gives enough background information to where I didn't feel lost in the story.
For me, the first half of the book lacked the conflict needed to move the story forward. It's basically a day to day in the life of Savannah. It wasn't until the middle when the story became interesting. I also felt the relationship between Savannah and Donnie was rushed. The book ended before I was able to get excited about their relationship.
On the plus side, the way Stamps is able to string words together in a sentence is beautiful. I wish all writers could do this with such ease. Her dialog is equally done to perfection, and that's not all. She creates an environment to be envied by every reader. By the end of the book, I wanted Savannah and her friends to be my friends and neighbors. They are all so believable that you have me wanting to know if they really exist.
Very enjoyable! May 20, 2008

I really liked this book, I'm not going to go into the story line, I'm just going to say this was a good read. I would love to live in a neighborhood like these characters live in. I wanted this book to keep going for years, Laura stamps seems able to make everyday life an entertaining read. I can't wait to read the next installment! Keep it going Laura!
